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.

MATH202M - Probability and Statistics In this course students study various topics including basic measure of central tendency and variability, frequency distributions, probability, the binomial distribution, the normal distribution, sampling of distributions, estimation of parameters, confidence levels and hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, simple regression and correlation analysis. Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by the mathematics faculty or successful completion of the course: MATH145M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

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.

HVAC120M - Related Electricity II Lab A lab based continuation of HVAC110M covering electrical circuit controls commonly found in air conditioning and heating systems. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC120M. Prerequisites: HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

NURS212M - Nursing IV: Parkland Medical 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.

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

NURS111M - Nursing I: Parkland Medical Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

BIOL150M - Nutrition This course is a study of normal and medical nutritional therapy, including the digestion, absorption, transport, and metabolism of the macro and micronutrients throughout the life cycle. The students will study nutritional assessment and care plan processes for various medical nutritional therapies, including cardiac, diabetes, stress disorders, various feeding routes, and energy and weight management.
