Course Description

Fourth semester laboratory develops technical and leadership skills essential for the Industrial Automation Technician, including design, strategic planning, problem solving, and project management. Students will demonstrate the ability to oversee project through the entire process, from design through commissioning of complex systems per client specifications. PREREQUISITE: ELEC A245 or ELEC A253 or ELEC A260 or concurrent enrollment. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Perform entry-level maintenance, calibration, and diagnostic procedures on control systems.
2. Generate technical reports to approved Engineering Technology standards.

Course Objectives

• 1. Demonstrate proficiency of laboratory skills sets necessary for an Industrial Automation Technician: safety, tools and equipment, assembly skills, and project management.
• 2. Demonstrate proficiency of laboratory skills sets: Test equipment, Procedures, Prototype development.
• 3. Engineering technology design: mechanical, electrical, electronic, programming, to specifications established by the projects assigned by the instructor/client.
• 4. Develop self-evaluation skills to troubleshooting skill development progress.
• 5. Project management and leadership through prototype development and documentation to industry standards.
• 6. Demonstrate safe working practices in an industrial setting
