RET C295 Content Review
Prerequisite INSF C070 and	The student needs the knowledge from INSF C070 or its equivalent in safe operating principles (SOPs) around energized circuits. He/she also needs to know proper selection and usage of appropriate test and personal protective equipment while working with energized circuits. The student needs that knowledge and needs to follow the necessary SOPs while completing the hands-on portion in this capstone project class.
Prerequisite RET C100 and	The student needs to know the basics of energy capture for renewable energy (RE) technologies and the functional aspects of their sub-systems as covered in RET C101. This knowledge is drawn upon by the student in creating his/her capstone project for this class.
Prerequisite RET C115 and	The student needs to know safe operation practices (SOPs) around energized circuits by the proper selection and usage of appropriate test and personal protective equipment that is covered in RET C115. In addition he/she will utilize knowledge from RET C115 to adhere to SOPs, and select proper PPE and test equipment to wire system components, trace and remedy faults as necessary, to ensure that the final capstone project works as intended for this class.
Prerequisite RET C161 and	The student needs to know the interoperability of Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) sub-systems as covered in RET C161. In addition he/she will utilize knowledge from RET C161 to properly set-up mechanical sub-systems, and monitor its operation with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system as part of this class' capstone project.
Prerequisite RET C211 and	The student needs to know how to correctly wire a motor with its start/stop circuitry as covered in RET C211. This knowledge is drawn upon by the student in creating his/her capstone project for this class.
Prerequisite RET C213	The student needs to know and adopt Safe Operating Practices (SOPs) as covered in RET C213. This course also covers the proper use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and correct selection and use test instrumentation so as to prevent personal injury or equipment damage (e.g. arc-flash when working with power electronics and circuits) which the student also needs to know. In addition RET C213 covers power electronics as used for motor controls; the knowledge of all of which the student draws upon in creating his/her capstone project for this class.
Advisory RET C263	It is suggested that the student take RET C263 concurrently with this course if not taken previously. It is helpful for the student to be able to interpret fluid power system schematics and know safe operating practices (SOPs) associated with pneumatic and hydraulic systems that he/she learns in the course, and to use that knowledge for successfully building such a system as part of the student's capstone class project.
