MAT106 - Applied Mathematics ( 3 Semester Hours)
Applied mathematics is a fundamental course for students in technical and career programs. The course includes fundamental mathematics, algebra, geometry, right triangle trigonometry, business mathematics, and statistical concepts which are applied to the solution of practical problems. Scientific notation, metrics and use of the calculator are also covered. Prerequisite: MAT 075 with a grade of C or higher or appropriate placement score, or one year of high school algebra with grade of C or higher, or High School Math 1 with grade of C or higher. Semester hour(s): 3 Lecture/Lab Hours: 3 lec/weekOR HIGHER MAT COURSE
EET107 - Intro to DC and AC Circuits ( 4 Semester Hours)
A beginning course in electronics that provides the student with the fundamentals needed in advanced electronics courses. Instruction is provided in the basic laws of direct and alternating current circuit theory and the operation of electronic devices and circuitry. Emphasis is placed upon the operation of electronic test equipment which is utilized in practical laboratory application. Prerequisite: MAT 074 with a grade of ""C"" or higher. Semester hour(s): 4 Lecture/Lab Hours: 3 lec, 2 lab/weekEET110 - Intro to Digital Electronics ( 4 Semester Hours)
A basic course in electronic logic circuitry. This course will introduce the student or experienced technician to digital logic circuits. Basic logic elements such as AND, OR, NAND and NOR gates will be introduced and characterized. Combinational logic circuits will be designed and analyzed in the lab. Semester hour(s): 4 Lecture/Lab Hours: 3 lec, 2 lab/weekEET207 - Advanced Circuits ( 3 Semester Hours)
An advanced course in circuit analysis and troubleshooting. This course will build on the fundamentals from EET 107. Circuit analysis and the use of schematics and test equipment will be examined from a technician's point of view. Prerequisite: EET 107 with a grade of ""C"" or higher. Semester hour(s): 3 Lecture/Lab Hours: 2 lec, 2 lab/weekEET245 - Programmable Controllers ( 3 Semester Hours)
This course will cover both PLC programming and using the PLC as a troubleshooting device. Relay-type instructions, timer and counter operations, math and data compare instructions will be discussed. The course will also cover forcing commands as well as an introduction to the RSLogix 500 programming software. The primary PLCs used in this class will be Allen Bradley/SLC 500 series. More advanced programming instructions will be covered such as sequencers and shift registers and jump instructions. The course will use the RSLogix 500 programming software as the primary programming software. Prerequisite: EET 110 with a grade of ""C"" or higher. Semester hour(s): 3 Lecture/Lab Hours: 2 lec, 2 lab/weekEET252 - Industrial Electronics ( 3 Semester Hours)
A study of industrial control systems based on an input-decision-output analysis. Special concern is taken in areas where small control signals must be amplified to meet high power output requirements. Some of the topics covered will include photoelectric inputs, reduced voltage starting SCR applications, thermo electronics, hall effect sensors, solid-state relays and electronic motor control. Prerequisite: EET 107 or ELT 120 Semester hour(s): 3 Lecture/Lab Hours: 2 lec, 2 lab/weekEET261 - Adv Programmable Controllers ( 3 Semester Hours)
This is an advanced course in programmable controllers. The course will be applicable to all modern industrial controllers. The course will cover PLC programming, including advanced programming instructions, networking instructions and applications. Products and processes used to collect information to document and analyze productivity through the use of accurate, versatile, and reliable electronic equipment that range from simple recorders to computer systems will be introduced. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems and interfacing techniques using Remote Terminal Units (RTU) or other commercial modules will be covered. The use of robotics will be introduced. Prerequisite: EET 245 with a grade of ""C"" or higher. Semester hour(s): 3 Lecture/Lab Hours: 2 lec, 2 lab/week
