WELD186M - Blueprint Reading for Welders This course is an introduction to print reading. It covers the different types of lines, dimensions, and notes used to make sketches and prints. The various types of views and their relationship to each other, the welding symbols, and inspection and testing symbols for all welding processes. Students will develop a practical understanding of the blueprint reading knowledge required by the welding industry for employment. Prerequisites: Weld 180M or Weld 111M and Weld 113M or permission of instructor.

CHEM115M - General Chemistry I This chemistry course provides students with a sound foundation in the basic principles of chemistry. The course includes topics such as structure of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemicall periodicity, chemical bonding, gases and their properties. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and biology with a grade of C or better, high school Algebra I or Math131M.

BUS124M - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management This course gives students comprehensive knowledge in the development and management of small businesses. Sales, production, personnel management, and financial management are examined from the point of view of the small business entrepreneur or manager. Using case studies, students will be introduced to effective techniques for: starting a business; obtaining loans; hiring and supervising employees; marketing products and services; and dealing with legal issues and regulations. Using concepts and techniques learned from the course, students will also create and develop a business plan for a real or fictitious organization of their choice.

HVAC122M - Fundamentals of Refrigeration II Lab A continuation of Fundamentals of Refrigeration I. This course covers: electrical meter testing of controls; motors and circuits; reading wiring diagrams; troubleshooting and repair various system problems. Prerequisites: HVAC111M/112M; Corequisite: HVAC121M.

AUTO1021M - Steering and Suspension Systems AUTO1021M is an in-depth study of steering and suspension systems, alignment geometry, and procedures including the service and diagnosis of these systems. This course also includes the latest cutting-edge electronic controlled systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO1021M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training is required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1031M, AUTO1032M, and AUTO1033M.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

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

WELD213M - Metallurgy Theory and Lab This course is an introduction to the science of Metallurgy and its application to the welding of various metals. The course includes theoretical studies as well as laboratory exercises. The concepts covered will include: identification of metals; grain structures; heat treatment processes; quench mediums and effects of mass on quenching; composition of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; microscopic examination of metals; hardness, spark and tensile testing; and the effects of carbon and alloy content on heat-treatments and welding. Prerequisite: MATH111M; Corequisite: MATH135M.
