Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.

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.

ADMT240M - Manufacturing Systems II Students will explore the mechanical aspects of machines and the associated fluid power components working together as needed for automated manufacturing. This will in include drive mechanisms for feeds, speeds, and power utilization for each component in the manufacturing line such as conveyors, robots, machine tools, and workstations. This course will incorporate the variability in products to be manufactured in relationship to the equipment capacities. Learning will include the use computer simulation and hands-on for the production setups. Each mechanism will be applying the learned aspects as to the specifications, functions, and safe operation. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisite: AMT210M - Manufacturing Systems I.

HFIT230M - Kinesiology

HIST203M - TopxinHist:Hist of the Auto This course will vary by semester. Historical 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 historical events, forces, personalities, ideas and values shaping the contemporary world. Critical thinking, speaking and writing skills will be emphasized, as well as the ability to analyze historical sources. Prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.

ADMT112M - Introduction to Engineering Design and Solid Modeling This problem based learning course covers the knowledge and skills needed to explore the engineering design process. Individual projects, team projects and laboratory exercises will be used to continually hone the student’s interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. Everyday products will be examined for historical, societal, design, safety, and manufacturing perspectives. Topics include ideation, sketching, design constraints, solid modeling, decision making, statistical quality control, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis. Students will develop an appreciation for good design and the ability to communicate design ideas via 3D modelling, written and oral reports. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. This course uses the latest version of the Solidworks design software.
