Course Description:

This course is designed to demonstrate the importance of accurate and reliable measurements in process control systems. It covers how we deal practically with inaccuracies and the methods to minimize the downside effects of inadequate measurement systems. Excel spreadsheets will be utilized as a tool for use in quality control evaluation.

Assignments/Content/Schedule:

Class meets twice a week, focusing on the measurement of process variable and the importance of accurate and reliable measurements. Lab work is part of each session, with hands-on activity in the demonstration of these principles. This course includes lecture, class discussion, and laboratory activities. Students will gain knowledge and mastery in the identification of measurement inadequacies. Steps will be covered in each class as to how to eliminate or to minimize these shortfalls.

Evaluation and Grades:

Grade values are as follows: A- Superior 4.0, B -Above Average 3.0, C- Average 2.0, D- Below Average 1.0, F- Failure 0.0 I- Incomplete, W- Withdrawal Late assignments will be given a 100 point deduction for each class period turned in late. Assignments are due at beginning of class.

Evaluation of student performance will be based on a percentage of the point totals for homework, labs, exams, EIT233 Final, and extra credit. There is also a deduct for tardiness 30 points and unexcused absence 100 points. The approximate point totals are as follows:

Quizzes: 510 24% Final: 365 17% Homework: 680 31% Labs: 600 28% Total: 2155

There are periodic surprise exams that can cover videos, lectures, chapters in textbook, or labs procedures that will add to the total points.

Student Responsibility:

In this course as in the workplace, students must attend class and turn assignments in on time. Attendance will be taken daily and will count toward the final grade. All assignments must meet designated deadlines (no late assignments). Late assignments will be accepted only by prior arrangements. If a class must be missed, the student must notify the instructor in advance. Because this is a lab-oriented course, student participation is essential. All students must observe school policies on attendance and conduct.

NO CELL PHONES, MP3 PLAYERS, CD PLAYERS ECT. WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE CLASS ROOM OR THE LAB EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE INSTRUCTOR.

COMPUTER DOWNLOADS: ONLY CLASS APPROVED DOWNLOADS ARE PERMITTED. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE DOWNLOADS THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED; MUSIC, PICTURES, CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS (FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ETC.).

FIRST OFFENSE: 20% REDUCTION IN GRADE FOR THAT CLASS SECOND OFFENSE: CLASS FAILURE

NO CELL PHONES, MP3 PLAYERS, CD PLAYERS ECT. WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE CLASS ROOM OR THE LAB EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE INSTRUCTOR.

ADA Statement: GBC supports providing equal access for students with disabilities. An advisor is available to discuss appropriate accommodations with students. Please contact the ADA Officer (Julie Byrnes) in Elko at 775.753.2271 at your earliest convenience to request timely and appropriate accommodations.

Academic Honesty: Plagiarism Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s own. When a student submits work that includes the words, ideas, or data of others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific references. Suspected copying or cheating on any lab, quiz, final, or homework assignment may necessitate that the student will need to demonstrate to the instructor in a separate evaluation that he/she understands the subject.

MTC Scholarship Students The sponsors would like to know when a student's final grade for any class falls below a "C". When this happens Bret Murphy will be notified and he will communicate this information to the appropriate sponsor. The policy on absenteeism is 3 absences per semester, and on the third absence a notification will be sent to their sponsor, and the sponsor will determine the appropriate course of action.

Safety: All students participating in laboratory activities at school or on site will be required to review and sign Electrical Technology GBC Safety Procedures. No student use of laboratory /tools will be allowed unless authorized supervision is present or special permission has been granted by the instructor. Safety glasses and closed toed shoes are required in the lab at all times even if work is only at Engineering Work Stations.

Disabilities :

GBC supports providing equal access for students with disabilities. An advisor is available to discuss appropriate accommodations with students. Please contact the ADA Officer (Julie Byrnes at 775.753.2271 at your earliest convenience to request timely and appropriate accommodations.
