ECE212M - Professional Development Practicum: ECE Capstone Typically taken during the student’s last semester, this course will provide students with an opportunity to build on the knowledge gained in their previous coursework and practica by moving from a thematic focused curriculum planning process in ECE202 to an Emergent Curriculum approach. Students will study the Reggio Emelia approach to teaching and learning and will plan lessons and a unit focused on the principle of children being collaborative partners in their learning. In addition, students will practice and develop professional teaching skills such as observing, analyzing, classroom management, working as a part of a team, and self-reflection under the mentorship of classroom teachers. Students will complete a minimum of 117 hours of teaching in a college-approved early childhood setting. Students are required to purchase a TASKSTREAM electronic portfolio subscription. Course Pre-requisites/Co-requisites: C or better in ECE 202M.

HVAC244M - DDC and Building Automation Controls II This course introduces electronic environmental and industrial control concepts and equipment to electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel. The course consists of basic subject matter such as introduction to electronics; solid-state theory and devices; digital numbering systems; digital logic; and basic theory of analog and digital control devices and systems. The course then advances to Computer System architecture; programmable logic controllers; direct digital control for total energy management systems; electronic controls for HVAC equipment; and industrial control devices and systems. This course is intended for students with prior training in electrical theory and practice with electrical equipment. A review of basic electrical theory will precede the other subject matter, but this review is intended as a brief refresher only and not as preparation for the course material to follow. Prerequisites: HVAC243M Minimum grade of a C

BIOL108M - College Biology I This course is an in depth college-level course designed for students who intend to continue studying life science as their major area of study. It will cover the chemistry of cells including cellular respiration, photosynthesis, DNA, RNA, protein synthesis and enzymes. Also included is the study of the cell, its components, mitosis and meiosis, Mendelian and molecular genetics. Prerequisites: High School Biology and Chemistry with a C or better and placement into ENGL 110M or permission of the instructor. (Fulfills lab science elective.)

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.

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.

HFIT105M - Essentials of Exercise Science

WELD125M - Manufacturing and Repair Techniques An introduction in the safety and fundamental use of machine tools in both manufacturing and repair environments. Processes covered will include turning, milling, drilling, broaching, grinding and precision measurement. In laboratory sessions, students will apply the techniques studied by using machine tools to manufacture welding fixtures and dimensionally restore parts which were repaired by welding.

TCHE215M - Managing Classroom and Behaviors in the School Setting This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of classroom management, discipline and behavior management. Strategies to support the development of a positive, supportive and respectful classroom environment, including teaching social competencies that facilitate responsible student behavior will be examined. Specific behavioral challenges and issues will be investigated. The course provides students with a broad theoretical foundation of behavioral intervention strategies to support children with emotional, behavioral and social challenges. Students must complete 10 hours of observation in a classroom throughout the semester. Prerequisites: C- or better in TCHE100M or ECE100 AND either TCHE104M or ECE104

PHIL240M - Ethics This course is designed to introduce students to some classical and contemporary ethical perspectives, philosophies, and decision-making models. The goal of this course is to relate and apply such knowledge to modern day life; hence any concepts, models, and theories presented will also often be applied to specific problems and cases. Applications may include general ethical issues and/or more career specific issues, (to be determined by student/faculty needs or interests). Prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.
