This course introduces to the principles of software applications including Windows, Word, Excel, and MATLAB. Students will learn to create, edit, and manipulate documents, spreadsheets, and other files to create a technical paper. They will also learn how to implement advanced math operations including matrix manipulation using MATLAB commands and creating M files. Students will be able to graph data in multiple plots, and save and read data to and from a file. Students will be able to perform electronic research and communication. The knowledge gained will be applied towards a mini-project, and will be applied in subsequent specialized courses.
Through team-based projects, research on employers, and discussions about the EET program, students will gain insight into the work required and skills needed for a career in Electrical Engineering Technology. This course will provide students with an opportunity to assess their level of interest and to find out if EET is the right fit for them.
The objective of this mathematics course is to enable students to gain a working knowledge of basic mathematical concepts and to develop essential manipulation and application skills necessary to be successful in technological fields. This is a hand-on course; a large portion of the time will be invested in using and applying the concepts acquired through lectures. The material covered will include basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. This course is accepted as a pre-requisite for the first semester mathematics course in Electrical Engineering Technology.
In this course, students learn study skills and success strategies for school. Topics include note taking, study skills, test preparation, goal setting, and stress management.
Physics for Electrical Technology focuses on the preparatory physics required to learn science in technology. This course covers concepts and basic calculations in mechanics, electrostatics, and magnetism. Major topics include units, vectors, linear kinematic concepts, rotational kinematic concepts, basic forces, introductory concepts of Newton’s Laws of Motion, work and energy, charges, electric forces, electric fields, and electric potential. Material is learned through a combination of lectures and problems to be solved. This course is accepted as a pre-requisite for Physics I.
This General Safety Training (GST) teaches basic general safety content to arm students with the core information necessary for them to protect themselves in workplaces on all descriptions. Although some examples may consider Manitoba legislation, this course has been developed by occupational safety and health professionals using generic information that is not provincially specific.
This course introduces students to basic hand tools and the skills required for the day to day work of the technologist. In this hands-on course, students learn to solder and how to remove soldered components. Students learn about electrical safety, basic electrical wiring, cables, and connectors. Students will also practice the use and care of basic hand tools and basic measuring instruments.
