States. A brief history of the origins of musical theater -- including areas
such as passion plays, opera, operetta and other related media -- is
covered. The course emphasizes the development of American musical
theater beginning with the operetta and early minstrel shows through the
Broadway hits of the Twentieth Century. Additionally, this course
introduces students to the art of critique in regard to musical theater.
Students view several film versions of musicals to understand the societal
influences that brought them about, as well as investigate the lives and
careers of several major contributors to American musical theater. The
course is neither a comprehensive study of the history of theater, nor is it a
technical course in production, direction and performance.
Offered: Fall
Alternating Current (AC) electrical theory. These skills will find application in
measurement, controls and electronics, and provide a springboard for further
study in AC power generation.
Prerequisite: NET 111
Offered: Spring
equations and scientific notation as a prerequisite to the upcoming science
courses where these calculation methods are used.
Prerequisite: MAT 093, if required
Offered: Fall
components such as valves, pumps, heat exchangers, air compressors and
HVAC. It also discusses the principles of lubrication and looks at steam and
diesel engines.
Offered: Fall
gravity and Newton's Law, momentum, work, energy and conservation of
energy, and power as applied in a power plant. Additionally, it covers
chemistry principles, acids and bases, demineralizers and ion exchangers,
corrosion and chemistry hazards.
Prerequisite: NET 111
Offered: Spring
Concepts
an integral part of gaining access and performing work in the plant as well as
the human performance fundamentals and associated tools. Topics include a
plant overview, organization and administration, security, safety, quality
programs, emergency planning and fire protection. Radiation worker training
includes sources, types and measurement of radiation as well as biological
effects, limits and guidelines. In addition, it will cover dosimetry,
contamination control, postings and alarms, and individual rights and
responsibilities.
Offered: Spring
technical areas within a nuclear power plant. During the internship, students
will have introductory instruction in the general operations of a plant as well as
classes/labs covering material science. Students experience the various techni-
cal areas as part of their job assignments to help select possible future career
paths.
Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Nuclear Energy Technology program with
minimum 2.0 grade point average. Students also must be at 18 years
old, and pass background and drug tests required for access to a nuclear
plant.
apply to power plant applications. It covers the topics of energy, entropy,
thermodynamic cycles and heat transfer. This course also discusses the basics
of heat exchangers.
Prerequisite: NET 111
Offered: Fall
pressure, level and flow sensors and detectors, valve actuators, position
indicators and radiation detectors.
Prerequisite: NET 111
Offered: Fall
fission process, the neutron life cycle, the concepts of subcritical multiplication,
criticality and reactivity, and thermal limits and their importance to operation.
This information is key to understanding the response of the plant to various
transients.
Prerequisites: NET 111 and NET 131
Offered: Spring
analysis, transient prevention and mitigation of damage and accident
management. The course also reviews some of the major industry operating
experiences from across the country.
Prerequisite: NET 131
Offered: Spring
operation of a nuclear power plant. It explains how the basic systems work
individually and how they work together to support power production.
