This is a preparation and orientation course for the Electrical Technology Program. Students planning on enrolling in either the ELECT or CISCO series of classes must complete this class. Topics covered will include curriculum guide navigation, electrician trainee status, program completion certificates, program math requirements and substitutions, Associate Degree requirements, student safety and personal protective equipment, expectations of students in the program and examples of expected work product.
The course will consist of an introduction to the various software programs used in the electrical technology program. Students will develop all the components of a complete engineering technical report. The course will utilize computer applications to research and complete technical reports and documentation. Included are Computer Aided Design Software, Word, Excel, Visio, Constructor, and web-based communication and information research.
This course is designed for students enrolled in the Electrical Technology Program or Industry professionals coming back to complete continuing education units. This course covers the learning and application of mathematics and pre-algebra needed in the electrical industry. Faculty will utilize guided learning activities to help students to take meaningful measurements and apply mathematics and electrical formulas to solve problems. Students will learn how to apply topics such as arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, graphing, measurement, and pre-algebra to better understand how to solve electrical formulas.
This course prepares students to take the FCC Technician License exam for Amateur Radio Operators. Students will learn all the elements contained in the licensing exam as well as participate in example exams. This class will cover the latest test banks as directed by the FCC. Students will learn through lecture topics, computer aided material and hands-on examples.
This course is the first of two courses where students learn proper cable termination methods and practices while working under the industry standard IPC/WHMA-A-620. The IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard provides the electronics industry with the most current criteria for the performance and acceptance of cable and wire harness assemblies. Students are prepared for entry level jobs in the aerospace and industrial harness and wiring industries.
This course is the second of two courses where students learn cable harness and wire inspection methods per IPC/WHMA-A-620. Students will use their cable assemblies from ELECT 620A and are taught proper cable inspection methods and practices. The IPC/WHMA-A-620 provides the electronics industry with the most current criteria for the performance and acceptance of cable and wire harness assemblies. Students are prepared for entry level jobs in the aerospace and industrial harness and wiring industries.
This course provides hands-on experience covering basic electronics and electronic assembly. Electronic components are covered as well as soldering techniques and kit assembly. Students are introduced to schematic reading, basic circuit analysis as well. This class provides a pathway to additional classwork in electronics, RF communication and robotics.
This course provides hands-on experience that will introduce students to the fundamentals of Industrial Robotics as well as Underwater Robotics. This is a hands-on class and students will learn how to program Omron Industrial Robots and how to pilot underwater robots.
This course provides hands-on experience covering the connection and operation of a power generation system, including electrical connections, control systems and documentation. This covers the electrical half of a diesel or CNG electric power generation system.
This course provides hands-on experience troubleshooting motor generator based power generator systems covering possible faults and operational problems and proper methods of troubleshooting and repair. Test procedures, service schedules and general maintenance are covered.
