    ELE-115 - Electronics for Technicians 2

    2 credits
    This course introduces the principles of embedded controllers, smart sensors and process control systems. Such components are the heart of modern day electronic and electro-mechanical systems and can be found extensively in fields such as automotive, HVAC, medical instrumentation equipment, remote monitoring (such as weather station and utility infrastructure), consumer/commercial/industrial electronics, high tech manufacturing processes, and anywhere sensors and data acquisition are required. Students will study complete systems including sensors, PIC controllers, motors, relays, actuators, indicators and display devices. Students will also develop an understanding of bus systems, control system feedback, electro-mechanical systems and simple programming concepts. Programming will be kept to a minimum as the emphasis will be on how the different components of the system connect and communicate. In the lab portion of the course students will build, test and trouble-shoot various PIC based sensor and actuator systems. Special emphasis will be place on systems that are directory applicable to consumer, industrial and commercial systems.

    ELE-121 - Technical Documents Using Word

    1 credits
    This course is an introduction to using a word processor to build and maintain technical documents that conform to corporate style requirements. The course begins with a very quick coverage of the core features of Microsoft Word. We then cover the departmental documentation standard for word processor documents, font basics, the creation and application of styles, tables of data, table of contents, auto numbering, and document versioning. Importing and exporting graphics, technical drawings, schematics, and spreadsheets into the documents will be covered. Printing to hardcopy and PDF’s are required. OpenOffice and the Open Document standard will also be presented in this course.

    Prerequisite(s): DWT-099  and Basic MS Windows
