Description
IETTI-101 ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS I 4   Provides a basic understanding of AC/DC circuits
      as applied to Industrial Electronics and computer
      related fields. The course investigates electrical
      component theory and provides the theorems and
      axioms which apply to each area of study.
 
IETTI-102 DIGITAL ELECTRONICS 4   Industrial electronics technicians work with many
      types of digital electronic systems. This course
      introduces the student to the theories  and
      applications of digital electronic devices,
      circuits and systems. The learner will be required
      to demonstrate mastery of all the course
      objectives.
IETTI-103 INTRODUCTION TO MICROCOMPUTERS 4   The learner will study the fundamentals of
      stand-alone computer systems and applications in
      the Industrial Electronics field, and will learn
      to install, configure and maintain Windows 9.x,
      Windows 2000, and Windows XP.  Current media
      technologies will be applied to specified
      settings.  Network-based communications will be
      investigated.  Disaster recovery techniques will
      be applied to specified situations.  The course
      will provide basic competence in supporting
      microcomputers.  Effective communications
      techniques will be used in all job-related
      situations.
      Pre-requisite:  MTHPT 103
      Pre/Co-requisite:  IETTI 101 or permission of the
      instructor.
 
IETTI-104 ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS II 4   Students learn a variety of advanced AC electrical
      and electronic topics including AC power
      generation and distribution, motor control, three
      phase systems, grounding techniques and high power
      transformers. The learner will be required to
      demonstrate mastery of all the course objectives.
 
IETTI-105 SOLID STATE DEVICES 4   Solid state devices, also known as semiconductors,
      comprise most known integrated circuits; they are
      also found as discrete devices on printed circuit
      boards and other electronic equipment. This course
      introduces the student to the theories and
      applications of solid state devices as they are
      used in these applications. The learner will be
      required to demonstrate mastery of all the course
      objectives.
 
IETTI-106 EMBEDDED SYSTEMS 4   Microcontroller applications and programming.
IETTI-108 INTRODUCTION TO PLC'S 4   Today's electronic technician must be familiar
      with programmable logic controllers (PLC's) as
      they are widely used in industry. The course
      begins with an introduction to programmable logic
      controller hardware, memory, I/O modules,
      numbering systems, and programming devices. The
      learner will then gain experience working with PLC
      wiring diagrams, PCL setup configuration, and
      ladder logic programming.
 
IETTI-201 INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS I 4   Industrial electronics technicians work with
      equipment that sense and control pressure,
      temperature, flow and level. These technicians
      must also calibrate and service these systems.
      This course also covers detection sensors such as
      limit switches, analog-digital conversion circuits
      and PID controllers.
IETTI-204 INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS II: HUMAN MACHINE 4   This course will introduce the student to software
INTERFACES     and hardware that allows machine operators to
      interface with PLC control systems.
IETTI-205 ELECTRIC MOTORS, DRIVES AND CONTROLS 4   This course will give the student information and
      practical experience on motors, drives, and
      controls.  The following topics will be covered:
      motors, control circuits, drive programming,
      installation fundamentals, start-up procedures,
      and maintenance and troubleshooting techniques.
IETTI-206 ELECTRIC MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES 4   Introduces the student to electrical wiring
      methods and materials; safety practices and the
      National Electrical Code; installation of conduit
      and raceways; use of electrical test equipment and
      tools; and basic wiring techniques and theory for
      video, network, telephone, and fiber-optic
      systems. Provides the student with troubleshooting
      techniques and information about preventative
      maintenance.
IETTI-207 PROGRAM AND TROUBLESHOOT PCL'S 4   Today's electronic technician must be familiar
      with programmable logic controllers (PLC's) as
      they are widely used in industry. This course
      continues the ladder logic programming stared in
      IETTI 108. The learner will also be exposed to the
      types of PLC communications and troubleshooting
      with a PCL.
IETTI-208 PCL'S SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS 4   Today's electronic technician must be familiar
      with programmable logic controllers (PLC's) as
      they are widely used in industry. This course will
      give the learner additional training in
      programming and networking PLCs. It will also
      introduce him/her to motion control and operator
      interface devices and provide him/her with more
      hands-on experience.
IETTI-290 DIRECTED STUDY IN INDUSTRIAL 1 10 Required study in area agreed upon by student and
ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY     instructor. Might include specialized devices, new
      products, or advanced troubleshooting.
IETTI-292 DIRECTED SPECIAL PROJECTS 3    
IETTI-296 COOPERATIVE EDUCATION IN INDUSTRIAL 3   Work experience in business related to student's
ELECTRONICS     career goals. Student is a paid part-time employee
      working under the supervision of the employer and
      program coordinator.
