Electro Mechanical Technology Electro Mechanical
Technology is a 1080 hour program that is designed to prepare students
for entry-level employment in the electromechanical field. The students
are provided with the knowledge and experience in the areas of safety,
electrical wiring, motor controls, electronics, programmable logic
controllers, robotics, and fluid power systems. Students are prepared to
enter the workforce in the maintenance and electrical fields of
industrial equipment. The certificate from this program may be
articulated toward an associate degree with Lehigh Carbon Community
College in related technical fields.
INTRODUCTION TO
ELECTRO MECHANICAL ~ 80hr/3cr
The study in the fundamentals of the
electromechanical field. Topics to be covered will include electrical
and machine safety, proper use and care of hand tools, power tools,
electrical test equipment, grounding procedures, start up and shut down
of equipment, and lock-out/tag-out procedures.
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICITY ~ 95hr/3cr
Areas of study will be the atomic structure,
electron theories, static charges, magnetism, conductors, insulators,
capacitors, inductors, and alternating, and direct currents. The
concepts and use of Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s Laws will be used to
mathematically solve series and parallel circuits.
BASIC ELECTRICAL WIRING ~ 95hr/3cr
The study of basic electrical wiring,
electrical lay-outs, installation and testing of various electrical
components and service entrance panels used in residential and
commercial applications in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ~ 90hr/3cr
Topics to be covered will include basic
principles of ladder logic and schematic diagrams, theory and operation
of relays, solenoids, contactors, starters, timers, switches, proximity
switches, and power distribution systems used in the industrial
applications. The students will be required to properly connect and test
circuits for proper system operation.
MOTORS & TRANSFORMERS ~ 90hr/3cr
A continuation of the electrical components
course designed to help students in the theory and operation of single
and three-phase transformers and motors. Topics will include step-up and
step-down transformers, delta and wye connections, AC and DC motor
operations, and load testing of components. Students will be introduced
to AC and DC variable speed drives.
INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS ~ 90hr/3cr
The study and application of single and three
phase motor control circuitry using contactors, manual, and magnetic
starters. The use of single and multiple start/stop stations, as well as
timing circuits and proximity switches, will be used for forward and
reversal of AC and DC motor operations. Emphasis is placed on the proper
wiring, troubleshooting, and repair actions motor control circuits. INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS I ~
90hr/3cr
The use of electronic test equipment is introduced in this
course to properly test and analyze solid state components. Topics will
include solid state power supplies and amplifier circuits with emphasis
on diodes, capacitors, transistors, and resistors to study their effects
on various system operations.
INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS II
~ 90hr/3cr
A continuation of Industrial Electronics I with the theory and
operation of silicon control rectifiers, diac, triac, field effect
transistors, photo-electric components, operational amplifiers, and the
555 timer used in industrial motor control circuits.
DIGITAL ELECTRONICS ~ 90hr/3cr
The study and operation of circuits used in digital logic systems.
Topics covered will be the seven basic gates, flip flops, counters,
arithmetic circuits, encoders and decoders, multiplexing and numbering
systems used in computer and programmable logic controllers.
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLS ~ 90hr/3cr
The study of operation, programming, and troubleshooting of PLC
systems. Students apply theory to hands-on applications related to the
basic principles of Programmable Logic Controllers. Topics covered
include ladder diagrams, numbering systems, timers, counters, PLC
installation, programming, editing, and process control using PID
instructions. Students will learn to interface PLC systems to field
devices and instrumentation and utilize common "human-machine interface"
software to interact with PLC programs.
ROBOTICS ~ 80hr/3cr
A study of robotics fundamentals that introduce students to
controllers, types of robotics arms, end effectors, sensors, integration
of mechanical devices, degree of operations, and teaching methods found
in basic robotics systems.
PNEUMATICS & HYDRAULICS ~ 100hr/3cr
The study of fluid power operations used in industrial applications
for power transmission and machine control. Topics will include
air-compressors, hydraulic pumps, motors, cylinders, mechanical and
electrical control valves, ISO symbology, and use of schematic diagrams
associated with system operations and troubleshooting.
ELECTIVES
AUTOMATION CONTROLS ~ 90hr/3cr
Interfacing Programmable Logic Controls (PLC’c) to sensors for
controlling pneumatics, hydraulics, motor controls, and electrical
applications.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION ~ 90hr/3cr
