This document outlines an Electrical Estimation and Costing course for electrical and electronics engineering students. The course has 5 modules that cover principles of estimation, wiring methods, service mains, overhead transmission lines, and substations. Students will learn how to conduct market surveys, estimate material quantities and costs, understand wiring designs and cable ratings, estimate service connections, and prepare diagrams of transmission and distribution systems. The goal is for students to understand electrical installation costing and be able to estimate wiring projects, transmission lines, and substation components. Assessment includes a 3-hour exam with 10 questions, and students must answer 5 questions by selecting 1 from each module.
