Industrial Electronic Principles
Plan Code: 925 CIP Code: 15.0303
Program Description
The Certificate in Industrial Electronic Principles prepares students to design, draw, construct, analyze, and troubleshoot basic analog electronic circuits and to set up and operate basic electronic test and measuring equipment.
Program Coordination: These two certificate programs are generally not taken alone but are usually pursued concurrently with either the EEE Technology Diploma or EEE Servicing Diploma, with several overlapping courses and requirements.
Program Outcomes: Graduates will be able to:
- Design, draw, construct, analyze, & troubleshoot basic series & parallel AC & DC electrical circuits, including all typical circuit elements, & explain the function of each.
- Design, draw, construct, analyze, & troubleshoot basic analog electronic circuits.
- Identify, select, set up & operate basic electronic test and measuring equipment including ammeters, ohmmeters, voltmeters, clamp-on ammeters, multi-meters, power supplies, function generators, & oscilloscopes & explain the application of each.
- Demonstrate an understanding of commercial 3-phase electric power generation.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals of networks in an industrial environment.
