ELM 251 Instrumentation and Control Technology -
This course covers the theory and application of mechanical processes and their control circuits. All major aspects of a control system are studied, including controllers, drivers, actuators, sensors and feedback control. Topics include PMDC motors, stepper motors, brushless motors, sensors, transducers, and servomechanisms. Students gain skills designing, characterizing, and troubleshooting small-scale control systems. LabVIEW is introduced and used throughout the course for data acquisition and control. Credits: 4
Prerequisites: ELT 104, ELT 121 Semester Offered: F/S Note: Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory

ELM 257 Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers -
In this course, students gain valuable knowledge and skills in the use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to control manufacturing processes. Students learn the parts of a PLC system and how each part contributes to an effective system of control. In the lab, students connect a PLC to various input and output devices using proper wiring methods, write PLC programs using ladder logic, and apply troubleshooting techniques. Credits: 4
Prerequisites: ELT 103 Semester Offered: F/S Note: Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory

ELM 258 Mechatronic Systems -
This course provides students with a systems-level overview of mechatronic systems and how they are integrated into today's highly automated manufacturing environments. Topics include equipment safety, power distribution, pneumatics, controller I/O, SCADA networks, HMI programming, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Students learn and practice systematic troubleshooting, problem solving, and preventive and corrective maintenance. Classroom material is reinforced by lab activities using a highly automated manufacturing system and other mechatronic systems. Credits: 4 Corequisites: ELM 257 Semester Offered: F/S Note: Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory

ELM 260 Industrial Robotics -
This course is an introduction to robotics as used in modern industry. Students explore coordinate systems, control systems, drive systems, and various methods of programming. In the laboratory, students complete a series of projects that require them to program robots to perform a variety of work cell tasks. Students practice industrial robot safety at all times. Students completing this course receive Fanuc CERT Certification, an internationally recognized robotics certification. Credits: 4
