Prerequisite: READ 0033 or [R].
EET 1104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICITY
Elementary principles of electricity covering basic electric units, OHM’s law, Kirchoff’s law, circuit solutions, network solutions, magnetism, inductance and capacitance. Lab: two hours per week. Co-requisite: MATH 1513.
EET 1244 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS I
The study of transient analysis and network theorems for electric circuits. This course introduces resonant circuits, filters, AC power and computer aided circuit analysis techniques. Lab: two hours per week. Prerequisite: EET 1104. Co-requisite: MATH 1613.
EPT 1103PRINT READINGThis course gives students an introduction to the different schematics used in power plant operations and electrical transmission and distribution systems. Students will gain an understanding of the standard symbols used in the various systems schematics and how to read them. Students learn how to read basic piping and instrumentation diagrams, and how to interpret single line electrical diagrams. Students finish thecourse by studying electrical system diagrams beginning at the generator and following through to the distribution system. Lab 2 hours per week.
EPT 1123 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPONENTSThis course takes an in-depth look into the components used in the transmission of electricity. Students begin with a study of switchyards and substations, and then learn the operation of transformers, circuit breakers, regulators, capacitor banks, battery banks, tap changers, disconnects, current and potential transformers and lightning arrestors. Students also study the various types of electrical conductors, structures and insulators used in the transmission of electricity. Finally, students learn the components, which make up a typical substation and how it feeds a distribution network that supplies customers with electricity. Lab 2 hours per week.
EPT 2063 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS PROTECTIONThis course covers protection fundamentals, philosophies and principles used to protect the electrical system, beginning withthe generator itself. Various types of relays, input sources and system grounding are also covered. Lab 2 hours per week.
EPT 2133 FUNDAMENTALS OF METERINGThis course introduces students to the fundamental of metering, such as terminology and basic principles of meters. Studentslearn basic math needed in metering and review of basic electricity and magnetism principles. The students are introduced to meter testing equipment, meter diagrams and standards and learn technical data and how to read watt hours and demand meters.
EPT 2333 SINGLE/POLYPHASE METERINGMetering Single and polyphase metering including meter design, adjustments, compensations and applications will be studied inthis course. Power factor analyzers, high amperage CT cabinets, meter demand theory, demand registers, and testing and maintenance of thermal demands will also be studied.
EPT 2503 TRANSFORMERSThis course begins with a review of basic transformer design and operation. Students will study 3-phase transformers, single phase loads for 3-phase transformers, and the different connections used such transformers. The course introduces students to installation proceduresand maintenance procedures for transformers.2 hour of lab per week.
EPT 2533 ADVANCED METERING TECHNIQUESThis course begins with a review of basic transformer design and operation. Students will study 3-phase transformers, single phase loads for 3-phase transformers, and the different connections used such transformers. The course introduces students to installation proceduresand maintenance procedures for transformers. 2 hour of lab per week.
EPT 2603CAPSTONEThis course will include topics that have not been covered in the previous courses and will include interview skills, evaluationof the job market and employment opportunities. This course will be normally be taken in the students last semester.
FPST 1313 INTRODUCTION TO OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
A course in industry safety, giving an overview of state and national regulations in safety. The course will also cover the basic areas of an industrial safety program, as well as reporting, investigating and analyzing the results.
PTDT 2013 DRIVER SAFETY AND CDL TRAINING
This course will prepare students to drive commercial vehicles in a safe manner and help students prepare for the commercial driver’s license
