Analytical Process Control

Catalog description

Students will use analytical control concepts in industrial situations. Students will learn process control across the common variables of level, flow, temperature, and pH. This course will include skills such as performing hazard analysis, control flows through metering and injector pumps, test pH and measure the output of a combination electrode with a multimeter. Students will program and calibrate a pH meter and configure and operate controllers to maintain or manipulate specific pH levels. Students will use chart recorders to collect and display process data. This course covers how to use computer software to view and manipulate the data. TECH 1143 Industrial Fluid Power I 3 Credits This course introduces fluid power principles, components, and fluid line manufacturing, presenting basic circuit design using symbols, schematic diagrams, and routing to build a foundation of knowledge in fluid power. Students learn and practice safe operation and handling of fluids, components, motors, pumps, tools, and equipment. Students will complete lab exercises by demonstrating competency through practical application. TECH 1153 Industrial Electricity I 3 Credits An introduction to basic electrical terminology, units, symbols, concepts, notation, basic measurement techniques, and equipment usage. Topics include charge, AC/DC current and voltage, resistance, Ohm’s Law, power, series, and parallel circuits, and basic troubleshooting techniques. Upon completion, participants should be able to read and interpret basic electrical drawings with an emphasis on Ladder Diagrams and Ladder Logic Diagrams. Students must complete lab exercises demonstrating competency through practical applications.
