FYE100LM - MCC Essentials - Liberal Arts A Liberal Arts education is about more than acquiring skills to do a job. It is about developing as a human being and engaging with humanity in the context of community, scholarship, and profession. This course will invite students to embark on a journey of reflection and exploration, laying the foundation for their Liberal Arts education. We will explore the difference between work and vocation, asking ourselves: who am I, and where do I fit into my community and my world? We will examine values around finances and work-life balance. We will explore the concept of being part of a learning community, asking what do I need, and what do I have to offer to others? In addition to providing a philosophical framework for the degree, this course will build practical skills, including academic and career planning, financial literacy, and accessing campus resources. This course is required in the first semester for new students. Students transferring in 15+ college credits with a CGPA of 3.0 or better may elect to waive the course. Prerequisites: None

ENGL220M - College Composition II From ads to memes to media, persuasion is everywhere, and learning to recognize and evaluate it is an essential skill for the 21st century. College Composition II builds on the foundation of research, writing, and rhetoric established in College Composition I, but goes deeper into the study of rhetoric – the use of speech, writing, and visual images to persuade, motivate, and inform a target audience. Topics of study include the rhetorical situation, classical and modern persuasive appeals, and the ethics of argumentation. We’ll look at how rhetoric shapes our daily lives, and how we can use it to navigate power and produce social change. We’ll consider the impact of medium on messaging, and how to select and organize information effectively for various modes of expression. In addition to skill-building assignments, students will create three substantial persuasive projects using written, spoken, and visual rhetoric. Prerequisites: ENGL 110M/110XM with a grade of C or better. (Fulfills English requirement)

SPCL115M - Biotechnology Skills and Industry Standards This course equips students with foundational knowledge and hands-on experience in biotechnology, focusing on the essential skills required for entry-level laboratory positions and further study in the field. Students will train in molecular biology, microbiology, and biomanufacturing techniques, including DNA extraction and analysis, protein quantification, PCR, aseptic technique, and cell culture. Emphasis is placed on laboratory safety, documentation, and technical communication, as well as industry standards such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), quality control, and regulatory compliance. Students will maintain laboratory notebooks, write technical reports, and complete tasks that simulate real-world workflows. This course also prepares students to pursue industry-recognized credentials aligned with biotechnology career pathways.

WELD221M - Pipe Code Welding The student will use arc welding equipment to make multiple pass and 100% penetration welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G positions on mild steel plate with electrodes from the fast freeze, fill freeze and fast fill groups; safely utilize arc welding equipment to produce welds on 4-inch and 6-inch standard steel pipe in the 1G, 2G, 5G, 6G positions, plus various pipe assemblies. Prerequisites: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD211M.

CIS291M - Capstone Senior Seminar This capstone course is required for all AS Degree candidates. Students will develop a semester long project in an area of their interest, complete the project and assess their progress. Examples might include, development of a computer program in the language of the student’s concentration, construction of a complex database, creation of a Web 2.0 enabled web site, construction, configuration and administration of a complex network or a portfolio of graphics and animations representing complex work.
