ELT 120Success in Technology Programs1
This course is designed to help students to be more successful in the Electrical Technology program. The first way is to encourage and excite students about the options available after earning an AAS degree by mak- ing connections with employers and other schools. The second way is to promote working relationships and group study, as our grads have pointed out helps them in the workplace. Additionally, we focus on some ba- sic computer skills and file manipulation, so students are prepared with the tools to be successful in future courses.
The first course offered in both the Electrical and Computer Technology curriculums. The course inves- tigates the fundamental concepts of voltage, current, and power, as applied to both DC and AC circuits, and introduces superposition and Thevenin’s Theorem. The course investigates the nature of resistance, in- ductance, capacitance, magnetism, and electromag- netism. The course also develops competencies in electronic tests, measurement methods, and trouble- shooting techniques.
A continuation of ELT 125, where transient circuits con- taining inductors, capacitors, and resistors are studied. Complex numbers are applied to AC circuit analysis. The course studies concepts of power factor, power factor correction, and maximum power transfer. It uses computer simulation, using software to model circuits and understand circuit transient response and to measure the effects of component tolerance variation and frequency change. Mesh and nodal analysis and Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems are applied to DC circuits. It presents many laboratory investigations into resonant circuits and basic filter circuits. Prerequisite: ELT 125 or permission of Instructor.
Robotics I 2-3-3 Students study the theory and operation of devices and systems that are used in industrial controls, in- cluding fundamentals and applications of automation and robotics. Students become familiar with and are 149 able to troubleshoot and repair systems that contain devices such as photoelectric sensors, inductive and capacitive proximity sensors, timing circuits, relays, pneumatic and hydraulic solenoids, and basic controls. Students will understand and work with systems incor- porating instrumentation, pneumatics, and hydraulics.
The course introduces Boolean logic and the devices that are necessary to produce digital computing cir- cuitry. This course covers such fundamentals as AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and NOR logic through more com- plex devices, such as flip-flops and one‑shots. Digital circuits studied include ALUs, counters, shift registers, and state machines. The course uses analytical tech- niques and software to design efficient combinational and sequential circuits and places strong emphasis on design skills. Standard logic and FPGAs are used to construct circuitry.
An introduction to the theory, design and application of the circuits used in the electronics field. Specific areas of study include diodes, rectifiers, filters, regulators, FET and BJT transistor characteristics, transistor bias, small and large signal amplifiers. Prerequisite: ELT 125 or permission of Instructor.
The course delves deeper into the material developed in ELT 229 and investigates additional circuit concepts. It studies the high and low frequency response of am- plifiers, using Bode diagrams. Other topics include op amp theory and use, feedback, oscillators, linear and switching circuits. In addition, waveform analysis using the frequency domain is introduced. Prerequisite: ELT 229 or permission of Instructor.
Robotics II 2-3-3 Students build on ELT131’s study of sensors and ac- tuators by studying the theory, programming, and op- eration of devices and systems that are used in indus- trial controls, including closed loop control, PID control, PLC’s using ladder logic, robotics, HMI’s, and SCADA
Circuits 2-2-3 This course introduces nanotechnology concepts and characteristics of structures at the nanoscale. The course describes the fabrication process that is involved in producing integrated circuits and semiconductor de- vices. Various analytical instruments, such as scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and atomic force micro- scopes (AFM), are used to analyze micro- and nano- sized structures. Students are introduced to the steps in the design, fabrication, and testing of integrated circuits and will become familiar with the technologies used in silicon wafer manufacturing. Students will follow proper cleanroom protocols as they work in a cleanroom envi- ronment. Prerequisite: ELT 229 or permission of Instruc- tor.
The course introduces the theory governing electronic communication elements and discusses the various systems used to accomplish communication tasks. Theories covered include radio wave propagation, an- tennas, transmission lines, frequency and time divi- sion multiplexing, and modulation techniques. Systems studied include AM, FM, telephone, Ethernet and data communications. Prerequisite: ELT 125 or permission of Instructor.
This course provides an understanding of microcon- troller computer architecture. Students learn the hard- ware and programming details of a microcontroller sys- tem, using industry recognized development systems. Topics include microcontroller system organization, reg- isters, memory, addressing, ‘C’ language programming, 150 interrupts and interfacing. Additional topics include memory technologies, memory system interfacing and programmable logic devices (PLDs). Prerequisite: ELT 132 or permission of Instructor.
