ENGI-1082Electricity, Instrumentation and Control
In this introductory course the student will learn and apply principles of electrical theory-from alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), through to magnetism and electromagnetism-and will become conversant with its associated terminology, symbols and types of diagrams related to the production, distribution and operation of electrical components and systems. They will problem-solve and perform calculations such as current, voltage, resistance, and power/power factor, and examine relationships among them, which are fundamental to many technical applications in industry.
In Instrumentation and Controls the students will learn the overall purpose and functions of plant instrumentation, the construction and operation of common measuring devices, describe basic types of transmitters, recorders, controllers, and actuators, describe the design and operation of electronic and electrical control systems.
