Part B : The MMUT – Advanced Concepts course beginswith a study of electrical power and the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.  Students will learn about the requirements for overhead and underground service connections, circuit breakers, and grounding.  Lesson 7 provides detailed information regarding telephone circuits, while Lesson 8 provides detailed information on fiber optics technology.  Lesson 9 introduces “Smart Home” technology and what must be considered regarding design and installation practices to facilitate this technology.  The course concludes with a look at premises restoration considerations for retrofit applications.

Part C: The MMUT – Hands-on Lab course teaches students the proper use and applications for the various tools and test equipment typically used for wire installation jobs.  Students will also learn what excellentcustomer interfacing and communications skills and practices look like and how to manage conflict should it arise.  The final lesson in the course discusses basic troubleshooting practices and procedures.  The course ends with students participating in several hands-on exercised designed to test the knowledge and skills they have learned throughout the course

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

Part A: 

• List and describe safety requirements and practices when working with electrical circuits and when working aloft.
• Describe basic first aid treatment for electrical shock and eye injuries and identify which procedures may or may not e performed by trained First Aid workers.
• List and describe applicable TIA/EIA structured cabling standards.
• Identify the correct color code and pin assignments for T568A and T568B standards.
• List and describe applicable low voltage wiring standards and requirements.
• Discuss the importance of adherence to specifications and the use of blue prints.
• Discuss the proper procedures for working with copper and coax cables as it pertains to prepping ends of the cables and installing connectors.
• Discuss how to perform verification and certification testing of installed cables.
• Explain what pre-wiring tasks and studies should be performed to ensure accurate and quality installations.

Part B: 

• Demonstrate how to perform accurate calculations using Ohm’s Law formulas for voltage, current, resistance and power.
• Explain the purpose of electrical circuit grounding, and list the applicable NEC rules for residential applications.
• Describe how to correctly install telephone circuits, including cable color code assignments, types of jacks and connector terminations.
• Describe how to correctly strip, cleave, and splice fiber and install connectors on fiber ends.
• List industry standard acceptable optical splice and connector loss and describe how to test fiber cables using Optical Power Source/ Light Meter and an OTDR.
• Describe considerations and requirements for “Smart Home” structured cabling.
• List premises restorations considerations for retrofit cabling applications.

Part C: 

• List tools and test equipment used in structured wiring applications and discuss proper usage.
• Discuss what excellent customer interfacing and communications practices should look like and how to manage conflict should it arise.
• Demonstrate the proper installation of CAT 5 and Coax cables, including installing connectors and jacks.
