4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OLST 102 - Overhead Line/Substation Technology II. This course provides the knowledge and skill to identify, install and maintain primary underground residential distribution (URD) equipment; knowledge pertaining to the different styles of subtransmission support structures, with instruction on the techniques and proper use of hot-line tools to work sub-transmission and distribution structures when laying out conductors and changing various insulators, knowledge and skill to safely perform rubber gloving assignments using the insulate and isolate techniques. Various methods of troubleshooting URD primary and secondary circuits are discussed and demonstrated. Students will perform various tasks, while working on an energized three-phase circuit under controlled conditions. Applicable safety requirements will be taught and stressed throughout the course instruction.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OLST 201 - Overhead Line/Substation Technology III. This course provides the skills to safely climb transmission support towers and H-structures to achieve the qualified status. Upon qualification, the student will obtain basic skills to perform intermediate tasks while aloft on these pertinent structures. The student will gain an understanding of substation equipment and one-line drawing. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing energized equipment, minimum approach distances, and substation safety. At the conclusion of the course, the student will be qualified to enter a substation. Included in this course of instruction are: lockout/tagout, powered industrial truck certification(s), and a comprehensive skills review.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic principles of ophthalmic lenses. Topics include a history of development, definition of terminology, the geometry of lens designs, physical characteristics of lens materials, optical characteristics, and mathematical formulas used in lens computation. If the student is registered with the State Board as an apprentice, Ophthalmic Materials I must be successfully completed to be eligible for the State Board Qualifying Technician Exam.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 100 - Ophthalmic Material I Lecture. This course builds upon the basic principles of prerequisite courses needed to understand ophthalmic lens development. Topics include prism, gross anatomy and physiology of the eye, history and function of bifocals and trifocals, bicentric grinding, vertex distance compensation, sagitta, surfacing, and mathematical formulas used in lens computation. The course terminates in complete study of ophthalmic lens design. If the student is registered with the State Board as an apprentice, Ophthalmic Materials II must be completed to be eligible for the State Board Qualifying Technician Exam.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover computations and theories concerning basic lens formulas;preparation of prescription lab orders; operation of the lensometer/vertometer and the neutralization process;and operation of lens fabrication equipment including the automatic lens edger, blocking, marking and hand level edgers. Fabrication of eyeglass prescriptions involving spherical and compound lenses in plastic and metal frames;interpretation, computation and creation of prismatic prescriptions through decentration will also be addressed. The course will include lecture time on appropriate optical principles. Students will be required to supply their own tools. If the student is registered with the State Board as an apprentice, Ophthalmic Materials I must be successfully completed to be eligible for the State Board Qualifying Technician Exam.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 105 - Ophthalmic Materials I Lab. A Continuation of Ophthalmic Materials I Laboratory. Emphasis will be on the finishing aspects of prescription eyewear. Topics include neutralization, mark-up, layout, edging, insertion, and final inspection. Additional topics include frame and instrument repairs, rimless mountings and faceting. The student will be expected to learn the complete fabrication of prescription eyewear utilizing the instrumentation of the optical profession. The course will also include lecture on appropriate optical principles. Students will be required to supply their own tools. If the student is registered with the State Board as an apprentice, Ophthalmic Materials II must be successfully completed to be eligible for the State Board Qualifying Technician Exam.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 101 - Ophthalmic Materials II Lecture. Ethics, practices, and responsibilities of the Ophthalmic Dispenser. Includes determination of patient's needs, prescription analysis and interpretation of single vision, multifocal, and prism lenses, considerations in making glasses for occupational use, lens aberrations, the effect of tilt, and tinted lenses and their uses.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 105 - Ophthalmic Dispensing I Lecture. A continuation of Ophthalmic Dispensing I Lecture. A further study of prescription analysis including visual problems of the aphakie patient, crossed cylinders, consideration of illumination and its effect on visual performance, the psychology of dispensing, the near addition, and iseikonic lens design.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 106 - Ophthalmic Materials II Lab. This lab covers the theory and application of ocular measurements and the use of the corneal reflection pupilometer and other instruments. Attention is also given to frame materials and parts; cosmetic and anatomical consideration of the fitting triangle; fitting and adjustment techniques for various frames and mountings; neutralization and verifiction of opthalmic prescriptions in single vision and bifocals through use of the vertometer/lensometer; use and application of various hand tools, pliers and gauges, and minor frame and temple repairs. A portion of the student's laboratory time will be spent with direct patient contact in the on-campus optical clinic. (Students will be required to supply their own toools and instruments.)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: OPTH 116 - Ophthalmic Dispensing I Lab. A continuation of Ophthalmic Dispensing Lab I. Topics include neutralization and verification of bifocal, trifocal and progressive multifocal prescriptions; usage and theory of the vision screen unit; discussion of therapeutic appliances; discussion of the visual need of the aphakic and subnormal acuity patient; occupational and vocational frame and lens designing; interpretation of the ophthalmic patient's written prescription and the determination of their visual needs. The fitting, adjusting and measuring of ophthalmic frames and mounting, as well as the ethics, laws and regulations of the profession of opticianry will be discussed. Students will be expected to demonstrate these skills through direct patient contact in the oncampus optical clinic. Aportion of the students laboratory time will be spent meeting patient needs in the optical clinic. (Students will be required to supply their own tools and instruments.)
