Instrumentation II
This is a sixty hour course which provides training in the skills needed to evaluate and perform analysis on process control systems. This course also begins to encourage and emphasize to the Journeyman the concept of "systems thinking" which is so critical to control system evaluation. Additional study will be concentrated in the areas of fiber signaling, digital systems, and more. Calibration concepts, transmitter basics and hands-on calibration will be discussed and performed on a variety of temperature and pressure instruments using the Fluke-744 HART Calibrator. Prerequisite: Completion of Instrumentation I.

Programmable Logic Controllers
This course of study provides electrical workers with intense hands on exposure to several different types of PLC's and their associated installation and programming requirements. Both discrete, internal and peripheral devices are discussed and their interactions studied. Approved fifth year elective. Prerequisites: Good knowledge of motor control theory and practice. Above average computer skills. Completion of the inside fourth year.

Structured Cabling - BICSI level x
These courses provide the electrical worker with knowledge of low voltage, limited energy data cabling systems and components. The appropriate BICSI registration examinations are offered at the end of the course providing BICSI registration for those that pass the examinations. Approved fifth year elective. Prerequisites: None for level I. Two years documented teledata experience for level II.

OSHA 30
The Local Labor Management Cooperative Committee has generously agreed to provide grants-in-aid to Journeyman who successfully complete an OSHA course and have not taken one in the past.

Welding I
This course introduces the electrical worker to arc welding and electrode selection in all positions with ferrous metals. It also provides hands on experience using an oxy-acetylene outfit as well as a plasma cutter. This course is entirely hands on. Approved fifth year elective. Prerequisites: None

Welding II
This is a continuation of Welding I and provides competencies in MIG and TIG all position welding, as well as experience joining non-ferrous metals. Selection of inert gas and filler material is stressed. This course is entirely hands on. Approved fifth year elective. Prerequisites: Successful completion of welding I or a passing score on a competency examination.
