MATH090M - Foundations for College Mathematics This course is designed to review and enhance mastery of basic mathematical and algebraic skills needed to complete a college level course in mathematics. Topics covered are operations with whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, signed numbers, percent, ratios, proportions, algebraic expressions, linear equations/inequalities, exponents, square roots, and polynomials. Students will work with basic geometric formulas and basic descriptive statistics. Students will also manipulate formulas; convert between different units of measure; solve word problems; interpret/analyze data; perform basic graphing techniques; perform operations with real numbers and polynomials; graph linear equations; solve linear equations, inequalities, linear-equation systems and quadratic equations; factor polynomials; and recognize basic functions and their related notations. Calculators will not be used in this course until the end of the term. This course is enhanced with web-based technology enabling self-paced learning. Students may take this course in multiple semesters until all concepts have been mastered. Course offered every semester. Credits do not count toward degree requirements. Successful completion of this course requires a grade of "C" or better. Prerequisites: Placement Test or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).

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.

CAD113M - Applied CAD for Industry An introduction to the basic concepts and practices of producing drawings by Computer Aided Drafting using AutoCAD software. The course will cover setting up for electronic drawing, drawing accurately, controlling the graphic display, basic drawing techniques, graphic entities and an introduction to editing. Prerequisite: WELD113M or permission of instructor.

ENGL113M - Introduction to Public Speaking This course prepares students to effectively communicate with audiences in academic, workplace and community settings by providing instruction and experience in formal speech preparation and delivery. Students will learn to analyze speaking situations and adapt messages for audience, purpose, and context. Topic selection, relevant sources of support, structure, organization, and delivery are emphasized. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

ETEC111M - Electrical Fundamentals I - LW This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to the National Electrical Code, basic DC electrical theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Acceptance into the Lineworker program.

GDES115M - Digital Imaging Beginning study and use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Through the exploration of hands-on projects, students will learn vector-based image creation and digital imaging editing with an emphasis on graphic design, print, web graphics, and fine art applications. Capstone project will showcase skills in both applications. Prerequisites: None Can fulfill a fine arts elective

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.
