This course is an introduction to Integrated Manufacturing Systems, providing context for future coursework in maintenance and automation programs. Students analyze the sequence of operations in a manufacturing system, explore HMI navigation, and apply a troubleshooting methodology that is used in sequencing machines.

620-904 Fluid Power 3: Intermediate Pneumatics

This course continues the study of pneumatics. Emphasis is placed on the electrical controls of pneumatic circuits while students analyze the operation of sequencing circuits and apply troubleshooting principles to identify faulted components.

620-905 Machine Setup & Installation 2

This course is a continuation of Machine Setup & Installation 1. By the end of this course, students will be able to move a load with a crane, level and align equipment, and set anchoring devices. Emphasis is placed on standard safety procedures for all machine setup operations.

620-906 Fluid Power 4: Intermediate Hydraulics

This course continues the study of hydraulics. Students will analyze the design and function of hydraulic pumps, flow control valves, and actuators.

620-907 Fluid Power 5: Advanced Hydraulics

In this course, students examine characteristics of fluid conductors, selection of hydraulic fluids, troubleshooting of hydraulic systems, and repair of hydraulic components.

620-908 Maintenance Management

This course explores basic principles of maintenance management, including preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, work order management, and project management. Students perform the duties of scheduling, purchasing, inventory management, and stakeholder communication with internal and external customers.

620-910 Electric Motors 2

In this course, students examine motor contactors and starters, industry wiring best practices, and how to design and wire control circuits.

620-911 Variable Speed Drives 2

In this course, students build on skills obtained in Variable Speed Drives 1 to program and troubleshoot AC drives.

620-913 Servomechanisms 2

This course is a continuation of Servomechanisms 1. Students build servo systems from schematics, demonstrate calibration and span procedures for instrumentation, and program servo motion systems to complete basic motion tasks.

620-914 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems

Students identify the basic components of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Current manufacturer specific software is used to monitor and operate servo controllers and PID controllers from an HMI screen. In addition, students create and configure data trending tools and run-time files.

620-915 Troubleshooting Integrated Manufacturing Systems 2

This capstone course challenges students to apply the full range of their Automation Engineering Technology skills in order to perform advanced troubleshooting and repair of various faults in a fully integrated manufacturing system. Students combine and apply their knowledge and skill in electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as PLC programming and robot control.
