DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

ABS − Automated Building Systems (Department: 481) ABS-140 Building Systems 1 Course examines mechanical building systems and operations related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment, and water systems. Course learning outcomes shall apply HVAC systems to controlling building environments. Learners will gain knowledge and skills of systems and controls, which create a healthy and productive environment in commercial and industrial buildings. ABS-141 Credits: 2 Building Systems 2 Course examines building lighting, alarms, security, network access, and building envelope systems. Learners will apply course concepts to the JCI Metasys system extended architecture for managing building operations. ABS-142 Credits: 1 Measurement and Veri fi cation for Automated Building Systems Course examines the bene fi ts of performing measurement and veri fi cation, as well as testing procedures, tools and equipment, instrumentation used, and how to interpret data. Learners will explore di ff erent methods of measuring and verifying energy savings using the International Performance Measurement and Veri fi cation Protocols (IPMVP). Learning outcomes include hands on experience using kWh meters, energy management systems, and data loggers. Information covered will prepare learners to take the national certi fi cation exam for measurement and veri fi cation. Concepts will be applied to the process of verifying that energy management projects are working. Course reinforces documentation, communication, project management, and computer skills including word processing and spreadsheets. ABS-143 Credits: 2 Electrical Concepts/Control 1 for ABS Learners will explore how to apply basic electrical concepts to building automated systems control. Course examines basic electrical theories, electrical symbols, line and ladder diagrams, wiring schematics, DC and AC circuits, and applies these to building automated systems control. Control theories will be applied to job duties and tasks performed on building automated systems. ABS-144 Credits: 2 Control Theory 2 for ABS Course builds upon the electrical concepts learned in Control Theory 1, and examines control systems used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Learning Credits: 3

outcomes include: control system submittals, sequence of operations, system architecture, control languages, and commissioning controls. Control theories will be applied to both HVAC and water systems. Learners will apply course concepts to the JCI Metasys system extended architecture for managing building operations. Prerequisite(s): Complete ABS-143. ABS-145 Credits: 2 Control Theory 3 for ABS Course examines control theories for DOC technologies, lighting, alarms, security, and building envelope technologies used in various automated systems. Programmable controls and graphical interfaces will be introduced. Hands-on learning lab simulations will build skills and help apply concepts to job duties and tasks. Prerequisite(s): Complete ABS-143 and ABS-144. ABS-148 Credits: 4 Automated Building Control Systems Course examines JCI Metasys, IVUE Carrier, and Trane Tracer building automated control system technologies. Learners will compare systems and apply concepts to managing automated building control systems. Hands on learning lab for the Metasys system will help learners build skills in writing, revising and verifying programs. Prerequisite(s): Complete ABS-140, ABS-141, ABS-142, ABS 143, ABS-144 and ABS-150. ABS-149 Credits: 4 Networking Automated Building Systems Course examines servers, network servers, and other programs; virtual area networks; wireless controls; and building automatic control networks (BACNET) and LON system architectures. ABS-150 Credits: 2 Energy Auditing for ABS Learning outcomes include exploring the process and requirements for completing an energy audit, examining the ASHRAE levels of audits, and relating these to the job duties and tasks performed for building automated control systems. Learners will complete an ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit project as a foundation for developing skills needed for automated building systems related careers. ABS-151 Credits: 2 Commissioning Automated Building Systems Course explores commissioning related job duties and tasks involved in starting up new, automated building systems and controls. Course learning outcomes include applying the commissioning process to automated building systems, examining commissioning related roles and responsibilities, exploring the bene fi ts of commissioning and how these relate to energy management, using functional performance testing (FPT) and construction checklists in the commissioning process.

ABS-153

Credits: 1

ABS Capstone Project Course Course provides a capstone project for automated building systems control. Learners will identify, plan, and execute a project in one of the following areas: energy auditing, commissioning, fi re/ security systems, controls technologies, or systems technologies. Strategies for training owners and operators will also be explored. Other capstone projects may be done with preapproval by the department. In addition, an optional industry-based internship may be substituted in lieu of a project. Prerequisite(s): Complete ABS-150. ACCTG − Accounting (Department: 101) ACCTG-102 Basic O ffi ce Accounting The basic structure of accounting is presented. Emphasis is placed on the recording, classifying and summarizing phases. Particular attention is given to procedures related to administrative assistant work, such as petty cash, payroll, bank reconciliation and accounting software. ACCTG-110 Credits: 3 Financial Accounting A survey course stressing a user-oriented approach to basic fi nancial statements, their content, format and use. Transactions, accounting principles and conventions are studied in terms of their e ff ects on corporate fi nancial statements. This course will not substitute for Accounting 1 (ACCTG-111) or Accounting 2 (ACCTG-113). ACCTG-111 Credits: 4 Accounting 1 Accounting concepts and general principles are integrated with applications by working through the complete accounting cycle for service and merchandising enterprises. Emphasis is placed on analysis and interpretation as well as on the recording, classifying, and summarizing phases. A practice set provides practical experience using accounting theory. ACCTG-113 Credits: 4 Accounting 2 A continuation of Accounting 1, focusing on assets, liabilities, and accounting for partnerships and corporations. Financial statement analysis and the cash fl ow statement are also introduced. Students perform comprehensive fi nancial analysis of a corporation. Prerequisite(s): Complete ACCTG-111 with minimum grade of C. Credits: 3
