Course Department: Electromechanical Tech. under Computer Eng. Tech.(CET)
Credit: 1 Credit, 3 Lab Hours/wk
Course Description: The student is trained in the proper selection and use of various hand and machine tools used in the assembly, testing and maintenance of electromechanical equipment and devices. Students construct their own digital trainers for use in analyzing integrated circuits.
Prerequisites: None
Textbook: A Lab Manual and other course-related materials will be provided.
Goal: The student constructs, wires and tests several electronic circuits that will be made into a Digital Trainer which will be used in EMT 1250L – Digital Controls Laboratory.
Objectives: The student will learn:
- proper selection and safe use of basic hand tools and simple bench tools
- how to perform the following procedures:
ü drilling
ü reaming
ü fastening
ü filing
ü sheet metal work
ü soldering
ü making electrical connections, and
ü replacing components.
Topics: 1. Measurements and Tools (1 session)
- Wiring and Soldering (1session)
- Digital Trainer Construction – Bottom section (2 sessions)
- Digital Trainer Construction – Top section (2 sessions)
- Power Supply wiring (1 session)
- LEDs and Driver wiring (1 session)
- DPDT Data switch wiring (1 session)
- Switch Debouncer circuit wiring (2 sessions)
- Logic probe wiring (1 session)
- 555 Timer circuit wiring (1 session)
- Final assembly and testing (2 sessions)
Computer Usage: Some (for PCB development exercises)
Laboratory Projects: Listed above with the use of a sheer, box and pan brake, drill press and turret punch.
Oral Communication Requirements: Orally describe fabrication of the
digital trainer.
Mathematics Usage: Understand basic measurement concepts/units
Library Usage: Students are encouraged to use the library as a supplement to
the lectures and laboratory manual.
Materials: Tools and parts to be purchased are listed in the lab manual.
Grade: The final grade will be determined as follows:
Mechanical Construction 20%
Electrical Circuit wiring 55%
Final Assembly & Testing 25%
Total 100%
Attendance: You are allowed a MAXIMUM of 10% absence. In this course 10% of 45 hours is 4.5 hours – your maximum absence. You are late if you arrive after attendance is called at the beginning of class. Two latenesses = 1 absence. If you are more than half hour late for class, you are considered absent.
Continuous Improvement: Students are encouraged to be reflective in building the Digital Trainer, incorporating the Color Code system, fuses, etched boards, and unique designs on the box. Student will use this Knowledge in EMT 2461.
Additional general info: Student is expected to be familiar with all college policies as: listed online in http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/aboutus/collegePolicies.shtml and on the student handbook, in addition to regularly checking their CityTech e-mail for any notices or updates pertaining to any specific course enrolled in or anything else that relates to their academic status in the college. These policies are to be followed.
