3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the student to the use and application of single chip microcontrollers in the design of instrumentation and embedded control systems. Students will program several MCUs including Microchip Technology's PIC family, Parallax's Basic Stamp, and Netmedia's Basic-X24 microcontrollers. Students will be provided a foundation for applying microcontrollers in diverse applications including home and/or factory automation, robotics, animatronics, and autonomous machines. Lecture ( 45.00)

4.00 Credits
No investigation of the modern industrial environment would be complete without the study of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and its associated programming language, Relay Ladder Logic (RLL). This course, designed to achieve these ends, will explore the history, theory, and operation of the PLC. It will include wiring the PLC to real world devices. It will cover those features common to all PLCs and briefly discuss those features offered on high-end machines. Both the capabilities and the limitations of the PLC will be discussed. The PLCs used will be the Allen- Bradley SLC-5/02 processors. The programming environment will be Windows using the RS Logix Programming Package. Lecture ( 45.00) Laboratory ( 45.00) Prerequisites: EET-101

3.00 Credits
This course, formerly entitled Industrial Controls Systems, is a continuation of CIM-211, PLC Programming. Students will use the RS Logix-500 software package, running under the Windows operating system to investigate the advanced functions of the ALlen-Bradley SLC-5/02 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This is chiefly a lab-oriented course. Preparatory lectures will accompany each lab assignment. Topics covered will include transitional bits, bit forcing, PLC networking and telephony, bit and data manipulation, shift registers, and analog I/O. Program control using master and zone control relays, sequencers, and subroutines will be investigated. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: CIM-211

4.00 Credits
This is an intensive, two-part course designed for CIM students. Part one of this course concentrates on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming for milling and turning centers using EIA standard RS274D programming format. Some of the major topics covered in this first portion of the course are basic CNC Operations, Cartesian Coordinates, Preparatory Functions, Miscellaneous Functions, Canned Cycles, RS232, DNC, MS-DOS, and Off-line programming. Part two of this course is devoted to Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Students will generate CNC programs for milling and turning centers using a PC-based CAM system. Qualified industrial experience will fulfill the prerequisite requirement. Lecture ( 45.00) Laboratory ( 45.00) Prerequisites: CIM-101

3.00 Credits
This is an intensive course designed for CIM students preparing for employment as CNC Programmers. This course concentrates on three-dimensional Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming for machining centers using a personal computer based Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. Some of the major topics covered in this course are standard 3D surface types and definitions, Post Processor theory, planar roughing of 3D surfaces, complex surfaces, and multiple surface machining. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: CIM-221

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for CIM and Manufacturing Engineering students. It combines hands-on experiments with lecture topics. Covered topics will include AC and DC power, AC and DC motors, open and closed loop control, and stepper motors. Induction and commutation will be covered. Photoelectric, capacitive, and inductive sensors will be discussed and used. Optoelectronics, pneumatics and solenoid valves, transformers, and motor name plate reading will be covered. Faraday's Laws will be investigated. SCR, Triac, Relay, and Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) speed control techniques are discussed. NPN and PNP transistors, current-limiting resistors, exercises are performed. Laboratory exercises will include computer control of stepper motors, PLC control of a DC motor, motor dismantling, sensor applications and identification, design and building of a photoelectric switch and lead screw pitch determination. Both mechanical and solid state relay labs will be conducted. Qualified industrial experience will fulfill the prerequisite requirement. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: EET-101

3.00 Credits
This course is the culmination of the entire CIM curriculum. It serves almost as a "final exam" on the curriculum because it requires the student to integrate the knowledge gained in the preceding courses in manufacturing, electronics, robotics, computers, CADD, PLC programming, and quality control. Students are divided into small work groups. Each group is assigned the task of manufacturing a part or a series of parts. The group designs, builds, programs, and operates a manufacturing cell to produce its "product". In addition, individual students also participate in the on-going full-scale manufacturing enterprise of the CIM Center. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: CIM-101, CIM-211, CIM-212, CIM-221 and CIM-222 Corequisites: CIM-231

3.00 Credits
This course is a hands-on introduction to microcomputers in which the student will become familiar with an operating system, word processing, spreadsheets, database applications, presentation software and the Internet. The course will focus on helping the student to logically plan the processes that are necessary to communicate with the computer to produce a desired result. During the semester, the student will get "hands-on" experience with the Windows XP Operating System, the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint), and a web browser to access the Internet/WWW. It is recommended that students who lack keyboarding skills acquire them by taking the one-credit course OST-110: Microcomputer Keyboarding. Lecture ( 45.00)

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students in Computer Information Systems, Office Systems Technology, business or related fields. Students will learn to use a popular spreadsheet package and learn to plan, build, test and document spreadsheets. Emphasis is placed on real life applications using a case study approach. Topics include formulas, charts, functions, creating and using macros, examining "what-if " alternatives, worksheet databases and integrating worksheet applications. Lecture ( 45.00) Prerequisites: CSC-101 or CIS-101
