Chabot College 2024-2026 397 NONCREDIT COURSE LISTING, ESYS 254 Analog Circuits and Semiconductor Devices 90 Hours Introduction to more advanced electrical/electronics circuits. Students learn the use of BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), FETs (field effect transistors), Op-Amps (integrated circuit operational amplifiers) in building electronic circuits such as power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, and filters. Topics include biasing of amplifiers to explain how transistors are turned on; configurations of amplifiers which explain how the amps differ with current and voltage gain and classes of amplifiers which explain efficiencies of the amplifiers. Voltage regulation, active filters, oscillators, timers and modulation are also part of course content. This course is free and students may repeat this course until mastery of the skills is met. This course is a noncredit course that is equivalent to the ESYS 54 credit course of the same title. Both options cover the same content and students will be enrolled in the same class at the same time. If a student chooses to move from noncredit to credit courses, please meet with ESYS faculty to discuss assessing equivalency and credit by exam. This course is part of a Certificate of Completion. Available Certificates can be found in the Chabot College Catalog. Lecture: 36 hours Laboratory: 54 hours Strongly Recommended: ESYS 250 or ESYS 50. 255 IoT & Microcontroller Systems 90 Hours As IoT connects the world, explore its benefits, applications and challenges.

Lecture: 36 hours Laboratory: 54 hours 269 FANUC Robots & FANUC Certification 90 Hours Robots are used in many aspects of manufacturing from loading, unloading, sorting, pick-and-place, assembly, dispensing, painting, machining, welding, cutting, casting, molding, finishing, cleaning, inspection, quality control and harvesting. Our ESYS 69/269 course introduces our students to the fundamental concepts of robot safety, operation, programming and maintenance of industrial robots by using the FANUC LRMate 200iC Robots with their R-30iB Mate Plus Controllers. The control of the 6 robot axes is facilitated via the FANUC MH iPendant with Touch Screens. Programming of the robot is also learned on the same FANUC teach iPendants. This course provides the foundation for understanding how robots can enhance functionality, increase productivity, and improve efficiency in manufacturing, food/beverage packaging, factories, health care, mining and agriculture. This course is free and students may repeat this course until mastery of the skills is met. This course is a noncredit course that is equivalent to the ESYS 69 credit course of the same title. Both options cover the same content and students will be enrolled in the same class at the same time. If a student chooses to move from noncredit to credit courses, please meet with ESYS faculty to discuss assessing equivalency and credit by exam. This course is part of a Certificate of Completion.
