ET 1003Introduction to Electronics3
This is an introductory-level course in electronics. The course topics include Ohm’s law, circuit configuration, typical test equipment, electrical and electronic components, and some troubleshooting. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 3 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites ET 1013 or permission of the instructor.
This is the first electronics course for AAS programs in Industrial Electronics and Biomedical Electronics. Course topics include Ohm’s Law, resistive, capacitive and inductive circuits, transformers, and passive filters. Also covered are Kirchhoff’s laws, network theorems, troubleshooting, and test equipment use. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 6 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites TECH 1013 Technical Math or MAT 1013 Careers Math or higher
This course is an introduction to the basic structure and functioning of the human body. It provides a survey of anatomy and physiology for students in the non-medical fields focusing on the terminology and structures as related to modern electronic monitoring systems and devices specifically for BMET. Lecture 3 hours per week.
ET 1053Introduction to Robotics and Industrial Processes3
This course is an introduction to industrial processes and equipment. Students will receive exposure to industrial practices through project-based curriculum. Projects will be developed and driven based on local industry demand. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 3 hours per week.
This course provides an opportunity for students to earn credit toward the Associate of Applied Science, Automation and Systems Integration degree. Generally credit will be granted based on 30-40 hours of supervised work experience for each credit hour. Arrangements with employers offering internship opportunities will be documented using a North Arkansas College Cooperative Internship form. This is a variable credit course which can be taken for 1-3 credit hours and may be repeated for credit up to three times for a maximum of 3 credit hours. Internship opportunities may be in either industrial or medical settings to allow for Biomedical experience in addition to Industrial experience. Three credit hours will be granted after 120 clock hours of supervised work experience.

The course covers the basics of embedded systems programming utilizing C programming language. The emphasis will be on using C language to program an embedded microcontroller unit (MCU) to control various hardware peripherals. The details of an MCU will be discussed detailing the basic components that compose an MCU such as the processor core, memory, and peripherals. Common programming techniques will be used to introduce the student to program flow, operators, functions and data types. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 3 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites ET 2014
This course provides hands-on experience in the servicing of electronic equipment. Students will use repair shop procedures to diagnose, troubleshoot and repair basic equipment. Students perform shop maintenance paperwork, acquisition of parts, customer relations, and proper use of technical resource materials. Laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course surveys many types of sensors and instrumentation used in biomedical and industrial applications. Students will learn advanced electronic troubleshooting techniques and gain experience with test equipment. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course matches measurable physiological events of the human body with appropriate transducers and instrumentation. Theory and operation of the principle classes of biomedical instrumentation and monitoring equipment are examined. Laboratory exercises will focus on principles of medical instrumentation and will be closely integrated with clinical experience. Lecture 3 hours per week.
This course is an applied programming course for robotic applications. Study includes servo systems, machine vision systems, computer hierarchical control, programming, robotic principles, sensors, interfacing, and automation. Emphasis is on the FANUC Industrial robots and the simulation software for them. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 6 hours per week.
This course is a study of the architecture, application, programming, and interfacing of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It includes programming in Relay Ladder Logic with a strong foundation in Allen-Bradley RSLogic 500. Students will design and write programs to control industrial equipment in the lab. The course concludes with an introduction to the RSLogic 5000 and demonstration of its advanced capabilities. Lecture 2 hours and laboratory 6 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites ET 1003 HVAC 1112 or higher
