Lecture 661.50 Lab 613.5
Program Description:
The Electrical, Electronics, & Industrial Technology program will provide students with foundational knowledge and training in electrical fundamentals, a multitude of electronic systems, and industrial/manufacturing equipment and technology. On the electrical side, students will gain skills and knowledge in AC/DC theory, residential/commercial electrical wiring principles, power distribution, motor controls, and troubleshooting techniques for circuits that power electrical components used in multiple applications.
From an electronics perspective, the program introduces students to electronic systems ranging from intrusion detection, video surveillance, fire alarm, and wireless & fiber optics technology, along with the computers, internet, cabling, and networking modules that control them. Our electronics curriculum also provides the knowledge and skills to operate and troubleshoot programmable logic controllers, instrumentation, and industrial controllers. Finally, students will learn about industrial technologies ranging from hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics, and other mechanical systems.
Objectives:
Upon successfully completing the program, students will learn how to use electrical meters and other diagnostic tools and techniques to aid them in systematically diagnosing, troubleshooting, and repairing various low and high-voltage electrical circuits and components used in various industries. Students will learn how to diagnose and repair mechanical systems such as motors, linkages, pneumatics, and hydraulic systems.
