IND-104 - INDUSTRIAL PUMPS

Lecture: 0.5

Lab: 1

Credit: 1

This course discusses the principles and applications of centrifugal pumps. Students will learn centrifugal pump construction, uses, system properties, monitoring, and troubleshooting techniques. Students will also learn the skills they need to select, operate, install, maintain and repair the many different types of pumps used in industry.

IND-106 - MACHINE SHOP II

Lecture: 1

Lab: 2

Credit: 2

This course introduces students to the basics of calculating cutting speeds and feeds for machining ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastics materials on the lathe. It also demonstrates the fundamentals of mounting a chuck on an engine lathe and truing a work piece in a chuck and introduces students to the three methods of facing work to length in a chuck. The course will show students how to straight turn a work-piece to two concentric diameters in a four-jaw independent chuck. Students will learn the correct procedures for taking both roughing and finishing cuts. They will also learn to turn between centers. Finally, students will learn the proper method of finishing one end of work to one diameter, reversing the work in the chuck, and finishing the other end to another diameter. It will demonstrate how to perform four internal machining operations on the engine lathe; drilling, boring, counter-boring, and reaming.

IND-107 - VALVES

Lecture: 1

Credit: 1

This course gives students a fundamental understanding of the various shutoff valve constructions including wedge, ball, plug, globe, pinch, and diaphragm types, basic maintenance techniques, and the sources of many problems. From this foundation, students will be better able to develop maintenance skills through plant training programs or on-the-job experiences. The course also provides basic guidelines for installing various types of shutoff valves.

IND-141 - POWER TRANSMISSION

Lecture: 1

Lab: 2

Credit: 2

This course discusses the fundamentals of mechanical transmission systems used in industry. Students will learn industrial skills on how to operate, install, analyze performance, and design basic mechanical transmission systems using chains, v-belts, spur gears, bearings, and couplings.

Lecture: 1

Lab: 2

Credit: 2

This course is designed to help students understand the evolution of the boiler system from the first century to modern day and understand the principles and applications of steam traps. This course will provide an overview of the operation of the boiler plate system, beginning with basic principles of steam energy and boiler plate design. This course will describe steam, steam trapping and different types of steam traps including sizing, installation and monitoring.

IND-180 - INDUSTRIAL HEATING AND COOLING

Lecture: 1

Lab: 2

Credit: 2

This course is designed to help students understand the fundamentals of HVAC & R. The students will learn chiller, air handler, cooling tower, and condenser operations as well as how to perform basic preventative maintenance tasks. The course also shows how preventative maintenance practices can be used in troubleshooting common HVAC & R problems.
