CSF453 - Control Systems Fundamentals

This course covers the fundamentals of control systems. It covers the basic principles for designing and controlling simple mechanical, electrical and fluid systems. The fundamental concept of control system theory is covered.

The course introduces various control systems including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a complex mechatronic system.  Examples are given using the automation system SIMATIC S7 and the related programming software TIA portal/STEP7.

Using computer simulation, students will learn the role the control system (PLC) plays within a mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by writing small programs and testing these programs on an actual system (2 axis gripper pick and place unit). Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs hardware, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems caused by PLC software.

ECP455 - Engineering Codes and Practices

This course covers the fundamentals of regional, national and global standards and regulations, conformity assessment, and various certification agencies. Students will learn safe working practices through health and safety legislation examples using the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and numerous regulations. A broad range of electrical and mechanical hazards will be explored in the course, using relevant examples from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), International Electro technical Commission (IEC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The application of electrical safety, shock, and fire hazard standards will be demonstrated and explained in a laboratory environment for actual product assessment, testing and approval using the Model Code for the Field Evaluation of Electrical Equipment (SPE-1000-21).

NSP655 - Network Servers and Peripherals

This course introduces the student to virtualized multi-OS network environments with emphasis on operating system configuration, troubleshooting, network service administration and maintenance.  Specific topics include Fedora Linux installation and configuration as a virtualized OS environment, virtualization architectures, network services implementation and interoperability in multi-OS (with Windows/Windows Server OS) network environments, backup systems, printer systems, network attached storage systems and network security.

In conjunction with the microcomputer repair course MIR355 and operating system/networking knowledge from other courses in the program, this course also prepares students for SMB (small and medium business) network consulting and Linux administration.

PRG455 - Event Driven Programming

This subject continues on from PRG 355 (OOP using C++) and introduces the student to the Visual C# programming language. The course covers the fundamental principles of the event-driven programming.

PRG 455 covers the essential programming concepts supported by the Visual C# programming language, including: object-oriented programming, user-defined data types, delegates and events, file I/O,  exception handling, database management.   Various Windows Forms Application projects will be designed. The course will introduce the fundamental concepts of the event-driven and visual programming. Visual Studio .NET will be used as the integrated development environment. The interaction between Visual C# and various DBMS packages will be introduced.

TEC400 - Technical Communications

This subject introduces technical communication through the analysis of scenarios and sample documents, with opportunities to write audience-centered correspondence and reports. Students learn to edit their documents to achieve accuracy, clarity, conciseness, directness, and coherence. Students also use research and documentation skills to convey technical information, such as instructions and descriptions, in reports and demonstrate effective oral communication and/or collaboration skills.

CPP200 - Work Integrated Learning Professional Practice

The integration of classroom activities with work term experiences is vital for the complete and successful learning and understanding of co-of work term experiences. Structured integration and reflective learning with peers provide the opportunity to make sense out of work experiences, to put these experiences into broader perspectives, and to internalize learning.

CWT200 - Work Term II

Co-operative education combines academic study with an employment work term. The employment is a practical application directed towards the student's academic course of study. The co-operative education student is paid for their work experience, which is supervised and evaluated by a Registered Optician, Optometrist or Ophthalmologist whom must be registered with the College of Opticians as a Contact Lens Mentor. The Cooperative Education Coordinator will liaise with and/or visit co-operative education students while in the field, subject to geographic location.
 
Co-operative education gives students an opportunity to test skills learned in the classroom and expand their knowledge through related work experience. Employers are a key partner in this process and will be asked to evaluate the student's performance while in the field.
