12 courses with the subject ELME, 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.
ELME 104Mechanical Systems I4
This course introduces the principles and applications of the most commonly found mechanical drive and fluid power components in an industrial manufacturing environment. Topics include mechanical power transmission devices, hydraulics, and pneumatics through a fundamental level along with related construction and troubleshooting techniques. All course material is supplemented with practical, hands- on exposure to the items described.
This course provides students with an overview of the various types of manufacturing that take place in the discrete, hybrid, and continuous sectors and of the jobs that must be performed within manufacturing. The course provides an introduction to the techniques and resources that manufacturers employ to improve operations, preparing students for independent investigating and life-long learning. It provides basic knowledge and skills with regard to print/ schematic reading, CAD drawing, measurement, and quality assurance. At least one plant tour is included as part of this course to provide firsthand validation of the topics covered.
This course covers the principles and application of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electricity, industrial sequential control, and electrical controls construction as found in a typical manufacturing environment. Topics include AC and DC circuit analysis and measurement in resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits; AC fixed-speed motor contro control transformers, relays, timers, and counters; mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic input and output devices; sequencing and logic functions; introduction to component and systems troubleshooting; electrical wiring practices; conduit and raceways; and requirements for conductors, disconnects, and raceways as specified by the National Electric Code (NEC). All course material is supplemented with practical hands-on exposure to the items described.
This course covers the principles and application of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) as found in a typical manufacturing environment. Topics include understanding the physical components that make up a PLC, basic PLC programming, and understanding the components that make up input/output, including AC/DC discrete input modules and analog input and output modules; how these modules connect to the PLC and to output devices such as motor controls, variable frequency drives, valves, and other types of machine controls.
This course covers the principles and applications of the most commonly found mechanical drive and fluid power components in an industrial manufacturing environment. Topics include mechanical power transmission devices and pneumatics and hydraulics through an intermediate level along with related construction and troubleshooting techniques. All course material is supplemented with practical, hands-on exposure to the items described.
This course covers the principles, application, troubleshooting, and maintenance of rotating electrical motors and electronic motor drives as used in industry. Topics include various types of single- and three-phase motors, various types of DC motors, reduced voltage starting, braking, DC electronic drives and AC variable frequency drives. The course builds upon the principles and applications covered in ELME 107.
This course covers the principles and applications of the most commonly found mechanical drive and fluid power components in an industrial manufacturing environment. Topics include mechanical power transmission devices, pneumatics, and l; hydraulics through at an advanced level along with related construction and troubleshooting techniques. All course material is supplemented with practical hands-on exposure to the items described.
This course covers the principles and application of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) featuring the IEC 61131-3 programming standard. Topics include how to install PLCs; how to configure modules; how to wire input and output modules, including temperature-sensing devices (thermocouples and resistive temperature detectors) and analog devices featuring 0– 10 volts and 4–20 mA standards. The course also includes programming the built-in human- machine interface (HMI) which allows program control and status update through a built-in touch screen. Page 193 of 287
ELME 214Mechatronics Seminar and Advanced Project4
This course provides a capstone experience for the associate of applied science degree in Electro-Mechanical Technology by requiring that students—with a teammate(s)—apply skills and knowledge from each of the program areas to an independent mechatronics project. Students develop and implement a project plan and budget approved by the instructor that demonstrates the ability to integrate the skills and knowledge obtained over the previous three semesters of study. Students work with actual industrial equipment and machinery in a realistic application. This course broadens students’ knowledge with respect to technology suppliers, equipment, and applications. Students should begin planning for this course during the semester prior to the semester in which the course is completed.
This course provides students with a background in the programming and application of industrial robots and general purpose synchronized multi- axis motion control. Expanding upon previously-learned concepts, this course examines the combination of multiple axes of motion to perform useful functions such as creating a flexible manufacturing system utilizing robots and broadens the knowledge of different programming languages to initiate and control motion sequences. Students learn how to implement electronically many of the simple machines introduced in previous courses such as gear drives, belt drives, line shafts, and cams.
