Industrial Engineering Technology

This course provides an introduction to direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical theory. Topics include atomic theory, magnetism, properties of conductors and insulators, and characteristics of series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits. Inductors and capacitors are introduced and their effects on DC and AC circuits are examined. Students are prepared to analyze complex circuits, solve for unknown circuit variables and use basic electronic test equipment. This course also provides hands on laboratory exercises to analyze, construct, test, and troubleshoot electrical circuits. Emphasis is placed on the use of a scientific calculator, the operation of common test equipment, and the physical wiring of electrical circuits.This course is also taught as INT 114

This course is a study of the construction, operating characteristics, and installation of different motor control circuits and devices. Emphasis is placed on the control of three phase AC motors. This course covers the use of motor control symbols, magnetic motor starters, running overload protection, push button stations, multiple control stations, two wire control, three wire control, jogging control, sequence control, and ladder diagrams of motor control circuits.Upon completion, students should be able to understand the operation of motor starters, overload protection, interpret ladder diagrams using push button stations and understand complex motor control diagrams.

This course is provided instruction in topics ranging from basic physical concepts of machines to component operation and its typical system applications. Included are hydraulic valves, actuators, pumps, motors and their connection in transmission of energy through fluid power systems.

This course provides an introduction to programmable logic controllers.  Emphasis is placed on, but not limited to, the following:  PLC hardware and software, numbering systems, installation, and programming.  Upon completion, students must demonstrate their ability by developing, loading, debugging, and optimizing PLC programs.

This course includes the advanced principals of PLC's including hardware, programming, and troubleshooting. Emphasis is placed on developing advanced working programs, and troubleshooting hardware and software communication problems. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate their ability in developing programs and troubleshooting the system.
