General Information
This certificate was designed as an extension of the Industrial Electrical Maintenance Certificate or for industrial electrical technicians who wish to expand their knowledge in the employment and application of the microcomputer in the field of automatic control systems.
This certificate concentrates on the setup and programming of intelligent devices used in servomechanisms and in process controls. The laboratory equipment is industrial grade, and lab experiments are designed to give students a replica of real world projects.
Applicants must have a fundamental knowledge in AC and DC circuits, theory and operation and AC and DC machines, motor controls, and basic PLC programming. Students lacking that knowledge should enroll in one or more of the following courses as coordinated with an advisor:
IMC 1150 - DC and AC Circuits
IMC 2100 - Electrical Machine/Controls
IMC 2150 - Control Applications
IMC 2200 - Programmable Logic Controllers
All of the courses in this certificate apply toward Nashville State's A.A.S. degrees in General Technology.
Transfer/Advising
This certificate is designed so that a student can apply all of the required courses toward a Nashville State A.A.S. degree. A student who plans to apply the certificate toward an A.A.S. degree should consult his/her advisor about articulation options.
