This course will cover subjects of bearings, shafts, gears, belts, lubrication, and strengths of material heat treatment. In this course students are presented with the theoretical concepts of single phase motor and will understand the operation of stepper motors, repulsion motors, shade-pole type, and three phase motors. The student learns how to read first and third angle projection blueprints. The assignments consist of assembly drawings of typical functioning equipment and are used to give the student practice in determining design function of the machine, function of individual parts, tolerances and fits required for proper parts operation and in identifying machine design faults. This course allows students to enhance abilities in written, oral and non-verbal communication and to develop greater critical thinking skills.
Students learn to use computers for research, word processing, and file management.
The CADD course introduces the EMT student to the fundamentals of computer assisted design and production drafting. It is meant to complement their blueprint reading course and provide them with a basic understanding of graphic language as it pertains to the electrical and mechanical fields. The student will be provided with the theory of drawing and be given the opportunity to apply this theory by producing simple electrical schematics and machine parts using the computer and AutoCad software as their working medium. In this course the student will improve algebraic proficiency to the level required by technicians entering the workforce. The course concentrates on the skills that will allow the student to efficiently solve equations and formulae encountered in industry.
