The course will focus on advanced electrical controls, devices and related control circuitry. Advanced timing functions and circuits, pilot control and sequencing, as well as variable frequency control will all be covered in this course. ETDE 1133 - Introduction to EET This course will be designed to give the student a broad overview and exposure to a variety of electrical and electronic principles and practices. The course will be a combination of classroom lecture and discussion, self study and research, and practical application activities so that the student has a clear understanding of the topics as well as the ability to properly apply associated tools, software, and equipment. ETDE 1343 - Introduction to Electrical Motor Controls This course introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical motors and associated electrical controls. Topics include: ladder diagrams, schematic diagrams, contactors, motor starters, control relays, timing relays, pilot control devices, AC/DC motors and related control devices. Upon completion, students should be able to properly select, install and troubleshoot motors and associated control systems. ETDE 2093 - Variable Speed Drives This course introduces the student to Variable Speed Drives (VSD), there applications and programming. Topics include load and power requirements, drive components, operation fundamentals, Installation, programming, VSD testing, troubleshooting and selections. Upon completion, the student will be able to install, troubleshoot, and program variable frequency drives. Students will also analyze how variable speed drives save energy and maintenance costs in industrial applications. ETDE 2093 - Introduction to Industrial Networking This course introduces the fundamentals of local area networks and their operation in the industrial control environment. Topics include the characteristics of network topologies, system hardware (repeaters, bridges, routers, and gateways), system configuration, and installation of administration of the LAN. Upon completion, students will be able to install, maintain, and manage typical industrial control networks. ETDE 2113 - Introduction to PLC's This course introduces digital logic, number systems, and circuits as they relate to computing, memory, and control systems. Topics include: numbering systems, logic gates, flip-flops, counters, shift registers, latches, decoders, multiplexers, interfaces, displays, I/O, and timing circuits. Students learn computer communication systems, communication standards, and troubleshooting. Microprocessors, microcontrollers, and embedded systems are also introduced. ETDE 2253 - Introduction to Hydraulics & Pneumatics This course covers hydraulic/pneumatic principles including basic theory, laws and applications. System components and their applications will be covered including pumping units, filers, hoses and tubing, valves, cylinders, pumps and motors. Hydraulic fluids and their characteristics are also covered. ETDG 1143 - Introduction to Design/Drafting Students will learn basic use and application of AutoCAD as a drafting tool through the creation of geometrical shapes, parts, drawings, and electrical symbols and schematics. Students will also gain a basic understanding of the fields of civil, mechanical, and architectural design and drafting ETDM 1153 - Introduction to Machining & Fabrication This is an introductory course in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and their applications. Topics include ladder logic diagrams, input and output modules, power supplies, surge protection, selection and installation of controllers, and interfacing controllers with equipment. Upon successful completion, the students should be able to install PLCs and create basic programs. |
