Courses

Designed to provide graduate students with the opportunity to gain specialized technology education. Chemistry (CHEM)

This seminar course is designed for the final semester of a degree or certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Projects will include individual and group studies of GIS applications using the skills acquired in previous courses. The student will produce a professional project and present the results to a panel consisting of peers, instructors, and/or practicing GIS professionals.

Independent study.

Problems involving the application and integration of robotic design, remote control of robots, and programming robots for autonomous control. This is the second of two courses that constructs and programs a robot to compete in the ATMAE annual robotics contest. The educational objectives are to gain proficiency in research, design, team work and project management.

CBA 350. Problems involving the application and integration of electronics, industrial safety, quality, industrial management, and/or computer integrated manufacturing technology. This may include an industrial practicum and/or internship.

Teaches advanced process control skills to include Process control drawings, PID control, advanced loops and tuning, Process controllers, DCS systems, and SCADA systems. The student will be introduced to the fundamentals, devices and methods use in todays advanced process systems.

Application of modern control theory to chemical processes; multivariable control; estimation and adaptive control, optimal control.

Application of economic principles and valuation techniques from projects to entire companies; background in debt, equity, cost of capital, and determination of a company-specific discount rate; development of financial models which include risk and uncertainty; foundation for consideration in a career in management with significant financial responsibility.

Upon completion, students will be able to demonstrate their ability to develop programs, load programs into real-world PLCs, and troubleshoot the system if necessary. Emphasis is placed on analog programming, designing complete working systems, start-up and troubleshooting techniques, and special projects. Topics include plant safety, piping and instrument diagrams, pressures, levels, flows and temperature, and loops designed to function in real time.
