6 courses with the subject TECH, 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.
TECH 1000Intro to Technical Mathematics3
This first course in technical mathematics is intended for students with minimal mathematics background who wish to prepare for further study in technical areas. Topics include algebra, geometry, measurements, proportions, and applied trigonometry. The use of the hand-held calculator is emphasized throughout the course.
MATH 0900 (C or better), or ACT Math score of 16 or higher, or ALEKS score of 14 or higher.
TECH 1550General Metallurgy3
This course introduces the student to the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of metals and the methods by which these properties can be changed by alloying, heat treating, and mechanical deformation.
This course will investigate several areas of occupational safety and industrial hygiene. Personal Safety, including basic protection, safety hazards, safety equipment, lifting, and good housekeeping; Fire Safety, including fire chemistry, types of fire, portable and built-in extinguisher systems; Respiratory Protection, including respiratory hazards, air purifying respirators and use and care of apparatus; Hazardous Substances including common industrial hazards such as corrosive, flammable, explosive, toxic, radiological and biological hazards.
Nuclear technicians are required to understand the specifics behind the type of fuel, reactor, and energy conversions specific to a nuclear plant. This safety course covers basic principles of sodium-cooled fast reactors, solid state fuel (HALEU) radioactivity and reactor basics, energy conversion equipment and processes, controls, and containment within very high-temperature environments, radiation detection instruments and mitigation plans, USNRC/ IEC/ IAEA approved protocols, and site-specific plans developed by industry partners.
This course presents students with fundamental knowledge relative to reading and interpreting technical symbols used in industrial schematics. Specific topics addressed in this course are electrical, piping, and fluid power systems, as well as the interpretation of basic assembly drawings.
TECH 1681Reading Technical Schematics for Industry1
This course presents students with fundamental knowledge relative to reading and interpreting technical symbols used in industrial schematics. This course concentrated on fluid power and electrical schematics.
