13 courses with the subject EWA, 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.
EWA 168PROCESS CONTROL FOR APPRENTICESHIP
In this extensive course, apprentices study and apply the fundamental principles of industrial automation. Specifically, apprentices wire, configure and troubleshoot a variety of level, flow, and chemical feed control circuits utilizing a variety of electronic sensors, programmable logic and analog controllers, and final control elements, such as valves and pumps. (12 Lecture Hours – 60 Lab Hours)
Apprentices study and apply the fundamental principles of electricity as they wire and troubleshoot single-phase and three-phase power and control circuits containing components such as control relays, timers, variable speed drives, and pressure, float, and proximity switches. (5 Lecture Hours – 49 Lab Hours)
EWA 193PROACTIVE OPERATIONS EWA-241– PUMPS AND MOTORS
Proactive Operations examines the keys to meeting the This course thoroughly examines pump types and applications constantly changing technical, regulatory, and customer service utilized in the water/wastewater industry. The apprentice also challenges that characterize the water/wastewater treatment studies the motors that serve as the primary prime movers for these industry. Topics include problem prevention, operational pumps and the control logic and devices that control the motors. (8 decision-making, and process optimization at water and Lecture Hours – 46 Lab Hours) wastewater treatment and pumping facilities. Training exercises demonstrate and emphasize the skills and mindset required for EWA-194– DISINFECTION PROCESSES proactive operators.

In the Mechanical Power course, apprentices study and apply fundamental mechanical power principles for belt, chain, and gear-driven power systems, with emphasis on the inverse relationship between rotational speed and torque. (4 Lecture Hours – 26 Lab Hours)
A pilot plant containing pumps, mixers, basins, and related equipment is utilized to help apprentices interpret process performance indicators and optimize treatment processes. Apprentices study specific water treatment processes, such as coagulation, taste and odor control, and corrosion control, that transform surface and ground raw water into potable water. (10 Lecture Hours – 11 Lab Hours)
A pilot plant containing pumps, mixers, basins, an air compressor, and related equipment is utilized to build apprentices' ability to interpret process performance indicators and optimize wastewater treatment processes.. Apprentices study specific wastewater treatment processes such as activated sludge, trickling filters, rotating biological contactors, sequential batch reactors, and specialized ponds and lagoons utilized to remove microscopic pathogens, chemical contaminants, and disagreeable physical constituents from wastewater flows, rendering such flows suitable to discharge into streams, rivers, lakes, or reservoirs. (10 Lecture Hours – 11
EWA 220WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS: OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
Apprentices study the design and operation of potable water distribution systems. Specific topics include installing, preventative maintenance, and repairing system piping, valves, fire hydrants, tanks, and other components. (9 Lecture Hours – 0 Lab Hours)
This course thoroughly examines pump types and applications utilized in the water/wastewater industry. The apprentice also studies the motors that serve as the primary prime movers for these pumps and the control logic and devices that control the motors. (8 Lecture Hours – 46 Lab Hours)
