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.

BUS124M - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management This course gives students comprehensive knowledge in the development and management of small businesses. Sales, production, personnel management, and financial management are examined from the point of view of the small business entrepreneur or manager. Using case studies, students will be introduced to effective techniques for: starting a business; obtaining loans; hiring and supervising employees; marketing products and services; and dealing with legal issues and regulations. Using concepts and techniques learned from the course, students will also create and develop a business plan for a real or fictitious organization of their choice.

ACCT213M - Cost Accounting I The cost accounting student will study how accounting data is used within an organization for planning operations, controlling activities, and for decision-making. The student will examine and analyze cost flow, cost of goods sold, job order and process costing, cost-volume-profit relationships, equivalent units of production, variable costing, planning and budgeting, and cost behavior patterns. Prerequisite: ACCT123M.

NURS112M - Nursing II: Elliot Mater/Pedi The student develops competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Sexual Reproductive, Role Relationship, Nutrition Metabolic, Health Perception Health Management, Cognitive Perceptual and Value Belief. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and childrearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice more complex nursing skills and basic group skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal/pediatric settings.

ECE210M - Child Family and Community Relations This course will focus on how children develop within the context of their family, school/center, community and society, with a special emphasis on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory. In addition to theoretical, students will study the cultural and generational perspectives, as well as a variety of other influences on the child and family. Through the use of evidence-based practices, students will focus on the benefits, barriers and strategies to partner with and engage families in their child’s education. Emphasis will be on the development of advocacy skills as students learn about community resources and family needs. A community service project will be required. Students are required to purchase a TASKSREAM electronic portfolio subscription.Course Pre-requisites: ECE100M and ECE104M

MATH212M - Probability and Statistics II This course is a continuation of Probability and Statistics I intended to focus on statistical procedures in research applications. Major topics include inference testing, linear and multiple regression, model building in regression, nonparametric statistics, and ANOVA. Statistical software will be used. Emphasis will be placed on applications of statistical procedures, reporting on findings, and visualization of data. Prerequisite: MATH202M with a grade of “C” or better.

CBAM110M - Industrial Print Reading and Metrology This hands-on course provides students with an introduction to mechanical measurement techniques and engineering blueprint reading. Through practical experience and guided instruction, students will learn to accurately interpret mechanical drawings including tolerances, welding symbology, and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), and perform precise measurements using a variety of instruments. Students will engage in real-world scenarios that develop skills critical to the manufacturing industry. The course will emphasize the importance of precision, ensuring students can confidently read engineering blueprints and verify that mechanical components meet design specifications. Prerequisite: None

ECE202M - Student Teaching Practicum The Student Teaching Practicum requires that students spend a minimum of 117 hours in a college – approved early childhood facility under guided supervision of the classroom teacher (approximately 9 hours/week). Students will bridge the gap between theory and practice by applying theoretical knowledge and developmentally appropriate methodology in their work with young children. Students will assume increasing responsibility for teaching and classroom management throughout the semester, culminating in a week-long experience in which the student takes the role of the lead teacher in planning and implementing the curriculum, and will be formally observed by the college instructor at least 3 times. Weekly seminars are scheduled to discuss issues of appropriate practice, discipline, lesson plans, observations, and other concerns. Students are required to experience two different age groups and two different settings across the two senior level practicum courses (ECE 202M & ECE 212M). Note that a grade of C or better is required in this class in order to move on to the final practicum, ECE 212M. A Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription is required. Prerequisites: ECE100M, ECE104M, and a grade of C or better in ECE111M or ECE112M.

PSYC210M - Human Growth and Development This course is the study of human growth and development with a specific emphasis on the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions from the prenatal period through later adulthood to death. An examination of major theorists is presented during the course. Major developmental milestones, diversity, family make-up and sociocultural dimensions complement the scope of the course. Prerequsites: PSYC110M and ENGL110XM or ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better. Fulfills Social Science requirement.)

ETEC121M - Electrical Fundamentals II-LW This course provides an introduction to basic AC electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to transformers, basic AC electrical theory, basic first aid/CPR/AED procedures, electrical formulas and calculations, OSHA 10 policies and best practices, advanced test equipment, advanced testing procedures, and advanced electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Completion of ETEC 111M.
