Chose one course for a minimum of 3 units from the list below:

As IoT connects the world, explore its benefits, applications and challenges. Architecture, programming, application and troubleshooting of single-chip microcontroller electronic systems as well as complex programmable logic device (CPLD) electronic systems. Digital building blocks, number systems, Includes programming in VHDL. Digital building blocks, number systems, Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic, integrated logic families, digital circuit measurement techniques and instrumentation, troubleshooting techniques.

Robots are used in many aspects of manufacturing from loading, unloading, sorting, pick-and-place, assembly, dispensing, painting, machining, welding, cutting, casting, molding, finishing, cleaning, inspection, quality control and harvesting. Our ESYS 69/269 course introduces our students to the fundamental concepts of robot safety, operation, programming and maintenance of industrial robots by using the FANUC LRMate 200iC Robots with their R-30iB Mate Plus Controllers. The control of the 6 robot axes is facilitated via the FANUC MH iPendant with Touch Screens. Programming of the robot is also learned on the same FANUC teach iPendants. This course provides the foundation for understanding how robots can enhance functionality, increase productivity, and improve efficiency in manufacturing, food/beverage packaging, factories, health care, mining and agriculture.

Prototype development includes sheet metal, printed circuit board layout and fabrication, connection and soldering techniques, use of hand tools, and machines in electronic fabrication. Use of computer software tools as applied to electronic fabrication. ESYS 51 only offered in the summer.

Introduction to more advanced electrical/electronics circuits. Students learn the use of BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), FETs (field effect transistors), Op-Amps (integrated circuit operational amplifiers) in building electronic circuits such as power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, and filters. Topics include biasing of amplifiers to explain how transistors are turned on; configurations of amplifiers which explain how the amps differ with current and voltage gain and classes of amplifiers which explain efficiencies of the amplifiers. Voltage regulation, active filters, oscillators, timers and modulation are also part of course content.

Programmable logic control systems; function, interrelationship, and troubleshooting of systems components. PLC input/output systems and requirements. Ladder logic and SCADA programming using basic I/O instructions, logic instructions, timers, counters, and comparison functions.

PE course recommended

This course applies the principles of ethical and effective communication to the creation of letters, memos, emails, and written and oral reports for a variety of business situations. The course emphasizes planning, organizing, composing, and revising business documents using word processing software for written documents and presentation-graphics software to create and deliver professional-level oral reports. This course is designed for students who already have college-level writing skills.

Preparation of reports in business, industrial and technical fields, including explanations, instructions, argumentation and other kinds of writings, based on the demands of the occupations.
