Mechatronic Classes
Industrial Electricity
This is a fundamental course to build a foundation for the student to advance on to applications which are based on powered and controlled systems. The student will cover topics of series circuits, parallel circuits, combinations circuits, characteristics of electrical devices, trouble shooting of circuits for circuit faults caused by either faulty components or incorrect connections.

Electrical Control Theory (PLC II)
This course is an intermediate course using digital design techniques in a simple application of PLC controller interface to a Human Machine Interface display for use by a "machine operator". The machine operator will be able to view machine status and perform remote control. The course incorporates both the use of Data Highway Networking, use of a Human Machine Interface i.e. Panel View 300 and Micro 1000 PLC. This is the base course for students that wish to go onto advance programming courses such as PLC-Advanced Digital Control.

Systems Troubleshooting
The process of quickly and effectively locating faults in an electrical system will be the focus of the troubleshooting course. The student will learn to apply his electronics knowledge in a linear methodology to improve his effectiveness in locating problems. The course will incorporate example circuits covering the majority of similar circuits he will encounter in the industrial environment. The 32 hour course consists of 16 hours of theory and 16 hours of hands on lab.
