14 courses with the subject AENT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Develop foundational skills in PLCs while introducing advanced topics and applications. Advanced applications include control algorithms, structured-text programming and network communications with a focus on system design and integration.
Use E-CAD software to design and layout electrical and electronic circuits for use in both discrete manufacturing and process control systems.
Introduction to the tools and processes used to manage complex engineering and technology projects. Utilize industry standard software to develop budgets, timelines and project goals.
Examine the theories, calculations and applications of various motors and controls for the purpose of controlling industrial machinery and processes.
Apply vector algebra and differentiation to forces in equilibrium as well as the effects of forces on the motion of objects.
Apply computer-based vision systems for automated inspection, data reporting and deep learning. Program and commission vision-based systems to inspect part features for the purpose of quality control and/or machine guidance.
Determine how industrial networks enable machines to communicate real-time data between sensors, machines and enterprises. Apply networking technology to the interface of controls and sensors using industry-standard network protocols.
Analyze Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and how they are used to display and control remote field devices for industrial processes. Topics include PC-based terminals, human machine interfaces (HMI), network communications and IEC 60870 standards.
Explore the operation, performance characteristics and maintenance of fluid power systems and components. Perform mathematical calculations for application of pumps, motors, valves and cylinders.
Examine OSHA machine guarding requirements as they pertain to hazard prevention.
Explore issues concerning the use of AGVs in the manufacturing industry, including material flow optimization, material handling and AGV risk factors.
The fundamentals of industrial automation identifies the overlap of several automation components. Programmable controllers, machine vision systems, CNC machines and industrial robots are interfaced. Focus is on the justification for automation and productivity calculations.
Apply first and second laws of thermodynamics to closed and open systems. Topics include one-dimensional conduction, convection and radiation.
Demonstrate overall content knowledge of the program outcomes through a capstone automation project. Conduct a final presentation of the project and explain how it applies to the engineering program outcomes, with a focus on justification for automation and productivity calculations.
