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. Prerequisite: Intro to Motor Controls ETDE 1101 - Safety Applications Students will learn OSHA regulations and practice safety procedures in the following areas: hazard recognition and control, materials handling, flammables, fire protection, electrical safety, machine guarding, confined spaces, personal protective equipment, accident investigation and reporting, lock out tag out, and general first aid. ETDE 1133 - Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Technology This course is 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 activities, study and research, and hands on applications so that the student has a clear understanding of the topics as well as the ability to manipulate appropriate tools, software, and equipment. ETDE 1273 - Electronic Control Devices and Motor Drives This course introduces the student to a wide range of electronic devices and industrial automatic controls. Emphasis is placed on motor speed/position control and programmable devices. Topics include specialized switches, sensors, stepper motors, stepper motor controllers, variable frequency drives, and control systems common to the industrial environment. Upon completion, the learner will be able to install, troubleshoot, and program variable frequency drives and stepper control systems. ETDE 1333 - Industrial Electrical Systems This course introduces the tools and materials used in electrical installations and the requirements of the National Electrical Code. Topics include: the NEC, electrical safety, electrical blueprint reading, lighting, over-current protection, conductors, branch circuits, transformer connections, conduits, and the installation of electrical distribution equipment. Upon completion, students should be able to properly install/troubleshoot conduit systems, electrical wiring, and electrical distributions equipment associated with basic electrical installations. ETDE 1373 - Digital Systems and Microcontrollers 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 how to research and use manufacturer specification sheets. Students learn computer communication systems, communication standards, and troubleshooting. Microprocessors, microcontrollers, and embedded systems are introduced. Students complete a course project using a microcontroller that demonstrates hardware control and software programming. ETDE 2092 - Maintenance Theory and Application The purpose of this training is to inject, at an early stage in training, that Maintenance is an important function that is critical to the business' success. Next, is to educate the student in an understanding of the typical categories that Maintenance organizations fall into and the importance of each. Student will learn the tools to critically examine each challenge and troubleshoot to conclusion. ETDE 2093 - Introduction to Networking This course focuses on the management and maintenance of computer hardware and operating system environments. Topics include: user administration, security, backup/recovery, and advanced systems performance evaluation and troubleshooting. Networking cable will also be covered and will include instruction on standards, types, construction and troubleshooting. ETDE 2113 - Introduction to PLCs 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 student should be able to install PLCs and create basic programs. ETDE 2143 - Process Management and Control This is an advanced course to electronic/pneumatic instrumentation devices commonly used in process measurement and control systems. Topics include electrical and mechanical transducers/transmitters used in the measurement and control of the following process variables: temperature, pressure, flow, level and position. Upon successful completion, the student should be able to design, install, maintain and calibrate process measurement and control systems. 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. GTGE 1111 - Cornerstone College Cornerstone serves as the foundation for students to build upon during their time at OSU Institute of Technology and is delivered through ones home department. Students must document, defend, or demonstrate the ability to perform tasks required to meet the objectives of each unit including e-mail proficiency, library research, resource tools, learning styles and study strategies, career exploration, and time and money management. |
