BIOL107M - The Human Body Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL106M). (Medical Assistant students must take BIOL106M concurrently.) (Fulfills lab science elective when taken in addition to BIOL106M) Prerequisites: Placement into ENGL109M or ENGL110M or permission of the instructor.

BIOL151M - Nutrition Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in the Nutrition course (BIOL150M). (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL150M) (Students must take, or have taken BIOL150M concurrently/previously.) Co-requisite: BIOL150M.

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.

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.

MATH155M - College Algebra with Trigonometry This course covers the essentials of numerical algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and is designed for science, engineering, technology, computer science, and mathematics students. It provides a solid preparation for student toward Precalculus and Calculus track. A short review of elementary algebra is followed by an introduction to geometric and trigonometric functions. Applied problems are solved by integrating the above mathematical strategies. The trigonometric functions include ratios in solving right triangles and vector applications, and Law of Sines and Cosines in solving oblique triangles. Prerequisite: MATH151M 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.

ECON135M - Microeconomics Microeconomics equips the student with an understanding of fundamental economic principles and tools. It presents economic analysis with respect to demand and supply, consumer utility theory, elasticity, costs of production, perfect and imperfect competition and resource markets. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

GDES225M - Graphic Design III Focuses on the creative process involved in research, design, promotion and presentation of print advertisements, ad campaigns and package design. Students will complete research, creative briefs and comprehensive projects that demonstrate advanced skills in graphic design. Prerequisite: GDES213M

BIOL151M - Nutrition Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in the Nutrition course (BIOL150M). (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL150M) (Students must take, or have taken BIOL150M concurrently/previously.) Co-requisite: BIOL150M.

WELD213M - Metallurgy Theory and Lab 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.
