Industrial Control
Systems
Industrial Control Systems provides for a study of components, circuits, instruments and control techniques used with Industrial
Automated Systems. Students will develop skills sets which enable the integration of: electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics
and computer controls. The focus of study is on two main areas, one is control techniques for industrial components, such as electric
motors, variable-speed drives, programmable logic controllers, servomechanisms and sensors. The second area of concentration is
the computer system itself, this will allow the student to have an understanding of how to repair, upgrade, or network a complete
computer system, both hardware and software. The intent of this program is to prepare the student to deal with a broad concept of
automation technology. The diverse educational training provides for a host of integrated skills that can be applied in a variety of job
contexts to include: green energy technology, electronics, medical, manufacturing, and production.
