The first course in a two-quarter sequence. Introduces students to the theory of microprocessor-based control systems. Students learn about software techniques applied to electromechanical systems. This laboratory course emphasizes systems analysis and troubleshooting. Emphasizes the construction, testing and troubleshooting of microprocessor-based systems.
Students identify and solve problems and report solutions independently.
This course is project-based and ties together many of the concepts learned in the electromechanical technology program. Circuit Analysis Emphasizes the analysis of complex circuits. Students learn about Kirchoff's Laws, independent and dependent sources, power, equivalent sources and resistances, Thevinin's Theorem, Norton's Theorem, superposition theorem, mesh analysis and nodal analysis. Students work on projects that include circuit design, software design, breadboarding skills and troubleshooting techniques. All rights reserved.
