Topic selection, relevant sources of support, structure, organization, and delivery are emphasized. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

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.

HVAC110M - Related Electricity I Lab Lab work on the principles of DC and AC electricity that are fundamental to the HVAC area. These include: Ohm’s law, series circuits, parallel circuits, meters, wire gauges, magnetism, AC generation, AC calculations, and basic electric motor principles. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC109M. It is recommended that students have successfully completed or are simultaneously enrolled in HVAC101M.

ACCT123M - Introduction to Accounting and Financial Reporting II A continuation of the concepts covered in Accounting and Financial Reporting I.

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

ARTS117M - Art History I This course surveys the history of art and design in Western and non-Western traditions from the prehistoric to the dawn of Modernism. Each module is oriented around a core question that enables the class to make connections across the timeline of art history. This course emphasizes the connections among historical, political, social, religious and artistic developments, showing how artists and designers are influenced by the culture and time in which they live. Prerequisite: ENGL110XM or ENGL110M (Fulfills a Social Science or Fine Arts requirement.)

ETEC110M - Electrical Fundamentals I This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures.
