Students apply critical contexts and practice various theoretical approaches to the readings. Prerequisite: ENGL 109M or ENGL 110M. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

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

CIS231M - Advanced Worksheets This application course will provide students with an expanded understanding of the intermediate to advanced features of Microsoft Excel. Students will apply problem-solving and critical-thinking skills while mastering advanced spreadsheet application techniques using the latest version of Microsoft Excel. Topics will include development of more complex formulas by combining and nesting formulas, database formulas and functions, complex charting, forecasting and trend analysis, statistical analysis, and business “What- If” data analysis techniques. Prerequisites: CIS 110 with a C or better and placement into Math 131 (This course cannot be used toward graduation requirements for Computer Science majors.)

POLS215M - TopxinPS:IntroConstitution Law This course will vary by semester. Political Science topics will be chosen to reflect faculty and/or student interest and will then focus on an in-depth coverage of that topic. All courses will focus on one or more subject areas: political philosophies, the nature of political order and power, individual rights and liberties, forms of government, and human conflict. Additionally, the course will focus on broad political themes and concepts such as: the public good, political authority, law, justice, and freedom. Critical thinking, speaking and writing skills will be emphasized, as well as the ability to analyze political texts and other sources. Prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.

ENGL220M - Advanced Composition: Medium Message and Mode From ads to memes to media, persuasion is everywhere, and learning to recognize and evaluate it is an essential skill for the 21st century. College Composition II builds on the foundation of research, writing, and rhetoric established in College Composition I, but goes deeper into the study of rhetoric – the use of speech, writing, and visual images to persuade, motivate, and inform a target audience. Topics of study include the rhetorical situation, classical and modern persuasive appeals, and the ethics of argumentation. We’ll look at how rhetoric shapes our daily lives, and how we can use it to navigate power and produce social change. We’ll consider the impact of medium on messaging, and how to select and organize information effectively for various modes of expression. In addition to skill-building assignments, students will create three substantial persuasive projects using written, spoken, and visual rhetoric. Prerequisites: ENGL 110M/110XM with a grade of C or better. (Fulfills English requirement)
