An investigation into the fundamental concepts of analog electronics including semiconductor device theory, power supplies, amplifiers, operational amplifiers, oscillators, linear integrated circuits, and control circuits. Laboratory experiments provide experiences with electronic instrumentation, electronic components, and electronic circuit behavior. A presentation of number systems and codes, microprocessor architecture, computer arithmetic, machine language programming, and microprocessor interfacing. Emphasis is placed on laboratory experiments dealing with machine language program execution and microprocessor interfacing. Advanced machine metalworking processes, including indexing and gear cutting are emphasized.
Students are responsible for determining the sequence of operations necessary to produce a product.
This is an introductory course in the study of basic hydraulic and pneumatic circuits and systems. Theoretical concepts are verified by practical hands-on laboratory activities. This is a survey course designed to provide the student with an opportunity to gain information about the industrial and technological uses of plastic-like materials. In the laboratory the student designs, constructs and uses a variety of tools, forms and molds. An introduction to the theory, operation and major overhaul procedures of small 2 and 4- cycle gasoline engines.
