This course focuses on basic power circuits and machines. Topics include power distribution systems, DC and AC motors, power control circuits, transducers, and industrial process control.
The student will gain knowledge and skills needed to produce drawings and understand basic drafting theory. Topics developed on the board will include sketching, lettering, instruments, scaling, applied geometry, orthographic projection, dimensioning, applied technical mathematical relations, primary auxiliary views, sections, threads, and weld symbols.
This is a systems oriented course designed to introduce students to the concepts, techniques, and applications of PC-based computer aided drafting. It is the intent of the course to provide students with competencies that will allow them to use the system to create drawing files and down load files for hard copies. Command structure, coordinate systems, text dimensions, and plotting will be covered.
An introduction to basic concepts and terminology of electronics for the non-electronics major. Topics start with electricity and continue through everyday commercial and home applications.
This course is a survey course designed to familiarize students with the educational requirements, talents, and responsibilities for careers related to industrial and engineering technology. The content of this course should provide the framework for materials to be presented in future math, science, industrial, and engineering technology courses.
A study in the use of equipment and procedures used in wood construction. Areas of concentration will be wood and related materials, joint design, adhesives, fasteners, hand tools, machine tools, setup and procedures, and safety. Emphasis will be on dedicated objectives with a final project.
A course designed to familiarize the student with proper safety practices and procedures. Course content will include protective clothing, handling of hazardous materials, OSHA regulations, workman’s compensation, and first aid. Also, safe practices in using hand and power tools, scaffolds and ladders, chains and cables, compressed gasses, proper storage of tools and chemicals, and handling of hazardous waste will also be addressed.
This course provides a study of contemporary principles and practices used in the construction industry with emphasis on the techniques used for interior and exterior building construction. Civil construction is also covered. Activities may include construction of a scale model or a community construction project
