The student will learn how health and safety issues have evolved through legislation , the need for health and safety regulations and the need for joint occupational health and safety committees. The course will include comprehensive sections on personal safety, and safety management. Sections of the course will be specific to the safe use of tools, chemicals, lasers, electricity and the need for personal protective equipment. This course will provide an introduction to structured and object oriented programming of microcomputer systems. Computer operation and programming techniques are explained.
Students learn to use compilers and programming development software tools.
This course introduces the physics concepts of direct current and simple alternating current electric circuits. It provides the student with the skills necessary to use standard electrical instrumentation to measure the basic circuit quantities. Students learn Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, capacitance and inductance and can apply these concepts to solve rudimentary electric circuit analysis problems. The student will also study diodes, rectifier circuits, and the application of oscilloscopes, and other measurement tools during this course. During this course, the student will further develop and demonstrate the mathematical skills necessary to solve mathematical problems of a technical nature.
