| HP:120 Hydraulics-Pneumatics I 2 cr. S |
| This course presents the basic laws of fluid power systems and properties of fluids to explain the behavior of fluid power devices in fundamental applications. Fluid power components such as cylinders, motors, compressors, pumps, flow control valves and accumulators are studied as well as assembled in labs. Fluid power symbols are taught through example air and hydraulic diagrams. |

| HP:130 Hydraulics-Pneumatics II 4 cr. S |
| This course features fluid power devices in control applications. Fluid power cylinders and motors are presented in direction and speed control circuits using flow controls, direction and pressure control valves. Also pressure intensifiers, air-over-oil systems, rotary actuators and flow dividers are presented in their applications. |
| (32 Lec. Hrs./64 Lab Hrs.) |
| Prerequisites: EI:100 and HP:120 or instructor's approval. |

| HP:135 Hydraulics-Pneumatics III 3 cr. S |
| This course focuses on the proper selection of hydraulic and pneumatic components from guidelines provided. Students work out piping layout and sizing on example systems. Cylinders and motors are chosen from tables and charts based on criteria. Sizing of flow and pressure control devices such as pressure regulators or flow dividers as well as other components are covered. |
| (24 Lec. Hrs./48 Lab Hrs.) |
| Prerequisites: EI:100, HP:130 or instructor's approval. |

| HP:140 Hydraulics-Pneumatics IV 4 cr. S |
| This course focuses on electrical control of fluid power circuits. Control of pressure and flow by electrical means is covered in both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Students wire circuits to control cylinder motions and pressures. Students implement both 'hardwired' and programmable logic circuits to demonstrate these principles. Hydraulic servo principles are also introduced. |
| (32 Lec. Hrs./64 Lab Hrs.) |
| Prerequisites: EI:100, HP:135 or instructor's approval. |

| |
| HP:145 Hydraulics-Pneumatics V 4 cr. S |
| This course covers three key areas of fluid power controls. Students are shown how to properly install belt, chain or direct-coupled drives that are used to power hydraulic pumps and motors. Students are then shown how to identify vibration frequencies of drive mechanisms and how to minimize their effects. Last students disassemble, inspect and reassemble common fluid power components. |
