EET 1990 — Independent Study in EET
1-5 Credit hours  

Provides the student with the opportunity for in-depth work on a special topic within the field of Electronic Engineering Technology, which the student was not able to pursue in-depth during the regular course offerings. During the first week of the semester, the student is required to describe in writing the proposed course of study he/she wishes to pursue. Such proposal must be submitted to the division dean for approval and student assignment to an Electronic Engineering Technology area faculty member for overseeing the project. This course of independent study may be substituted for an Electronic Engineering technical course if it is applicable. No more than five (5) credit hours will count toward graduation.

Magnetic relays, motor starters, timers, forward and reversing starters and other motor control devices are introduced. Different types of motors are also discussed. These may include direct current motors, three-phase and single-phase alternating current motors and stepping motors. Different methods for starting, accelerating, stopping, and reversing motors will be discussed. Laboratory activity will be used to wire up control circuits and analyze important characteristics of these circuits.
Prerequisite: EET 1110.

EET 2200 — Panel Wiring and Arc Flash Safety
3 Credit hours  

Provides students with the ability to read industrial electrical prints. Students will learn to wire industrial electrical panels and use soldered and crimped-on connectors. Students will learn to properly layout wires in an industrial panel using the correct size and colors of wires according to applicable codes and standards. Students will also learn to safely open live high voltage electrical panels following the latest Arc Flash safety standards and use the appropriate protective equipment.

EET 2310 — Microcontroller Fundamentals   
4 Credit hours  

Covers the fundamentals of microcomputers. Since the introduction of the 8-bit microprocessors in 1973, the marketplace for the microprocessor has advanced into all areas of industrial and consumer goods. The microcontroller incorporates a microprocessor and additional I/O and can be customized for specific application. In order to use the microcontroller, users must know how to instruct it, get information into and out of the circuits and communicate with the system in language the machine understands-this means software and programming. Hence, this course will give the student a good knowledge of the basic instructions of a microcontroller (Motorola 68HC12) and use these instructions to control the device and peripheral devices.
Transfer: TAG.

EET 2320 — C# Programming
3 Credit hours  

Covers more advanced programming concepts using the Visual C# programming language. Students will create Windows applications using methods, classes, structures, arrays, writing to and reading from files and error trapping.
Prerequisites: CPT 1120.

EET 2600 — Electrical and Electronic Maintenance
3 Credit hours  

Introduces the student to electrical and electronic concepts associated with manufacturing maintenance.
