FLPW2191 Industrial Circuit Design
This course combines all the curricula in the Fluid Power Technology program. Students will evaluate industrial mechanism to create complete design circuits and systems utilizing hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and mechanical design principles. Students will calculate design criteria using fluid power formulas to select components such as pumps actuators, valves, conductors, and controls. Creativity will be utilized to design efficient, safe and economical circuits. This course is intended for individuals involved with design of production machines, automated systems, food processing or harvesting equipment. Individuals involved in the specifications of hydraulic and pneumatic components should consider this course.
