The Industrial Automation Computer Based Tutorial (CBT) package includes eighteen modules of interactive curriculum using text, video, 2D and 3D animations, photos, audio clips and interactive lab simulations. This multi-media learning package includes pre-tests, interactive exercises, and review questions. The learning package features hundreds of pre-built laboratory exercises using LogixSim that are integrated throughout the study material.
The CBT modules cover a wide range of applications and practical examples of automated manufacturing, including both theory and function of digital and industrial electronics, hydraulics/pneumatics, robotic systems, programming languages and alarm management. The three main areas of study in the CBT are electro-mechanical systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and robotics. The program also offers instruction in distributed control systems (DCS) and SCADA systems. The CBT package consists of a combination of theory and labs which feature state-of-the-art simulation software (LogixSim).
