  • 2.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: RREL 285 and approval of the railroad training director and the JCCC program assistant dean This course is designed to provide an introduction to advanced microcomputer concepts and applications. This course is a continuation of topics introduced in the microprocessor course, with specific applications in general-purpose microcomputers (PCs) and dedicated microprocessor-based control systems. Included are hardware and software training in operating systems, peripherals, monitors, processors, storage media, maintenance, diagnostics and troubleshooting. Analog and digital data acquisition and processing, as well as voice digitization and playback, will be demonstrated. Presentations and labs will include incorporation of these functions into a PC, Harmon HLC and the Servo 9000 hot box detector. 1 hr. lecture, 2 hrs. lab/wk.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Approval of the BNSF manager of track and roadway maintenance training and the JCCC program assistant dean Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to cut and weld using oxyfuel (OFC) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). OFC will cover straight-line cutting, beveling, piercing and gouging. The SMAW portion will cover flat position and will be limited to fillet welds. The student should be able to discuss electrical safety in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), handle welding cables properly, understand eye hazards, list safe clothing requirements and discuss environmental safety. This knowledge will be evidenced by achieving the specified score on the unit test. 2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: RRIT 122 or approval of the BNSF manager of engineering and maintenance training and the JCCC program assistant dean Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to properly use oxy-fuel cutting (OFC), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and air carbon arc cutting (CAC-A) equipment. The SMAW portion of the course will concentrate on 1G and 2F welds with bend tests being performed on selected weldments. 1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk. Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $180 to $400.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Approval of the BNSF training director and the JCCC program assistant dean Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to identify various welding processes used by the railroad and other industries. Standard shop and maintenance welding processes will be taught and demonstrated. Welds will be tested and inspected according to industry standards. 1 hr. lecture, 1.5 hrs. lab/wk.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Approval of the BNSF manager of engineering and maintenance training and the JCCC program assistant dean Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to produce in a safe manner high-quality, sound thermite welds on standard rail and mismatched rail. This course is intended for people who are employed in the railroad industry. It will include specific in-depth industrial training. Students will be required to make various rail alignments and to grind various new and worn rails. 1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk.
