This workstation prepares students to assemble, install, test, maintain, and repair electric
motors. Students disassemble motor, test circuits, and replace parts in a hands-on introduction to
principals of operation of electric motors. An electric motor is provided to teach electric motor principles
of operation. Students perform the following tasks in repairing an electric motor: motor disassembly,
identification of parts, changing the direction of rotation, re-assembly, and changing the capacitator.
CURRICULUM:
Curriculum manual is provided in a three-ring binder,
with pages contained in page protectors. Easy to follow
step by step activities are highlighted using full color
photographs. Once introduced to career related information

"hands on" work experience, using professional tools of the
trade to complete projects or tasks. An audio tape follows
the manual word for word. Pre-and post tests, worksheets,
