Industrial Technology

This course will cover electrical laws and principles, how they were derived, and how they govern electrical circuits. Topics will include electrical series, parallel and mixed DC circuits with resistors, capacitors, and relays.

This course will cover the fundamentals of electric motors as they interact with force, mass, friction, work, velocity, and torque. Topics will include how, when, and where to use different types of lubrication; identification, use, and operation of types of bearing installation and removal procedures.

This course will cover the basic principles of electric systems and motor controls by being able to identify and demonstrate the utility of different types of motor controls and current protection devices, as well as understanding lockout/tagout procedures.

This course will cover AC circuits and the control components in the AC circuits. Topics will include different types of industrial conduits and enclosures, and how to install them from the weather head to the main distribution panel.

This course will cover how to wire the motor control circuit and door simulator by using a miniature industrial garage door. Topics will include how to install the door correctly, read electrical drawings, install enclosures and boxes, install conduits and conductors, install safety handles, limit switches, and overload resets.

This course will cover the concepts of hydraulics, by applying force to a confined liquid, creating pressure, and the concept of pneumatics (compressed air). Topics will include the differences (and similarities) between hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems.

This course will cover how electric motors transfer their power to other equipment through belts and chains. Topics will include hot to size, install, and tension many different types of belts and chains, and their use in industry.

This course will cover how electric motors transfer their power to other equipment through gears and dear systems. Topics will include alignment and coupling needed to have the motors and industrial systems mated.
