1.0 Course Description

A study of energy sources, energy conversion, power production, power transmission, and applications of power. Emphasis will be on the application of energy to manufacturing, construction, domestic and
municipal power technology. Students will be able to experience and see actual commercially available products and processes in addition to leading edge alternative energy sources.
2.0 Intended Learning Outcomes of the Course
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Understand the working principle and construction of transformer.
2. Understand emf equation and transformation ratio of transformer.
3. Understand losses, efficiency and voltage regulation of transformer.
4. Apply the principle of impedance transformation and equivalent circuit of transformer.
5. Understand principle of rotating electrical machines.
6. Illustrate DC motor and understand its characteristics.
7. Understand the principle of induction motor.
8. Understand synchronous motor.
9. Explain, connect and operate electrical contactors to control AC or DC motors.
10. Explain and give examples for energy sources, energy conversion, power production, power transmission, and power applications.
11. Define and calculate energy, power, work, horsepower, mechanical advantage, energy conversion efficiency ratio.
12. Explain the flow of electrons through a lead acid battery.
13. Describe the function of photocells, solar absorber plates, and thermocouples.
14. Visually identify ten hydraulic and pneumatic components.
15. Calculate an output force, given and output cylinder area, input force, and cylinder area for either a hydraulic or pneumatic system.
