This course aims to enhance students' technical communication skills, covering topics such as grammar, punctuation, and the preparation of various technical documents with proper citation, as well as critique codes of ethics, professional obligations, and apply sustainability principles to technical projects, while also providing opportunities for students to develop public speaking and presentation skills.
Students will learn about the importance of lubrication, operating principles of pumps and compressors, and the procedures for maintenance of bearings and related lubrication systems. The students will gain experience safely using common hand tools, mechanical fasteners, and hoisting equipment, as well as the basic principles of troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems.
This course covers the theory behind materials, welding, mechanics, electricity, instrumentation, and controls. Students will also be introduced to hands on, practical aspects of these topics, allowing them to succeed in an integrated operations and maintenance team.
This course is the work integrated learning component of the Power Engineering program to be completed at an approved facility. Students will operate power and pressure equipment safely and efficiently, assess hazards, and comply with legislative acts and regulations while developing interpersonal and communication skills in real world environments.
This course introduces power engineering students to refrigeration, HVAC, and heating/cooling systems, covering the principles, maintenance, and operation of various components and control systems strategies.
In this course, students will learn about the jurisdictional legislation, codes, and standards for power engineers, as well as plant safety and environmental considerations. They will also gain knowledge of general plant safety, including safety programs, procedures for handling dangerous materials, and fire safety, as well as the environmental impact of plant operation.
This course covers the fundamental aspects of boiler safety, operations, water treatment, and building systems. This material will include pressure relief valves, safety controls, efficient boiler procedures, water treatment, drainage, lighting, and steam-related processes.
This course covers various topics related to power engineering such as boiler designs, components, and operation. The course will also cover different types of piping, valve designs, plant sketches, and communication systems.
This course provides an overview of elementary mechanics and dynamics, as well as elementary chemistry and thermodynamics, covering topics such as forces, moments, equilibrium, velocity, power, and energy, as well as properties of materials, stress and deformation, power transmission systems, and thermodynamics principles.
This course covers foundational mathematical topics relevant to engineering technologies such as algebraic manipulation, trigonometry, geometry, exponents, logarithms, and functions as well as basic linear algebra concepts. It aims to improve problem-solving and critical thinking skills and prepare students for studies in calculus and applied engineering physics.
