SOCI110M - Introduction to Sociology This course is an introduction to fundamental theories and concepts of sociology. It examines various social institutions and probes multifaceted dimensions of social issues and events. It also explores collective behavior and social movements. (Fulfills Social Science requirement). Liberal Arts majors cannot take both SOCI109M and SOCI110M to fulfill degree requirements. Prerequisite: placement into ENGL110XM or ENGL110M.

MATH135M - Numerical Algebra and Trigonometry This course provides students with the basic algebra and trigonometry skills to compute solutions in their curriculums. The algebra topics cover operations of real numbers, operations between polynomials, solutions of linear equations and inequalities involving numerical and variables terms, manipulations of formula, and word problems. The trigonometric topics cover trigonometric ratios as applied to right triangles and revolutions, and computation of measures in oblique triangles using the laws of sines and cosines.

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

ENGL110M - College Composition I College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M or completion of ENGL095M with a grade of C or better.

ECE202M - Student Teaching Practicum The Student Teaching Practicum requires that students spend a minimum of 117 hours in a college – approved early childhood facility under guided supervision of the classroom teacher (approximately 9 hours/week). Students will bridge the gap between theory and practice by applying theoretical knowledge and developmentally appropriate methodology in their work with young children. Students will assume increasing responsibility for teaching and classroom management throughout the semester, culminating in a week-long experience in which the student takes the role of the lead teacher in planning and implementing the curriculum, and will be formally observed by the college instructor at least 3 times. Weekly seminars are scheduled to discuss issues of appropriate practice, discipline, lesson plans, observations, and other concerns. Students are required to experience two different age groups and two different settings across the two senior level practicum courses (ECE 202M & ECE 212M). Note that a grade of C or better is required in this class in order to move on to the final practicum, ECE 212M. A Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription is required. Prerequisites: ECE100M, ECE104M, and a grade of C or better in ECE111M or ECE112M.

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.

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

FYE100AM - MCC Essentials-Bus Studies Whether you are a recent or not-so-recent high school graduate, MCC Essentials will introduce you to the people, resources, and services that will help you reach your goal of career or transfer. The class covers academic and career planning; options for financing college and their impact on your short and long-term financial well-being; the supports and resources available to help you become a proactive learner with strong self-advocacy skills. Strategies to help you make the most of your time and tuition dollars are introduced. Most importantly, the course is about helping you create a strong campus community and a healthy support system by connecting you to your faculty, your advisors, and your peers. 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

WELD112M - Gas and Arc Welding Theory This course will allow students to explore how metals are produced, as well as the advantages of different steel making processes. Chemical, physical and mechanical properties of common metals, the operating principles of gas and arc welding and cutting equipment will be presented. An explanation of how electrodes are made, their uses, differences and numbering system will be explained. Gas and arc welding processes are identified and methods of controlling are explained. Basic joints and processes are explained.
