circuitry. Topics include board-drafting fundamentals; digital<br />
logic diagrams; relay and ladder logic diagrams; wiring diagrams;<br />
residential wiring; schematic symbols and diagrams; and<br />
printed circuit board artwork. Students will work manually on<br />
a drafting table and will engage in computer-aided drafting and<br />
computer simulation of various electrical and electronic circuits.<br />
Emphasis will be placed on developing the student’s ability to<br />
correctly understand and interpret electrical and electronic drawings<br />
and diagrams. All students will complete a project which<br />
involves drafting a proper schematic diagram, creating printed<br />
circuit board artwork, fabricating a printed circuit board, and<br />
assembling a working electronic circuit. Lab assignments require<br />
basic drafting tools.<br />

personally funded project. The project along with a formal paper<br />
will be required upon completion of this course.<br />
ELTR 2192 - Special Projects II<br />
(Based on demand) 1.5/1 (2)<br />
Prerequisites: ELTR 2182 and consent of instructor. This course<br />
is a continuation of ELTR 2182 - Special Projects I.<br />
ELTR 2302 - Electronics/Electrical Internship<br />
(By student request) 0/10 (2)<br />
Prerequisites: Successful completion of a minimum of 30 credit<br />
hours of ELTR courses and approval of the program coordinator.<br />
Students will apply electronic knowledge in a cooperating business<br />
under the supervision of a training sponsor and the program<br />
coordinator. A work log will be kept, and a summary paper will<br />
be required upon completion of the experience.<br />
ELTR 2314 - Intro to Solar-Thermal Technology 2.5/3 (4)<br />
Prerequisites: ELTR 1223, ELTR1064, and ELTR 1034. This<br />
course explores the use of Solar-Thermal technology for space<br />
heating and water heating. Students will be given theory and<br />
hands-on lab experience, sizing, installing and maintaining solarthermal<br />
heating systems. Basic hand tools must be supplied by the<br />
students. An overall goal of this course is to prepare the student<br />
for the NABCEP Solar-Thermal pre-certification exam.<br />
ELTR 2324 - Intro to Small-Wind Energy Tech 2.5/3 (4)<br />
Prerequisites: ELTR 1223, ELTR 1064, ELTR 1174, ELTR<br />
2074, and ELTR 2414. This course explores the design, installation<br />
and use of Small-Wind Electrical Generator Systems for<br />
consumer and commercial applications. Students will be given<br />
theory and hands-on lab experience, sizing, installing and maintaining<br />
small-wind electrical generating systems. Basic hand<br />
tools must be supplied by the students. An overall goal of this<br />
course is to prepare the student for the NABCEP Small-Wind<br />
pre-certification exam.<br />
ELTR 2334 - Intro to Solar-Photovoltaic Tech 2.5/3 (4)<br />
Prerequisites: ELTR 1223 and ELTR 1064. This course explores<br />
