ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M

ARTS110M - Welding for the Artist This course is an introduction to welding for the artist. The goal is for the student to develop structurally and aesthetically sound welding techniques in both arc and gas welding. These techniques will enable the art student to create both two and three dimensional artwork. Emphasis will also be placed upon safety, hands-on practice, equipment and process selection, joint design and filler metal characteristics. Students will also learn how to safely flamecut mild steel as well as bend metal using torch heat. Braze welding will also be discussed and practiced. Demonstrations in other welding processes more suitable to welding aluminum and stainless steel will be given. The art of Blacksmithing will also be introduced. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)
