ETI: Engineering Tech Indust

PRINT READING FOR TRADES This course provides a comprehensive and practical approach to reading prints as associated to current engineering and manufacturing practice with an emphasis of standardization (ASME, ISO, CADD, AWS). Major topics include: CADD practices used to create drawings, using scales and precision measuring equipment, manufacturing materials and processes, 2D and 3D dimensioning print views, GD&T, welding processes and representations, and electrical diagrams and schematics. (Special Fee: $60.00).

CONCEPTS OF LEAN MANUFACTURING AND SIX SIGMA Prerequisite: ETI 1110 This course introduces the basic principles and theories of lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, and supply chain management. The coverage includes topics related to cost reduction, work-free manufacturing, continuous flow, kaizen, the 5s’s, value stream mapping, modular manufacturing, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

MANUFACTURING MATERIALS AND PROCESSES This course provides coverage of the characteristics, fundamentals, and manufacturing properties of materials, including metal alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Metal casting, Shaping, and forming processes are covered along with the machines needed for manufacturing.

MECHANICS AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Prerequisite: ETI 1701 This course provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to the concepts, principles, and equipment used in industrial mechanical systems. Major topics include: workplace safety and tools, precision measurement, print reading, fastening methods, rigging and lifting, mechanical drives, and preventive maintenance programs. Other topics include an overview of principles and applications for electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Content will be covered using classroom lecture techniques combined with hands-on laboratory sessions. (Special Fee: $60.00).

INDUSTRY 4.0 AND AUTOMATION CONTROL WITH PLCS Prerequisite: EET 1084C or department approval. An introductory coverage of fundamentals of PLCs and PLC networking with emphasis on Industry 4.0 technology, smart automation, logic controllers, and process control. Students will explore effective network communication schemes between PLC system components, programming, and troubleshooting. Laboratory projects will provide an in-depth understanding and hands-on experience with use of Allen-Bradley processor, RSLogix software, data base collection and manipulation. (Special Fee: $43.00).

PRODUCTION AND INVENTORY CONTROL In this course, students will learn how to use manufacturing planning and control systems to coordinate material, labor, capacity and other resources to optimize manufacturing operations. Students also learn the key features of automated systems that can be used to manage the supply chain process. The course will cover production planning and inventory control including scheduling, MRP, and capacity planning. 202110.

MOTORS AND CONTROLS Prerequisite: EET 1084C and ETI 1701 An entry-level course to study devices and components and their operations converting electrical energy into mechanical motion such as AC and DC motors, transformers, generators, servo and stepping motors, solenoids, linear motors and actuators and how electronic motor control systems can be used to improve efficiency. (Special Fee: $50.00).
