BACHELOR OF APPLIED TECHNOLOGY - CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY     [CST ] This degree program is designed for students interested in a career in modern electronics technology. Graduates will be prepared to enter the emerging tele-control distributed systems industry from automotive electronics, wireless communications systems, networking, manufacturing mechatronics, to robotics, industrial automation, process control and instrumentation, and will be able to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the program to be an effective member of a cross functional technology team.    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:  Connectivity, information and convergence have become the fundamental characteristics of modern technology. Product life cycles have been reduced from years to months in response to the pressures of global market forces. In order to meet these demands industry has moved to a cross functional technology team model. This program, designed in consultation with industry presents students with the opportunity to enter the emerging tele-control distributed systems industry by providing both contemporary and traditional control systems applied science in the context of three fundamental platform technologies: networking and communications, software engineering and control systems digital and analog electronics. Students will use industry standard software and hardware tools and apply these tools to current industrial design methodology. The program emphasizes critical thinking, team building and generic skills to ensure graduates can function effectively as part of the technology team. Concepts are explained in depth from a theoretical approach at an engineering degree level and an intuitive approach adopted by industry.  AREA OF STUDY:  The first two years of the program provide students with a strong foundation in applied sciences (chemistry, physics), mathematics and laboratory skills. The final years of the program are devoted to developing critical knowledge and advanced practical skills. Areas of study include software development, information technology, communications systems, industrial electronics, servo and motion control systems, process control and instrumentation, digital and analog electronics, microprocessor systems, digital signal processing, and ethics and law. The student will acquire practical experience using industry standard equipment in the School of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology's well equipped laboratories.  SEMESTER 1 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS/WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST101      Mechanics  - - 3/2      CST102      Structured Programming  - - 2/2      CST103      Electrical Fundamentals - - 4/2      CST104      Integration and Differentiation  - - 4/0      ENG106       Writing Strategies  - - 3      LSOxxx       Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3 TOTAL:  25 SEMESTER 2 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CHM300    Chemistry  - - 3/3      CST152    Object Oriented Design  - - 2/2      CST153     Electronics and Devices - - 4/2      CST154     Linear Algebra - - 3/0      CST155    Lab Practice  - - 0/2      LSOxxx     Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3   TOTAL:  2 SEMESTER 3 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST202      Digital Electronics I  - - 3/4      CST203      Applied Discrete Mathematics  - - 3/0      CST204      Structures and Algorithms  - - 2/2      CST205      Differential Equations  - - 4/0    CST201      Analog Electronics    - - 3/3      LSOxxx      Liberal Studies Elective    - - 3 TOTAL:  28 SEMESTER 4 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST251      Kinematics  - - 2/1      CST252       Signals and Systems  - - 5/2      CST253      Thermodynamics  - - 2/2      CST254       Instrumentation and Sensors - - 2/2      CST255      Partial Differential Equations  - - 4/0      LSOxxx       Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3 TOTAL:  24   SEMESTER 5 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST301      Electronics and Design I - - 1/4      CST302      Fields and Waves - - 3/2      CST303      Control Systems - - 3/2    CST304      AC and DC Motors and Controls  - - 3/2    CST305      Communications Systems  - - 3/2     LSOxxx       Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3   TOTAL:  28   SEMESTER 6 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST351      Data Acquisition and Digital Control - - 3/2      CST352      Digital Electronics II Microprocessors  - - 2/2      CST353      Data Communications I - - 3/2      CST354      Industrial Electronics  - - 2/4      CST355      Servo Control Systems  - - 2/2     CPP600       Co-op Professional Practice  - - 2/0     LSOxxx       Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3 TOTAL:  29   SEMESTER 7 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab)     CST401      Digital Signal Processing  - - 3/2      CST402      Data Communications II - - 3/2      CST403      Power Electronics  - - 3/2      CST404      Electronics Design II  - - 1/4      CPP700       Co-op Integration and Career Planning  - - 2/0      LSOxxx       Liberal Studies Elective  - - 3 TOTAL:  24   SEMESTER 8 SUBJECT NAME HOMEPAGE HRS / WK (Lecture/Lab) CST451      Advanced Topics in Automation  - - 2/2  CST452      Wireless Control Systems  - - 2/2 CST453      Network Controls - - 0/4   CST455      Process Control  - - 2/2   CST456      Ethics and the Law  - - 3/0   CST454       Design Project  - - 2/2 TOTAL:  23   |  OUR CURRICULUM   |  ECT   |  ELCB   |  ELCC   | ELCM   |  ELM   |  ELN |  AED   |   EMD   | OPTIONS  |
