Up to 4 To complete the Associate in Applied Science Degree, the program emphasis credit hours and the general education credit hours, which must be taken from the list approved by the General Education Committee, must total at least 64 credit hours. Also see specific curriculum guide for program emphasis. Certain general education courses are preferred for different programs. Associate in Applied Science DegreeStudents completing a technical program may desire to seek the Associate in Applied Sciences Degree. In addition to completing a technical program, this degree also requires the completion of 18 hours in general education as outlined below. Certain courses within this degree may or may not transfer to baccalaureate degree granting institutions. The student must complete 64 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00 (C) or above. There is a minimum cumulative general education requirement of 18 semester hours. A minimum number of semester credit hours will be required in each of the fields listed below. NOTE: No courses numbered below 100 apply. I. Communications (6 hours) Description of CoursesCONT-160. Electrical Applications. Up to 4 Hours (0-196 Contact Hours). This course provides students with an opportunity to gain knowledge and develop skills in the Electrical field. This is a short course focused on current Electrical applications for residential, commercial, and industrial settings. ELEC-106. Fundamentals of Electricity. 4 Hours (90 Contact Hours). This is an applied science course beginning with atomic structure, electron flow, A.C. and D.C. circuits, continuing through conductor and resistor material types, series and parallel circuits, applying Ohm's, Watt's and Kirchoff's circuit laws and principles and computing voltage drop. ELEC-108. Residential Wiring. 8 Hours (235 Contact Hours). This course begins with simple lighting circuits and progresses through installing an entire electrical system for a total electrical home. The student should master the installation of basic circuits, application of codes and blueprint reading by the completion of the course. ELEC-151. National Electrical Code. 4 Hours (90 Contact Hours). This is a structured class, which emphasizes learning general knowledge of the code book through the study of individual chapters, articles, sections and tables. Heavy emphasis is placed on preparing a student to pass code exams. ELEC-187. Single and Three Phase Motors. 8 Hours (235 Contact Hours). This class begins with the simplest AC motor and progresses through industrial three phase motors. Each student must rebuild three motors commonly found in industry. The student will also learn common troubleshooting techniques and how to use the electrical meters employed in motor troubleshooting and repair. ELEC-207. On-the-Job Training (OJT or OJT Equivalent). Up to 4 Hours (0-195 Contact Hours). Students demonstrating excellent attendance, attitude and mastery of core curriculum competencies may be considered for on-the-job training experience. Through the cooperation of local businesses, students are given the opportunity to apply the skills required for their future career. Class attendance is also required. ELEC-214. Electronics for Electricians. 4 Hours (90 Contact Hours). This course prepares a student to work with electronic switching devices commonly used in digital applications. Troubleshooting standard and digital circuits using electrical meters and o-scopes are emphasized. ELEC-215. Motor Controls. 8 Hours (235 Contact Hours). Fully automated machine operation is taught through wiring basic motor control circuits and incorporating control components which give the automated aspects to machine control. Troubleshooting from machine schematics and application of standard troubleshooting techniques is used throughout the class. ELEC-216. Programmable Logic Controllers. 8 Hours (235 Contact Hours). This course combines both hands-on hard wiring installation of Programmable Logic Controllers and program development required to make production machines operate. Heavy emphasis is placed on troubleshooting the system throughout the course. ELEC-218. Industrial Wiring. 3 Hours (90 Contact Hours). The student will learn to make all conduit bends required for a complete run, tie in single and three phase transformers, and wire out of three phase wye and delta connected panels using industrial wiring methods. InstructionTroubleshooting electrical equipment and installation is covered throughout the course. Standard troubleshooting techniques are employed using blueprints and electrical meters. The first segment covered is residential wiring. In this section, students will learn how to wire a total electric home through classroom and shop wiring assignments. Students will gain hands-on experience in wiring 2x4 studding just like an actual house. Estimating electrical wiring costs from blueprints is also covered. The motors section of training will stress the most common types of motors in industry. An electrician must be proficient in working on a variety of types of motors, as this is what converts electrical power to mechanical motion. Having a thorough working knowledge of the fundamentals of electricity is also equally important. In this class, students will learn what a volt, amp, and ohm is as well as the different characteristics of series and parallel circuits, theory and application of voltage drop, operation of inductive and capacitive type loads, and basic electrical laws applied to a circuit. This is just a sample of the variety of areas covered in this course. Call today for individualized career counselingCoffeyville Community College - Technical Campus Coffeyville Campus |
