“Learning Fundamentals of Electricity is no different than learning ABC. If you do not know your ABC’s, you are not going to be able to read and write, and similarly without mastering Fundamentals of Electricity, you cannot be successful in occupations like Maintenance Mechanics, Instrumentation Technicians, Electricians etc., it is just an accident waiting to happen” – Gurminder Sangha, Dean, Educational Services & Pathway Effectiveness Fresno City College
