ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES (WWCC ELTR 1505 3 credits)
This course is designed to help the student develop basic knowledge and skills which are used in the electrical trades. Topics of study include safety, soldering, use of electrical hand tools, methods of securing electrical connections, fabrication of printed circuit boards and component replacement. The student must demonstrate the ability to solder and make electrical connections upon completion of this course.

BASIC ELECTRICAL – AC (WWCC ELTR 1530 3 credits)
Topics of study include in this class are AC electricity theory, magnetism, inductance, capacitance, reactance, impedance, resonance, AC series-parallel circuits, electrical math and use of formulas, and the use of the oscilloscope and AC test equipment. The student must demonstrate the ability to troubleshoot a complex AC series-parallel circuit upon completion of this course.

BASIC ELECTRICAL – DC (WWCC ELTR 1520 3 credits)
This course is designed to help the student develop basic knowledge and skills which are used in the electrical trades. Topics of study include DC electricity theory, units of electricity, Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, power, resistance, series-parallel circuits, electrical math and the use of formulas, and the use of basic meters. The student must demonstrate the ability to troubleshoot a complex DC series-parallel circuit upon completion of this course.

Digital Circuits (WWCC ELTR 1760 4 credits)
This course will develop knowledge and skills in basic digital electronics and serve as a foundation for other electrical/electronics and instrumentation courses. Topics of study include safety, principles of digital circuits, logic gates, counting circuits, registers, and A/D converters.

Programmable Logic Controllers (WWCC ELTR 2815 3 credits)
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) has been developed to provide the student with an understanding of PLCs. If a student completes all of the sections they will learn the basic components of a PLC, how to read and control both discrete and analog inputs and outputs, the elements of programming a PLC and how to troubleshoot the system. All of the learning is done in a “hands on” approach using an Allen Bradley SLC500 PLC and RSLogix programming software.

Solid Modeling I (WWCC ES1070 W1 3 credits)
Solid modeling is a method of designing parts using a computer where the parts are created as three dimensional objects in the computer. The parts are then used to create 2D working drawings which may be used for manufacturing purposes. This class will take the student through the process of designing parts, assembling parts and creating working drawings.

Solid Modeling II (WWCC ES 1080 W2 3 credits)
This course is a continuation of study in solid modeling and design practices. This class will take the student through advanced processes of designing parts, assembling parts and creating working drawings. Upon successful completion of the class, students may receive certification for SolidWorks showing that they have met the minimum requirements to enter the workforce using SolidWorks.

COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING (WWCC ES 2230 3 credits)
This course is an introduction to computer-aided drafting and design practices. The AUTOCAD software designed and marketed by AutoDesk, Inc. is a popular CAD software package for current PC applications and the focus of this class. The student will work through a series of CAD exercises emphasizing 2-D drawing skills through hands-on experiences.

ADVANCED COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING (WWCC ES 2240 3 credits)
This course is a continuation of study in computer-aided drafting and design practices. More advanced work in the use of AutoCAD will be the focus of the class. The student will work through a series of CAD exercises emphasizing 2-D drawing skills through hands-on experiences.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS (WWCC ELTR 2855 3 credits)
This self-paced course is offered both as a day and evening class, and students employed in shift-work may attend either session. Topics of study include safety, schematic and ladder diagrams, programmable logic controller applications, programming and operation. Upon completion of the course the student must demonstrate the ability to connect and troubleshoot practical industrial control circuits.

MACHINE TOOL PROCESSES I (WWCC MCH 2740 4 credits)
This class is offered as an evening class primarily for employed industrial maintenance mechanics who wish to expand their capabilities as machinists. It covers fundamental lathe operations and special topics to meet the job needs.
