Course Description:
This course provides students the means to understand and apply final control element mechanisms that do the work in typical industrial control applications. The theory of operation and maintenance of valves, pneumatic actuators, and positioners will be taught. Lab courses will be tailored to rebuilding and calibration of various types of these continuous throttling assemblies.
Motor operated actuators with microprocessor based controls and advanced diagnostic features are widely used for process control. The theory of operation, configuration, and troubleshooting of problematic occurrences will be taught.
Prerequisite: EIT233, EIT315, EIT368, EIT323, and EIT333, or instructors’ approval.
Outcome:

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 30 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 the deduct for tardiness (1.5%) and unexcused absence (3%). The approximate point totals are as follows:
Quizzes: 779 points23%
Final: 243 points7%
Homework: 1735 points52%
Labs: 600 points18%
There are periodic surprise exams that can cover videos, lectures, chapters in textbook, or labs procedures that will add to the total points.

“I” – Students may receive a final report of “I”, or incomplete, if they have completed at least ¾ of the course with a grade of “C” or better, but are unable to complete the class for good cause. You must arrange for the incomplete with your instructor and acknowledge the statement of work you must complete to receive a final grade. You have until March 15th for Fall Semesters and October25th for Spring and Summer Semesters to complete the work for the final grade. An incomplete not made up within this time period will have a grade assigned by the instructor, which could be and “F” or “W”.
“W” - Students may opt for withdrawal up to the 13th week of classes. It is your responsibility to withdraw formally from a course. Instructors have the option of assigning a failing grade for unofficial withdrawals. The “W” is not used in computing your cumulative grade-point average. It will appear, however, on your transcript, and will always be a permanent part of it. Veterans who withdraw from classes after the official add/drop period may experience penalties, and may be required to pay back all or part of the benefits received for that course. If you are veteran contemplating changes in enrollment, you should get the advice of the Director of Student Financial Services.
Extra Credit:
Each 1 hour of extra credit work will be credited to the final grade 25 points, i.e., 8 hours of extra credit will improve the final grade by 200 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. Absenteeism and tardiness will reflect on the final grade. Three absences will be an F, whether excused or unexcused. Tardiness will count as one-half of an absence. Each absence will reduce the final grade by 3%. 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
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.
