Spring 2026 Laboratory Lecture Distance Learning Upper Division
This course examines the concepts, devices and common practices associated with control systems with a primary focus on industrial implementations. Additionally, the course provides a hierarchical examination of the implantation of control theory. Programmable logic controllers serve as the primary platform for presenting applications in interfacing and control of electromechanical and pneumatic devices. Electrical industrial safety standards are presented and emphasized throughout the course.
Learning Outcomes1Demonstrate an understanding of common electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical safety standards and practices.
2Identify, describe, and compute the parameters of key functional blocks of a basic control system.
3Describe, interpret and implement control scenarios in ladder logic, flow chart and programmatic forms.
4Construct, program and trouble shoot basic control circuits and systems using programmable logic controllers.
