Featured Courses
Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) I & II
Learn the concepts and operation of engineering drawing preparation in this lecture and laboratory in this four-credit, two-semester course. Become proficient in AutoCAD to aid in reducing drawing time and improve accuracy. Additional topics include prototype drawings, blocks, attributes, x-reference, grips, paper space and development of 3-dimensional solid modeling.rn
Digital Principles
This course develops the fundamentals of the binary system. Circuit implementation from Boolean functions and map minimization. Course includes study of combinational logic, sequential logic circuits, flip-flops, counters and shift register. The laboratory allows the student to apply theory to practical digital circuits.
Electronic Fabrication
This course provides students with an opportunity to learn about the process involved in the fabrication of electronic circuit boards. Using computer-aided drafting tools, students create an electronic component layout and necessary art work for the construction of a printed circuit board. Students are introduced to project management concepts and techniques, soldering, test specifications and printed circuit board construction. A term project or a series of smaller projects enables students to manage, build and assemble a printed circuit board and develop test specifications.
