WELD213M - Metallurgy 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.

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ENGL203M - Introduction to Journalism This course introduces students to the basic principles of journalism including researching, writing, editing, and reporting news for publication in print and electronic media. Students will gain practice in producing assignments under deadline that meet the “ABC” standard (accuracy, brevity, clarity) and conform to general guidelines of the Associated Press. Prerequisite: ENGL 109M or ENGL 110M. (Fulfills English elective requirement.)

BUS212M - Business Law I Business Law I will encompass some of the common topics in criminal, civil and business law. Topics to be taught and discussed include the criminal, civil and business law justice systems including: constitutional law for business and on-line commerce, torts and privacy, business and cyber crimes, ethics and social responsibility, contracts and warranties.

BUS225M - Effective Human Relations This course is designed to teach students the effective human relations skills they need to become successful managers in today’s workplace. Students will learn factors that influence employee behavior and contribute to organizational productivity. Practical applications will be investigated as they relate to successful companies.
