(Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

ENGL211M - Introduction to Technical Writing This course introduces students to the basic principles and procedures of technical writing in what is popularly known as the "information" or "communications age." It teaches students to focus on the audience's need for useful information and not the writer's own need for creative self-expression. Students will learn to create useful workplace communications (including instructions, proposals, reports, online documents, microblog posts, wikis, and product/service information) for both print and web-based mediums. While the focus is on writing, the development of critical thinking skills is heavily emphasized and forms an important component of the course. Using an audience-centered approach, students will learn the difference between readers and users, and how that affects the writer's approach to researching and presenting information.

ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

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.)

NURS212M - Nursing IV: CMC-F200 The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

ECE212M - Professional Development Practicum: ECE Capstone Typically taken during the student’s last semester, this course will provide students with an opportunity to build on the knowledge gained in their previous coursework and practica by moving from a thematic focused curriculum planning process in ECE202 to an Emergent Curriculum approach. Students will study the Reggio Emelia approach to teaching and learning and will plan lessons and a unit focused on the principle of children being collaborative partners in their learning. In addition, students will practice and develop professional teaching skills such as observing, analyzing, classroom management, working as a part of a team, and self-reflection under the mentorship of classroom teachers. Students will complete a minimum of 117 hours of teaching in a college-approved early childhood setting. Students are required to purchase a TASKSTREAM electronic portfolio subscription. Course Pre-requisites/Co-requisites: C or better in ECE 202M.

NURS211M - Nursing III CMC-F200 The student continues to develop competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Activity Exercise, Elimination, Nutrition Metabolic, Self-Perception and Coping Stress Tolerance. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and child rearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice increasingly complex nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal / pediatric settings.

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.
