This course reviews the fundamental principles of electrical theory as applied to electrical circuits and devices such as resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers. The general topics covered in this unit include the basic electrical quantities and their units of measurement; electrical circuits; electromagnetism and AC currents and voltages.
At the end of the course the student should have basic knowledge of electric current and electronics in order to understand the operation of the fundamental electrical and electronic circuits.
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also include any number of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur).
Instrumentation and Control Engineering (ICE) is a branch of engineering that studies the measurement and control of process variables, and the design and implementation of systems that incorporate them. Process variables include pressure, temperature, humidity, flow, pH, force and speed.
Commonly used Instrumentation Automation systems include Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Distributed Control System (DCS), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
