ELECTRIC UTILITY TECHNOLOGY

The mission of the Electric Utility Technology department is to provide students educational opportunities in electric energy, distributed and renewable energy sources, and electric utility technologies.

EUT 1001 3 credits Introduction to Electric Utilities Students will learn the history, terminology, concepts, business structures, governmental regulations, technologies, and future of the electric power utility industry. Activities will include Internet and library research, class discussions, and tours of electric utility sites. Students will learn how electricity affects their lives and culture. The technical skills needed by electric utilities will be discussed.

EUT 1010 3 credits Introduction to Alternative and Renewable Energy Systems Students will become acquainted with the background issues, scientific concepts, and technologies of alternative and renewable energy systems. The different types of systems will be surveyed and compared, and their future discussed.

EUT 1020 2 credits (1 lecture, 1 lab) DC Electricity for Electric Utility Technicians This is the first half of a two-semester course sequence. Students will be introduced to Direct Current (DC) electric circuits and devices from the perspective used in the electric power industry. The topics of DC electric circuits, motors, generators, and other topics will be introduced through hands-on learning activities. (Co-requisites: PHYS 1001 and MATH 1010)

EUT 1021 2 credits (1 lecture, 1 lab) AC Electricity for Electric Utility Technicians This is the second half of a twosemester course sequence. Students will be introduced to Alternating Current (AC) electric circuits and devices from the perspective used in the electric power industry. The topics of AC electric circuits, motors, generators, and other topics will be introduced through hands-on learning activities. (Co-requisite: PHYS 1002. Prerequisites: MATH 1010, PHYS 1001, EUT 1020)

EUT 1030 4 credits (1 lecture, 3 lab) Transmission, Distribution, and Metering of Power Students will be introduced to transmission, distribution, and metering systems used in the electric power industry. Electrical equipment, theory of operations, system behavior, and other topics will be introduced through hands-on activities. (Prerequisite: EUT 1020)

EUT 1040 4 credits (1 lecture, 3 lab) Power Electronics and Communications Equipment Students will be introduced to power electronics and communications equipment from the perspective used in the electric power industry. Equipment and topics will be introduced through hands-on lab activities. (Prerequisite: EUT 1020)

EUT 1050 3 credits (1 lecture, 2 lab) Protective Relaying Students will be introduced to the technologies of protective relaying, and the activities encountered by relay technicians. Relay components, relay types, fault simulation, and maintenance techniques will be taught by an experienced electric utility relay professional. (Prerequisites: EUT 1020, EUT 1040)
