The student able to write structured programs, compile them in the computer, trouble shoot any errors, and document the function and input and output of the program. Prerequisites - none. Various computer interfaces and programming languages are combined to control electromechanical systems. C language applications are combined with assembly language routines to control systems. The course book describes the C programming language for non-programmers.
Students continue the study of C and assembly language begun in other courses.
Applications are directed to solving problems related to the numerical and data handling problems faced by the engineering technician. The student able to apply computer control to real-time system control. The course in Feedback and Control Systems investigates devices and circuits used in the control of electromechanical systems. The student studies control diagrams and simple control systems and their applications. The student will become familiar with sensors and devices used in feedback circuits as well as accuracy and application of those sensors in control circuits.
