Certificate in Advanced Microprocessors
The certificate program in advanced microprocessors provides the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to enable you to use microprocessors in industrial applications. Some highlights of the course sequence include introduction to and use of Visual Basic in electronic simulations and calculations; theoretical and laboratory applications of digital logic circuits, operational amplifiers, D/A and A/D converters, computer memory circuits; microprocessor assembly language programming; EEPROM and EPROM programming; 16/32-bit microprocessor theory and applications; I/O using both 8- and 16/32-bit microprocessors; experimental applications; and applied, practical projects.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, you will understand the operation of microprocessors; be able to design and construct a microprocessor-based circuit; be able to program a microprocessor in assembly language, Visual Basic, or C; and be able to use your designed circuit to control or monitor the operation of an industrial process.
Certificate in Computer Controlled Systems
This certificate program provides theory and experiments on computer-controlled system design and implementation. Three methods of computer control—programmable logic controller (PLC); General Purpose Interface Bus system (GPIB, HPIB, or IEEE 488); and microcontroller-based systems—are studied. Highlights of the course sequence include data acquisition using low- and high-level languages, control-variable measurement using sensors, D/A and A/D conversions, ladder diagrams, design of pneumatic- and hydraulic-controlled systems, sampling and reconstruction, z transform, stability-analysis techniques, comparisons of continuous and discrete time-controlled systems, and open- and closed-loop controlled systems.
Upon satisfactory completion of this certificate program, you will be able to build your own computer-controlled system using a PLC, a GPIB, or a microcontroller.
Certificate in Computer Networking
This certificate program in computer networking provides the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to enable you to work with computer operating systems, data communication and network equipment, networking protocols, network system administration, local area networks, wide area networks, and network security.
Certificate in Electronic Communications
This certificate program provides theory and experiments for electronic communications topics ranging from low-frequency applications to fiber optics. It includes courses in analog communications (AM and FM), digital communications (satellite communications and digital TV), microwaves (high-frequency communications), and fiber optics. Computer programs such as SPICE, ACOLADE (digital communications), SYSCAD (analog communications), TOUCHSTONE (RF and microwave systems), and Microwave Office are incorporated into the curriculum.
Upon satisfactory completion of this certificate program, you will be familiar with all aspects of electronic communication and will have a technical background for work in any of the areas.
