    Fall This course forms the introductory component of a two- semester series of courses that provide industrial electronics and industrial instrumentation for Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. This course together with its associated laboratory course will provide the student electrician and others employed in the electrical industry with instruction in the basic theory, construction and testing techniques of electronic circuitry. It provides the student with a systemof progressing from the study of individual components to their application in practical circuitry. The instruction permits the students to progress from the simple to the complex at a rate commensurate with his/her ability and industrial experience. This will give the student the opportunity to study and evaluate the operation of industrial electronic components and their characteristics in preparation for further study in industrial instrumentation. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Prerequisites: ECMN 102, Alternating Current Theory andMATH 106, Applied TechnicalMath II. Corequisite: ECMN 215, Industrial Power Electronics Laboratory.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Spring This course is a continuation of ECMN 205 and is designed to expand a student's knowledge of manufacturing automation and production systems and their associated controls. These complex automation systems use a variety of electrical and electronic systems to control processes and roof design, aesthetics, wind loading, equipment support, labeling of equipment and components, methods and procedures for visual system checks, open circuit voltage testing, short circuit tests, system specific tests, calculating efficiency factors, battery maintenance, various test equipment, safety concerning testing of equipment components and batteries, system start up and shut down, and emergency operations. Prerequisite: ECMN 210, Photovoltaic Systems Theory and Design.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Fall This course is designed to instruct the student in the theory and design of Photovoltaic systems and their practical installation and operation. The course includes semi-conductor operational theory, properties of silicon and semiconductor material, solar cell manufacturing and companies involved, history of solar power and its uses, photovoltaic systems safety, site assessments, system design, and adapting mechanical and electrical design. Layout skills are developed and the National Electrical Code is examined. Prerequisite: ECMN 102, Alternating Current Theory or ECMN 153, Alternating Current Theory II: Part I and ECMN 154, Alternating Current Theory II: Part II or permission of Department chair.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Spring This course is designed to instruct the student in the installation and maintenance of Photovoltaic systems. The course includes the installation of components and sub- systems on site, concerns with owners, utilities, and permit agencies, completion of lists of electrical components and material, array alignment based on location, building
  • 1.00 Credits

    Fall Lab fee will be required. The students learn how to connect, test and operate transformers, motors, generators, and basic control element. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Corequisite: ECMN 203, Transformers and Motors.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Spring Lab fee will be required. Magnetic and electronic controls are connected, operated, tested, adjusted and analyzed. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Corequisite: ECMN 204, Industrial Motor Control Theory.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Fall Lab fee will be required. This laboratory course is complimentary to course ECMN 205, Industrial Power Electronics. The series of laboratory experiments and the senior project affords the student an opportunity to explore the practical aspects of industrial electronics theory in support of course ECMN 205. It provides the student with a system of progressing from simple circuit construction and testing to more complex circuitry. Students are required to employ the techniques of testing and circuit analysis normally employed in the industrial control setting. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Corequisite: ECMN 205, Industrial Power Electronics. that are involved in the production of almost all goods and a greatmany services.As a result, students need to understand the theory and operation of electronics as they apply to production systems used in industry.An essential element to all aspects of the course is safe working practices associated with the elevated voltages used in three-phase powered systems. The current National Electrical Code (NEC) is applied with particular emphasis on articles 430 and 645, as they apply to control systems. This focus is different from many other electronics courses, which typically emphasize engineering and engineering technology. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Prerequisite: ECMN 205, Industrial Power Electronics I. Corequisite: ECMN 216, Automated Controls and Instrumentation Laboratory.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Spring Lab fee will be required. This laboratory course complements ECMN 206 and provides students with a clear and comprehensive introduction to industrial control systems that increasingly employ electronic and electromechanical techniques. Topics are presented in a logical order and in a way that makes them understandable to students of a wide range of abilities. The course addresses the needs of students seeking to apply their knowledge in pursuit of a career in industrial controls maintenance. Appropriate technical terms are used throughout the course to ensure that students are familiar with the language used by electricians and technicians who install, maintain and calibrate automated industrial control systems. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Corequisite: ECMN 206, Automated Controls and Instrumentation.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Fall Lab fee will be required. This course offers hands-on experience in the principles and practices of single phase and three phase transformer operation. Students complete a series of jobs that progress from basic to very complex connections utilizing transformer systems most often found in the power distribution industry today. This is coupled with a series of jobs that provide valuable experience in connection and operation of industrial type motors, with a focus on learning methods of starting and protection. In addition, this course provides the student the opportunity to develop a resume, cover letter, and reference lists in conjunction with the Center for Careers and Employment, through workshops and class assignments. Job opportunities are discussed and preparation for the job search and interview are all part of this "senior experience." The National Electric Code and safe work habits are stressed at all times. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Prerequisite: ECMN 122, Commercial Construction Wiring. Corequisite: ECMN 203, Transformers and Motors.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Spring Lab fee will be required. This course offers hands-on experience in basic wiring and circuit design of AC industrial motor control systems. It provides the student with a method of progressing from simple circuit development to the more complex at a rate that is commensurate with the student's ability and effort. Students will also design, connect, test, and operate control circuits using programmable logic controllers. The relationship between the PLC and motor control in today's industry, as well as the National Electric Code and safe work practices, are emphasized throughout the course. Open only to matriculated Electrical Construction and Maintenance students. Prerequisite: ECMN 223, Industrial Wiring. Corequisite: ECMN 204, Industrial Motor Control Theory.
