FYE100M - MCC Essentials 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

ADMT112M - Introduction to Engineering Design and Solid Modeling This problem based learning course covers the knowledge and skills needed to explore the engineering design process. Individual projects, team projects and laboratory exercises will be used to continually hone the student’s interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. Everyday products will be examined for historical, societal, design, safety, and manufacturing perspectives. Topics include ideation, sketching, design constraints, solid modeling, decision making, statistical quality control, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis. Students will develop an appreciation for good design and the ability to communicate design ideas via 3D modelling, written and oral reports. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. This course uses the latest version of the Solidworks design software. Prerequisites: None

ETEC260M - Renewable and Alternative Energy Systems This course will be a presentation of the theory, installation, maintenance, and operation of primary types of renewable and alternative energy systems. Primary focus will be on photovoltaic systems, wind generating systems, and backup generators. Prerequisites: ETEC 210M or ETEC 220M.

HVAC244M - DDC and Building Automation Controls II This course introduces electronic environmental and industrial control concepts and equipment to electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel. The course consists of basic subject matter such as introduction to electronics; solid-state theory and devices; digital numbering systems; digital logic; and basic theory of analog and digital control devices and systems. The course then advances to Computer System architecture; programmable logic controllers; direct digital control for total energy management systems; electronic controls for HVAC equipment; and industrial control devices and systems. This course is intended for students with prior training in electrical theory and practice with electrical equipment. A review of basic electrical theory will precede the other subject matter, but this review is intended as a brief refresher only and not as preparation for the course material to follow. Prerequisites: HVAC243M Minimum grade of a C

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course provides an introduction to the principles and practices of medical microbiology. Topics covered include: the nature and behavior of microorganisms; principles of growth and reproduction of microorganisms; identification of microorganisms using staining, pure culture, biochemical and antigenic techniques; and the epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, and appropriate control measures for microbial diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and helminthes. Prerequisite: successful completion (grade “C” or better) of BIOL110M or BIOL108M, and ENGL110M

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

PHYS225M - Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics This course is a study of the classical and statistical approach to thermodynamics and the kinetic theory. Prerequisites: PHYS220M with a grade of C+ or better and MATH214M with a grade of C+ or better.

CBAM125M - Manufacturing Fundamentals Students will explore the manufacturing process not only as a sequence of material manipulation but also as a product of management. Current managerial philosophies and their effects on every phase of manufacturing will be examined. This information will be synthesized and applied to a manufacturing model, which will allow students to test their theories on managing a manufacturing facility with limited resources. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisite: None

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.

WELD125M - Manufacturing and Repair Techniques An introduction in the safety and fundamental use of machine tools in both manufacturing and repair environments. Processes covered will include turning, milling, drilling, broaching, grinding and precision measurement. In laboratory sessions, students will apply the techniques studied by using machine tools to manufacture welding fixtures and dimensionally restore parts which were repaired by welding.
