SCIT Catalog logic program In order to achieve a defined goal. For example, students learn to program a PLC to drive a conveyor belt at a specific speed after receiving an input (like pressing a button). The conveyor will carry a block to a specific end point at which time another process will begin. Students may also explore animal projects to replicate lifelike movement of living things. • Motor Control: The Electric Motor Lab contains multiple sensors that train students on various control techniques commonly used with multiple types of electric motors, such as speed control. Students gain hands-on experience with a range of motors including AC, DC, dual voltage repulsion, 3- pins se, synch ran ousand more. • Pneumatics: The Pneumatics Lab is a series of steel racks containing an arrangement of various pneumatic valves and regulator devices to train students how to control pneumatic -based mechanics with PLCs. The lab includes a range of different valves and regulators to familiarize students with the type of motions that can be achieved with pneumatic devices. The Pneumatics Lab introduces students to various techniques for controlling solenoid valves, which include the use of PLC units to send appropriate signals. • Programmable Logic Controllers(PLC): The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Lab contains multiple workstations equipped with computers, PLC units and other interfacing devices to train students how to program and upload ladder logic code. Students gain hands-on experience with RSLogix software, which provides a graphical interface representing conditional computer programming functions such as if/else statements. The lab Is based primarily on the Allen Bradley family of Programmable Logic Controllers, which are widely used in factories and other settings. • Residential Wiring: The Residential Wiring Lab Is a wood - framed environment consisting of 70+ lab stations where students install wiring and electrical devices consistent with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Students gain hands-on experience with panels, breakers, receptacle switches, motion sensors, timers, fluorescent lighting, recessed lighting and much more. The lab is designed to mimic real -world jobsites where safety standards are strictly enforced. The lab familiarizes students with NEC standards as they pertain to residential buildings. • Robotic Systems: The Robotics Systems Lab is an arrangement of numerous robotic arms and Industrial devices such as conveyor belts and sensors. The lab simulates small manufacturing lines by requiring the use of multiple electromechanical Inputs to Invoke a controlled sequence of outputs. Students gain hands-on experience interfacing robotic systems with computers and PLC units to produce specific motion based on Inputs received from various sensors. • Semiconductors: The Semiconductors Lab contains multiple trainers and oscilloscopes where students learn about the applications and functions of electronic components used in analog circuits. Students gain hands-on experience with electronic components and analog circuitry designs such as field effect transistors, common source amplifiers, source follower amplifiers, MOSFETs and pulse generators. For example, students learn to build a square wave pulse generator, which could be used as a clock for applications involving processors such as those in a computer, using circuitry components such as diodes, capacitors, resistors and op -amps. Solar and Wind: The Solar Power Lab Is an outdoor environment composed of numerous solar panel cells that gives students hands-on experience with installation techniques for solar panels. This lab is part of a seminar series that is available for students In specific programs, so they can become familiar with and gain the skills needed for solar panel installation. LIBRARY It is the mission of SCIT's library to support the curricular and professional needs of the students, faculty, and administration by continuously developing, acquiring and maintaining Information resources and services. The college continues to expand its core materials In order to make the library experience more beneficial for the students. A professional librarian is available to help students and faculty with research projects and other Information needs. The SCIT library has over 3500 books, 500 reference books and multiple magazines and periodicals available for students and faculty to check out. Our collection includes reference material in the areas related to the subject matter taught at the school including business and engineering titles. The library Is open from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Students can borrow books for a period of one week at a time. The late fee for book returns is $0.20 per day for books not returned prior to the due date. If the book is not returned after 30 days, the student will be charged for the book, If students require resources from external libraries, they may submit a request to the school librarian to obtain such resources ("external resources"). Requests for external resources are reviewed on a case by case basis and may take up to 4 weeks to complete. The school does not guarantee that it will be able to secure external resources from other libraries. There is no additional charge to secure external resources; however, there may be additional charges for external resources that are not returned to the school librarian prior to the expiration of the borrowing time. The borrowing time for external resources are determined on a case by case basis depending on the policies of the library lending the external resource. For more information on how to access the schools' library resources or to obtain external resources, please see the school librarian.
