ELE 106 Renewable Energy Technology
Credits:3
Level I Prereq: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6; Academic Math Level 3 or MTH 151 minimum grade "C-"
This course introduces students to the theory and application of AC and DC electrical machines and their controls. Topics include DC generators, DC motors and controls, 3 phase power, 3 phase transformers, alternators, 3 phase and single phase AC motors and controls, electronic motor drives, synchronous motors, servo motors and stepper motors. In weekly lab assignments, students will read and interpret schematic diagrams, connect motors and controls, test and troubleshoot motors and controls.

ELE 224 Introduction to PLCs
Credits: 4
Level I Prerequisites: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6
Level II Prerequisites: ELE 111 minimum grade "C-" or equivalent 60 lecture, 30 lab, 0 clinical, 0 other, 90 total contact hours
This is an advanced, hands-on course in PLC system concepts and troubleshooting. Topics include analog I/O, data manipulation, block transfer, on/off and PID closed loop control, data communications (DH+ and remote I/O), operator interface terminals (PanelView), and sequential systems. SLC-500 and PLC-5 processors, and RSLogix500, RSLogix5, and PanelBuilder software are used in lab exercises. This course is intended for students in industrial electronics and automation technology, electrician (and other) apprentices, and industrial technicians. Also for engineers desiring hands-on PLC experience.

HVA 103 Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning II
Credits: 4
Prerequisites: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6; Academic Math Level 2
This course covers basic electrical theory as applied to heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Students solve electrical problems, construct and troubleshoot series-parallel circuits, identify and troubleshoot electrical components, apply alternating current principles, identify, test and troubleshoot motors and motor control circuits, and interpret electrical diagrams and use them to troubleshoot HVACR systems.
