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.

ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).

This is a theory course only with no lab component. Prerequisites: None

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

PHYS136M - College Physics II This course is a continuation of the study of elementary physics that began in PHYS135, College Physics I. Special emphasis is placed on the principles introduced when solving problems. Topics to be investigated include the fundamentals and the applications of oscillating systems and sound waves, heat energy and thermodynamics, electrical charges, and electric and magnetic fields. Prerequisite: C- or better in PHYSICS135M and MATH171M or equivalent.

CYBD100M - Introduction to Cybersecurity This class is an introduction to the concepts, terminology and management in the fastest growing areas in forensic science, digital evidence network intrusion and information security. The class introduces students to the methods used to acquire and analyze digital evidence, learn the fundamentals of the forensic process, including documentation and presentation of information collected during analysis, how to maintain and document the of chain of custody and methods of analysis and procedures.

AUTO1023M - Automotive Co-op Work Experience II Auto The Automotive co-op work experience provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the degree program and students are required to work a minimum of 320 hours. Periodic supervisor evaluations based on performance and other criteria related to successful employment will be completed and reviewed by the co-op coordinator and site supervisor, and will be the basis for the final grade. AUTO1023M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required at the co-op site. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1031M, AUTO1032M, and AUTO1033M.

TCHE225M - Curriculum and Instruction for Diverse Learners This course will provide students with strategies for positive and productive interactions among teachers, parents, co-workers, and other professionals working with children. It will prepare future teachers to engage with diverse students, their families, and the broader community in a way that not only respects and values their unique backgrounds but also maximizes their contributions to the educational process. Students will explore and develop collaboration and communication skills for participating in IEP teams, co-teaching, and working with families as partners in the process. Students will develop strategies for establishing and maintaining positive and supportive relationships with families and will also become familiar with community resources that support children and their families. Students will be required to complete 8 hours of community service that benefits children and/or families. Prerequisites: C- or better in TCHE104M or ECE104M.
