ENV 102 Safety Orientation (OSHA-10), 1 credit.
During this course students are familiarized with a wide range of integrated devices, their characteristics and the circuits in which they are used. Students receive practical experience on integrated device characteristics, how they are used in the design of circuits and troubleshooting problems.
EET 105 DC Circuits, 4 credits
This course is an introduction to electronic components, symbols, and the global language used in electronics. Students receive Hands on and Lecture Based instruction simultaneously with practical experience reading schematic diagrams, analyzing and constructing circuits, and test procedures of electronic operating characteristics used in DC electronics and electricity. This course will also introduce students to electronic components, symbols, soldering techniques, and the global language used in electronics.
EET 106 AC Circuits, 4 credits.
Students receive Hands on and Lecture Based instruction simultaneously with practical experience reading schematic diagrams, analyzing and constructing circuits, and test procedures of electronic operating characteristics used in AC electronics and electricity. This course will provide an in depth coverage of AC signal characteristics, Reactive circuits, Filtration, and AC Circuit analysis. A brief introduction to three phase theory will be included as time permits
EET 110 Solid State Fundamentals, 4 credits (Prerequisite EET 105)
Solid State Fundamentals will introduce and characterize semiconductor devices including diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers, silicon controlled rectifiers, and Triacs. Power supply design and amplifier characteristics will be emphasized throughout the class.
EET 115 Digital Circuits, 4 credits.
During this course students are familiarized with a wide range of digital devices, their characteristics and the circuits that they are used in. Students will receive practical experience on digital device characteristics, how they are used in the design of circuits and troubleshooting problems. This course will provide the foundation used to understand advanced digital systems.
EET 116 Digital Systems, 4 credits, (Prerequisite EET 115)
During this course students are familiarized with a wide range of digital devices, their characteristics and the circuits that they are used in. Students will receive practical experience on digital device characteristics, how they are used in the design of circuits and troubleshooting problems. Significant time will be spent developing an understanding of sequential logic, memory devices and analog/digital conversion methods.
EET 210 Industrial Electronics, 4 credits (Prerequisite EET 110/ EET 116)
This course integrates the content of EET 110 and EET 116. It provides an introduction to power and industrial electronics. The course will focus on Operational Amplifiers, Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Conversions, and power interfaces used commonly in industrial motor controls and industrial electronics. In addition, principles of electronics manufacturing techniques will be integrated with the accompanying laboratory activities.
EET 220 Microcontrollers, 4 credits
This course introduces the student to concepts of microprocessor programming (including Assembly Language) and gives the student a foundation in microprocessor applications. This phase presents a working knowledge of microprocessor programming and interfacing along with an understanding of digital-to-analog conversion, analog-to-digital conversion, analog signal conditioning, sensors, transducers, and many other facets.
EET 230 Programmable Logic Controllers, 4 credits
This course gives students a background in programmable logic controller theory, implementation, and troubleshooting.
EET 240 Digital Communications, 4 credits (Prerequisite EET 106/ EET 110)
The communication spectrum has been greatly expanded by the use of “wireless” communication. This phase is designed to teach the fundamentals and intermediate techniques of Radio Frequency (RF) communications. This course introduces the student to methods of generating and receiving AM (amplitude modulated) and FM (frequency modulated) signals, antennas, transition lines, and satellite communications.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires Salina Area Technical College to report about its graduates' gainful employment. In order to be eligible for funding under the Title IV programs, an educational program must lead to a certificate or degree (associate, bachelor's, graduate, or professional) or prepare students for "gainful employment in a recognized occupation" (GE Programs). Complete information on the GE Program requirements is available on the designated Gainful Employment Information Page that can be found at http://ifap.ed.gov/GainfulEmploymentInfo/.
