ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

HVAC230M - Gas Equipment Installation and Service Theory An in depth study of placing propane and natural gas utilization equipment into service while controlling gas/air mixtures for proper combustion. Gas equipment installations including; clearance to combustibles, combustion, dilution, and ventilation air requirements to determine if a space is confined or unconfined. Gas equipment venting including; venting categories, vent materials, vent sizing and clearances. Troubleshooting electrical circuits and control devices while measuring electrical quantities using an electrical meter. Identifying operating characteristics and components of common sensing devices will be covered. Gas pressure measurements including supply and appliance burner pressure detection will be discussed. Ignition safety systems including the 100 percent pilot safety shut-off and other electronic safety shut off devices will be studied. Flue gas analysis and carbon monoxide detection will be included. National Fuel Gas Code as it relates to the above topics is also emphasized. Prerequisite or corequisite: HVAC134M, HVAC135M.

NURS211M - Nursing III: Elliot/Fuller The student continues to develop 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 Activity Exercise, Elimination, Nutrition Metabolic, Self-Perception and Coping Stress Tolerance. 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 child rearing 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 increasingly complex nursing 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.

WELD122M - MIG and TIG Welding Theory This course covers the theory behind the gas shielded arc welding processes, GTAW, GMAW and FCAW. Principles of operation, welding variables, filler materials and gas selection will be discussed in great detail. The modern welding processes which fall under the following categories will also be examined; Submerged Arc Welding, Plasma Arc Welding, Solid State Welding, Resistance Welding, Electroslag Welding, Stud Welding, the high energy beam processes, Thermal Spraying and other related welding processes. WELD112M.

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)

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.

CIS110M - Microsoft Computer Applications I This is a one semester course that introduces the student to the world of MS Applications Office Suite. Topics will include the use of major applications in the Office Suite utilizing the most current version licensed by the College. This grouping of programs includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point. This is not a course for a student with no computer; it is an intense and rapid instruction in the use of the most common MS Applications programs. (This course cannot be used as a CIS elective for Computer Science majors.)

BIOL150M - Nutrition This course is a study of normal and medical nutritional therapy, including the digestion, absorption, transport, and metabolism of the macro and micronutrients throughout the life cycle. The students will study nutritional assessment and care plan processes for various medical nutritional therapies, including cardiac, diabetes, stress disorders, various feeding routes, and energy and weight management. (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL151M)
