No new students will be admitted. The courses listed are offered during the phase-out period only to currently matriculated students. Students learn about refraction, reflection, imaging, fiber optics, light emitting diodes, lasers and optically controlled solid-state electronic devices. Basic topics covered include generators, motors, transformers and distribution lines. Both alternating and direct current machines are covered.
Students learn about electrical, thermal, hydraulic and mechanical transducers.
Emphasis is on the similar operating characteristics of all kinds of transducers. Students express results using mathematics and graphics. The second course in a sequence on the topic of automatic controls. Students learn about the effects on a controlled process when different ways are used to connect the input transducer to the output transducer. The course covers open and closed loop systems.
