COURSE OUTLINE

ECT 223L: Schematics and Diagrams

Credits and Contact Hrs. (Lecture/Laboratory): 1 credit, 3 contact hours per week.

Course Description: Procedures, standards and symbols used on electronic circuit diagrams. Introduction to schematic capture using a CAD system. Three hours of laboratory a week.

Prerequisites: ECT 120.Understanding of the practical concepts of AC circuits.

Co-Requisites: None.

Textbook: Baer, Charles J.; Ottoway, John R. Electrical And Electronics Drawing. 4th Edition McGraw Hill. 1986.

References: None

Course Coordinator: Douglas A. Hanneman, Professor

Goals/Objectives:  To familiarize the student with electrical symbols electronic symbols and fundamental electronic CAD drawing techniques. The general experience gained in computer literacy in this course will pay off later in the second electronic CAD course. The software used in this course is now Personal Designer by Computer Vision. The networked system of Unix based Sun 386i computers allows the course to be operated without any paper exchange between instructor and student. 

Course topics and lecture hours devoted to each topic:  

  • Beginning CAD techniques, introduction to menu command structure and use of a mouse. (3 hrs.)
  • General drawing techniques, to include lines and circles, start work on the first drawing assignment which involve two dimensional figures. (3 hrs.)
  • Three dimensional drawing, to include multiple construction planes. (3 hrs.)
  • Device symbols, which involves schematic drawings including a border, title block and standard R, C, L, and transistor symbols. (3 hrs.)
  • Wiring/cabling and chassis wiring. (3 hrs.)
  • Printed circuit board drawing. (3 hrs.)
  • Logic diagrams. (3 hrs.)
  • Schematic diagrams. (3 hrs.)
  • Microelectronics. (3 hrs.)
  • Industrial controls. (3 hrs.)
  • Electrical power. (3 hrs.)
  • Architectural electrical plans. (3 hrs.)
  • Data tables and graphs. (3 hrs.) 
    •

    Computer usage: Students do all work on a networked system of computers. 

    Oral and written: communication requirements: None 

    Calculus usage: None 

    Library usage: None
