The Electrical Technology program is designed to provide hands-on competence in electricity, electronics, digital electronics, industrial electronics, microprocessors, fiber optics, semiconductor fabrication, telecommunications, and computer aided design. Here are just a few examples of the courses you will take.
Students build on ELT131’s study of sensors and actuators by studying the theory, programming, and operation of devices and systems that are used in industrial controls, including closed loop control, PID control, PLC’s using ladder logic, robotics, HMI’s, and SCADA systems. They become familiar with and are able to troubleshoot and repair systems containing various motor types including DC and AC motor controls, servo systems, and coordinated motion control systems.
This course introduces nanotechnology concepts and characteristics of structures at the nanoscale. The course describes the fabrication process that is involved in producing integrated circuits and semiconductor devices. Various analytical instruments, such as scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and atomic force microscopes (AFM), are used to analyze micro and nano-sized structures.
This course provides an understanding of microcontroller computer architecture. Students learn the hardware and programming details of a microcontroller system, using industry recognized development systems. Topics include microcontroller system organization, registers, memory, addressing, machine language programming, interrupts and interfacing. Additional topics include memory technologies, memory system interfacing and programmable logic devices (PLDs).
