THIS SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMED TEXT IS FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENT USE IN STUDYING STATIC CONTROL IN ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAMS. IT WAS DEVELOPED BY AN INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS SPECIALIST AND ADVISERS AND HAS BEEN TESTED BY STUDENT USE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO HELP THE ELECTRICAL-TECHNICIAN DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF STATIC CONTROL FUNCTIONS. THE MATERIAL IS DIVIDED INTO FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS AND LANGUAGE OF CONTROL FUNCTIONS, THE LOGIC OF CONTROL FUNCTIONS, AND STATIC CONTROL ELEMENTS. THE LESSONS WITHIN EACH SECTION PROVIDE THE LESSON SUBJECT, PURPOSE, INFORMATION, AND EXERCISES. THE MATERIAL IS PROGRAMED USING A FOUR-STEP LESSON PLAN, SUBJECT, PURPOSE, INFORMATION, AND EXERCISES, AND FOLD-OUTS PROVIDE ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. ANSWERS TO THE EXERCISES ARE GIVEN AT THE END OF EACH SECTION. ALL OF THE NECESSARY INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE TEXT. THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ELECTRICAL TECHNICIANS EMPLOYED IN THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES AND SHOULD HAVE A COMPREHENSION OF RELAY CIRCUITS AND ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FUNDAMENTALS. THIS UNIT IS ONE OF A SERIES DEVELOPED FOR AN ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAM. ASSIGNMENTS AND INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDES FOR OTHER UNITS ARE AVAILABLE AS VT 000 284-VT 000 287, VT 000 308-VT 000 321, AND VT 005 507.
