3.00 Credits
This course is intended for the student who needs in-depth knowledge of the mathematics of electronics and electricity. It will review several areas that the student may be familiar with and move into advanced areas that are necessary for the understanding of electronics functions and analysis of complex circuits. The completion of this course will enable the student to move more quickly through future courses that require the use of complex math. Prerequisite: MAT* 095. (Formerly MF 133: Mathematics for Electricity and Electronics.)

3.00 Credits
This introductory course is required of all electronics and electro-mechanical maintenance majors and provides the student with the necessary overview of the science of electricity and electronics that is applied to the manufacturing process. Electricity and Electronics Fundamentals provides the student with a brief review of the electrical nature of matter, the flow of electricity through conductors and semiconductors that provides the basis for the electrical/electronic circuits and the laws and instruments for its measurements. The course will introduce the student to basic circuits (series, parallel, and series-parallel) and to advanced circuits (RL, RC, and RCL); to AC and DC motors; to transformers; to integrated circuits (IC's); to digital circuits (logic circuits); to personal computers (PC's) and microcontrollers. Prerequisite: MAT* 095. (Formerly MF 135.)

3.00 Credits
Circuit Theory is an introduction to direct current (DC) circuits. Circuit Theory will introduce the student to electrical/electronic components; the nature of electricity (voltage, current, and resistance); Ohm's Law of measurement; the concept of energy and power; types of circuits (series, parallel, and series-parallel); Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems of circuit simplification, and magnetism and electro-magnetism. Prerequisite: MAT* 095. (Formerly MF 137: Circuit Theory I.)

3.00 Credits
Digital circuitry is the foundation of computers and automated control equipment in our industries. Digital circuitry is the basis for many of our appliances, alarm systems and heating systems. Our newer automobiles utilize digital circuits and devices to make them safer and more energy efficient. Consequently, a basic understanding of the elemental nature, design, theory, and operation of digital circuits is a must for any electronics student. This course provides the basic foundation necessary for the understanding of digital logic. The student is introduced to the concepts of digital vs. analog wave forms, digital and other numbering systems, digital codes, and Boolean algebra. The student is then introduced to the various logic gates that are incorporated into all logic systems from that of a computer to a microprocessor in a household appliance. This course explores the combinational circuits, data control devices, sequential logic (flip-flop and counters) circuits and shift registers, and finishes with an interface with the world of analog. (Formerly offered for four credits.) Prerequisite: MFG* 133.

3.00 Credits
Circuit Theory II completes an introduction to the fundamental building block for all electrical and electronic devices: the circuit. Circuit Theory II completes the review of basic circuits by guiding the student through a thorough review of alternating current circuits including the RC, RL, and RLC circuits. The student will also be introduced to several electrical devices including capacitors, inductors, and transformers. (Formerly offered for four credits.) Prerequisite: MFG* 137.

3.00 Credits
Electronic circuits and devices are commonplace in the industrial manufacturing process; consequently, a complete understanding of control circuits and devices is necessary for anyone who intends to have a career in manufacturing control, maintenance, or engineering. Electronic Circuits & Devices provides an introduction to electronic materials, components, circuits, devices and their applications. The course will provide an overview of semiconductors, diodes, transistors (bi-polar, field-effect and unijunction), applications of SCR and Triac to circuits, and application of components to rectifiers, amplifiers, and relays. Prerequisites: MFG* 133, MFG* 137, MFG* 138, MFG* 139.

3.00 Credits
The flow of product in the manufacturing process can be as simple as an on/off motor control switch or as complex as a variable speed drive that incorporates a feedback system. Most large and small companies utilize the more technologically advanced systems, hence they incorporate one or more variable speed drive(s) in their production process. Electronic Variable Speed Drive Systems will introduce the student to AC and DC drive fundamentals, switching amplifier field current controllers, SCR armature voltage controllers, brushless DC motor controllers, chopper circuits, voltage inverters, and flux vector drives. Prerequisites: MFG* 133, MFG* 137, MFG* 138, MFG* 139, MFG* 143.
