Electric power transmission and distribution technology


A. Program educational objectives for electric energy transmission and distribution technology program


The Electrical Energy Transmission & Distribution Technology program goal is to equip the student with the mind tools and knowledge to be able to perform the tasks expected from an electrical energy technician. The program educational objectives (PEO) are designed with this aim in mind in addition to enabling the student to operate and communicate professionally in the work environment. The following are the PEOs:

1.     Demonstrate broad knowledge of electrical engineering technology practices to support design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of electric power transmission & distribution equipment. [PEO1]

2.     Apply basic mathematical and scientific principles for technical problem solving in areas that may include circuit analysis of both analog and digital electronics, microprocessors programmable logic controls, and electrical machines. [PEO2]

3.     Use computers and software in a technical environment. [PEO3]

4.     Demonstrate competence in written and oral communication. [PEO4]

5.     Work effectively as an individual and as a member of a multidisciplinary team. [PEO5]

6.     Show awareness of social concerns and professional responsibilities in the workplace. . [PEO6]

7.     Continue their professional training and adapt to changes in the workplace, through additional formal or informal education. [PEO7]

 

B. Students outcomes as specified from ABET

 

The student outcomes are broken into performance indicators (PIs) to help instructors understand, evaluate, and assess each outcome based on specific course requirements. Below is each student outcome with its PIs.   

1.     An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline. [SO1]

a.     Apply knowledge, skills and techniques of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve engineering technology problems.

b.     Use modern tools to effectively solve problems.

 

2.     an ability to design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline. [SO2]

b.     Design solutions for well-defined technical problems.

c.     Assist with engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline.

 

3.     An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature. [SO3]

a.     Construct clear and effective documents including written reports.

b.     Deliver effective oral presentation.

c.     Identify and use appropriate technical literature.

 

4.     An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results. [SO4]

a.     Follow laboratory/workshop best practice.

b.     Conduct standard tests/ measurements/experiments.

c.     Analyze experimental data.

d.     Interpret the results.

 

5.     an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team. [SO5]

ABET recommend additional program criteria outcome (PCO) for each program seeking accreditation from the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET that it "must demonstrate that it satisfies all Program Criteria implied by the program title" for electrical engineering associate degree: "Graduates of associate degree programs must demonstrate knowledge and hands-on competence appropriate to the objectives of the program in:

 

PCO1. Application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems.

  PCO2. Application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems.

AWARD

DIPLOMA


PROGRAM  DESCRIPTION:

The Electrical Engineering Technology Department combines engineering knowledge with teclmical skills to emphasize practical application rather than theory and design.

The department offers specialization in Electrical Machinery Technology (EEM) and Electrical Energy Transmission & Distribution (EEP). The two offered programs will impart a basic understanding of electrical generation and conversion built on a foundation of electrical theory and technology. Areas  of concentration focus on electric machinery & drive systems, test operations, power generation, transmission and distribution, industrial control, instrnmentation, analog circuits, and power electronics.

 

 

PRE-REQUISITES:

Applicants must be secondary school leavers or holders of an equivalent certificate obtained in the previous two years.

 

 

PROGRAM  OUTCOMES:

On successful completion of the program the graduate will acquire:

 

a. an ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modem tools of the discipline to narrnwly defined engineering technology activities;

b. an ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology  to  engineering  technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;

c. an ability to conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;

d. an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;

e. an ability to identify, analyze, and solve narrnwly defined engineering technology problems:

f. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both teclmical and non-technical environments: and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;

g.   an tmderstanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;

h. an understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity; and

i. a conm.Litment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
