ELTR 2444 - Industrial Programmable Controllers
& Robotics 2.5/3 (4)
Prerequisite: ELTR 2414. This course is designed for users of
industrial programmable controllers who want to become familiar
with basic programming skills and for electricians and
technicians responsible for the programming and operation of a
programmable controller. The course is structured for maximum
hands-on programming as well as program development and
debugging time. Lecture topics include PC terminology, system
hardware, input/output modules, CRT, chassis and power supply,
and other peripheral devices. Students taking this course should
be familiar with relay logic and motor control diagrams and
ladder diagrams and have a working knowledge of all industrial
electrical control symbols.
ELTR 2472 - In-Plant Training
(By student request) 0/10 (2)
Two credit hours will be granted to a student for 2,000 hours
of work experience. The student must be enrolled in the Industrial
Electrical Technology program and be or have been
employed in the electrical field. Written verification from the
employer must be provided to the division chairperson. The
student will prepare a paper documenting the various skills
and professional benefits obtained from his or her experiences
during the 2,000 hours. This paper will describe duties performed,
equipment operation training, various job sites, any
skilled performance tests taken, any training or instruction given,
and all electrical installations made. This paper will be evaluated
by the department staff.

Emergency Medical Technician program course descriptions are
listed under Paramedic. See Pages 152-153.
Engineering
ENGR 1513 - Engineering Graphics 1.5/4.5 (3)
Prerequisite: One year of high school geometry or MATH 1453.
The student will be introduced to projection theory and use it
in the solution of problems involving the size, shape, and position
of common geometrical entities such as lines and su faces.
The student will produce orthographic, pictorial, and sectional
views of objects and prepare elementary working drawings from
given dimensions. Sketching and lettering skills also will be
developed. Computer-aided drafting will be used. IAI: EGR
941 Engineering.
ENGR 1613 - Statics 3/0 (3)
Prerequisites: PHYS 2614 and MATH 2515. The student will apply
a knowledge of mathematics and basic physics principles to the
solution of equilibrium problems in two and three dimensions.
After learning to identify forces and reduce them to equivalent
systems, the student will use vector algebra in the solution of
problems involving forces acting on rigid bodies, structures, and
machines. In addition, methods of calculus will be used to locate
centroids. IAI: EGR 942 Engineering.
ENGR 1623 - Dynamics 3/0 (3)
Prerequisite: ENGR 1613. The student will apply a knowledge of
calculus and basic physical principles to the solution of problems
in kinematics and kinetics. The concepts of motion, force, work,
energy, impulse, and momentum will be used to solve two- and
three-dimensional problems involving the dynamics of particles
and rigid bodies.
ENGR 1714 - Statics & Dynamics
(Based on demand) 4/0 (4)
Prerequisites: PHYS 2614 and MATH 2515. This course includes
an analysis of force systems; equilibrium of two and three dimensional
systems; trusses, frames, and friction; and introduces the
principle of virtual work. The course also introduces the elements
of vector calculus as applied to mechanics; treats the kinematics
of three-dimensional motion of a particle and of a rigid body;
considers motion relative to translating and rotating reference
frames; and treats the kinetics of particles and rigid bodies by
using principles involving force, mass and acceleration, work and
energy, and impulse and momentum.
ENGR 2613 - Electrical Circuits & Networks 3/0 (3)
Prerequisites: MATH 2613 and PHYS 2624. This course studies
the concepts of electricity and magnetism including circuit
variables (units, voltage, inductance, power, and energy); circuit
elements (R, L, C, and operational amplifiers); simple resistive
circuits; circuit analysis (node-voltage, mesh-current, equivalents,
and superimposition); transient analysis; and sinusoidal steady
state (analysis and power). IAI: EGR 931 Engineering.
English/Writing
WRIT 0911 - Basic Sentence Patterns (1)
The student will work with basic sentence patterns. During the
course, the student will focus on subject-verb agreement, verb
tenses, and parts of speech. This course is designed to prepare
students for college-level coursework. See Page 118 under “Course
numbering system.”
WRIT 0921 - Clauses & Phrases (1)
The student will learn to join ideas together using coordination
and subordination. During the course, the student will
study compound sentences, subordinate and relative clauses,
participles, and appositives. This course is designed to prepare
students for college-level coursework. See Page 118 under “Course
numbering system.”
WRIT 0931 - Sentence Fragments (1)
The student will learn to identify and correct sentence fragments
and run-ons. During the course, the student will learn to eliminate
sentence fragments and run-ons from his/her own writing.
This course is designed to prepare students for college-level coursework.
See Page 118 under “Course numbering system.”
WRIT 0941 - Paragraph Development (1)
The student will learn to write unified, detailed, coherent paragraphs
by learning to make a point; focus on the point; support it
with evidence; and organize and connect the evidence within the
paragraph. This course is designed to prepare students for college-level
coursework. See Page 118 under “Course numbering system.”
