Course Outline:
This skills curricula provides trainees with the courseware materials required to enable them to perform the tasks associated with either an Instrumentation and Process Control Technician or an Automated Equipment Engineer / Technician. This print-based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements set forth in the standards established by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT). The Automated Equipment Engineer /Technician curriculum targets the service and maintenance requirements for an automated, technology-based facility that uses instrumentation and process control systems. When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area. The training programs for both industrial positions start with pre-technical foundation skills courses. They progress to AC/DC fundamentals, electric motors, basic electronics, electronics testing and troubleshooting, digital circuits/microprocessors, industrial controllers and process control instrumentation, and mechanical systems courses. As referenced in the sequential course outline, it is recommended that the Automated Equipment Engineer / Technician receive supplemental technical training in electrical equipment, troubleshooting electronic components and circuits, and power transmission systems. Upon completion of this curriculum, students will be able to:
  • Use the related principles and application appropriate to the electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic skill areas in the installation, operation and maintenance of instrumentation and process control systems.
  • Maintain the common types of electrical motors and motor controllers, generators, and transformers.
  • Demonstrate use of the main types of measuring instruments.
  • Describe the major control systems found in industry.
  • Identify electronic logic, pulse, linear, and digital integrated circuits.
  • Use test instruments for troubleshooting electro-mechanical instrumentation and process control systems.
  • Isolate and correct problems interfacing with microprocessor/computer control systems.
  • Apply troubleshooting techniques to complex electronic components and systems.
  • Use the skills required for the maintaining and operating the components found in a basic mechanical power transmission system.
