Calendar 2004-2005
The on-line version of the University College Calendar is the Official version.
In the event of conflict between the printed version and the online version, the
on-line version will prevail.
Effective date of this course calendar information, unless otherwise indicated, is Sept. 1, 2004 to Aug. 31, 2005.
Automation/Robotics Engineering
Technology
Important Information about this Program: Automation
Engineering Technology has been cancelled. No new students will
be admitted to first year for the Fall 2004 semester. Current
students will be given the opportunity to complete their program
in the 2004/2005 year through the complete offering of second
year courses. No courses will be offered following the Spring 2005
semester, and students requiring further courses to graduate
should speak to an education advisor or the program Chair to
determine how to complete graduation requirements from
Kwantlen University College.
Advanced Manufacturing
Students will study the conventional and advanced manufacturing
principles, methods and applications such as Concurrent
Engineering, Just-in-time Inventory and Production, Group
technology, Flexible Manufacturing System, Computer-Aided
Design/Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAD/CAM) interface,
and will use computer numerical control (CNC) lathes,
manufacturing system control and simulation software.
Data Networking
Students will set up LANs with bridges and routers using Windows
and Linux systems. They will analyze binary bit streams, frames
and data packets on networks. Students will use software tools
including a network analyzer to observe the role of various fields
and packets in controlling communications on the network.
Fundamentals of Control Systems
Students will study the principles, modeling and applications of
industrial control systems using manual techniques and simulation
software such as MATLAB/SIMULINK and will complete lab
experiments on electronic motor speed and position control
equipment.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics
Students will study the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics and
the importance of safety when using hydraulic and pneumatic
devices. They will apply these principles to analyze practical
hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Students will examine the effects
that sizing of components and the selection of specific types of
equipment can have on basic circuit designs. They will
demonstrate their understanding and competence in subject
material through circuit simulation exercises and hands-on labs.
Industrial Processes/Instrumentation
Students will study the conventional and advanced control
strategies and applications in the typical industrial processes such
as pulp and paper, chemical processing and mining. They will
prepare process control and instrumentation drawings with
AutoCAD software, in accordance with the Instrumentation
Systems and Automation Society (ISA) recommended standards
and practices. Students will perform control system simulation and
instrument selection, interface, specification and application.
Circuit Application /PLC
Students will study the programmable logic controller (PLC) and
relay circuit application in industrial process control. They will
apply electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic principles and technology
in their design and analysis of industrial control circuits.
