4.00 Credits
This introductory design course is a study of manual and automatic, starters and controllers of ac and dc motors. The course will concentrate on three-phase induction motor starters and controllers with some study of dc motor starters and controllers. The induction motor coverage will include both full-voltage and reduced voltage techniques, with the emphasis on the reduced voltage methods. Line impedance, auto-transformer, wye-delta and part-winding starters will be included. The laboratory will consist of several projects in designing, testing and demonstrating various motor starters and controllers. The designs will require using Programmable Logic Controllers in the projects. The course will conclude with variable frequency drives.

4.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to alternative forms of energy generation, storage and delivery. The class will explore present day technologies using oil, coal and gas then move into emerging technologies such as solar, wind, waves, tidal, geothermal, etc. Storage technologies such as batteries and flywheels will also be addressed along with fuel cell delivery techniques. The course will end by exploring more futuristic possibilities such as space-based solar and high-altitude wind generation.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers basic AC/DC electric-machine drives for speed/position control. It presents an integrated discussion of electric machines, power electronics, and control systems. Computer simulations are used for understanding power-electronics based converters and the design of feedback controllers. Applications of electric drives can be found in electric transportation, robotics, process control, and energy conservation.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a study of feedback control systems theory including practical applications of compensation and PID concepts. Control system modeling, transient and steady state characteristics, stability and frequency response are analyzed. Compensation and controller design using Root locus methods are covered. The use of control system software, such as MATLAB, in the analysis and design of control systems is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the concept of discrete and digital signals and systems. Difference equations, Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs), Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs), Z-Transform techniques, IIR filter design, and FIR filter design are covered. An introduction to the architecture, assembly language and application examples of general and special purpose microprocessors such as the TMS 320 and DSP56000 families is included.
-
