BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course introduces the principles of microbiology, focusing on the structure, function, classification, and genetics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial metabolism, growth, genetics, diversity, methods for microbial control, and interactions with hosts, including pathogenicity, epidemiology, and immune responses. Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.

AUTO2022M - Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles AUTO2022 is a comprehensive course including theory, service and overhaul procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of automatic transmission, transaxles and electronic controls. This course includes operating principles of hydraulics, mechanical, and electronic controls. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnosis and service today's complex transmissions and control systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose automatic transmission and related system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO2022M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training may be required to receive credit for this course. Prerequisites: Successful completion of AUTO1011M, AUTO1012M, and AUTO1022Mwith a minimum grade of C.

GDES225M - Graphic Design III Focuses on the creative process involved in research, design, promotion and presentation of print advertisements, ad campaigns and package design. Students will complete research, creative briefs and comprehensive projects that demonstrate advanced skills in graphic design. Prerequisite: GDES213M

TCHE100M - Child and Adolescent Development This class provides an introduction to the fundamentals of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, from the prenatal period through adolescence, with an emphasis on children grades K- 12. Various contemporary psychological perspectives and theories on human development will be introduced and discussed. Practical application of theory and concepts to classroom and recreational settings will be emphasized. 10 – 15 hours of observation of children and adolescents will be required. Prerequisites: none

WELD220M - Fabrication Techniques and Estimating This course deals with the problems encountered when welding different types of steel and non-ferrous metals in a production shop: the use of arc motion and work motion equipment and robotics in the modern welding factory; the importance of welding procedures and the use of fixtures; and the estimating of typical welding costs (materials, cutting, welding, consumables and overhead) used to price out a job. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD211M, WELD212M.

ECON134M - Macroeconomics Macroeconomics analyzes the determinants of aggregate economic activity and the effects of government policy intended to achieve full employment, price stability and economic growth. The course examines the standard formulas to measure the nation’s production and income and spending; analysis unemployment and inflation, aggregate demand and supply, fiscal policies, investment and financial markets, money and banking, and the Federal Reserve and monetary policies. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement) Prerequisite: NONE

ECON135M - Microeconomics Microeconomics equips the student with an understanding of fundamental economic principles and tools. It presents economic analysis with respect to demand and supply, consumer utility theory, elasticity, costs of production, perfect and imperfect competition and resource markets. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.

CHEM116M - General Chemistry II This is the second part of General Chemistry. The course will include topics such as intermolecular forces, solutions and their properties, kinetics of reactions, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibrium, equilibrium of solutions, and oxido-reduction reactions. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: CHEM115M with a C or better, High School Algebra II and Trigonometry with a C or better, and Placement into ENGL110M.
