FYE100LM - MCC Essentials - Liberal Arts A Liberal Arts education is about more than acquiring skills to do a job. It is about developing as a human being and engaging with humanity in the context of community, scholarship, and profession. This course will invite students to embark on a journey of reflection and exploration, laying the foundation for their Liberal Arts education. We will explore the difference between work and vocation, asking ourselves: who am I, and where do I fit into my community and my world? We will examine values around finances and work-life balance. We will explore the concept of being part of a learning community, asking what do I need, and what do I have to offer to others? In addition to providing a philosophical framework for the degree, this course will build practical skills, including academic and career planning, financial literacy, and accessing campus resources. This course is required in the first semester for new students. Students transferring in 15+ college credits with a CGPA of 3.0 or better may elect to waive the course. Prerequisites: None

ADMT210M - Manufacturing Systems I Students will explore fluid power controls, manufacturing component capacities and functions for automated manufacturing. This will include the logic controls and setups for creating systems needed in the manufacturing production line. Discussion will include the development of individual mechanical component setups to arrive at the desired output of the mechanisms in the system. Learning activities will include the use of computer simulation and hands-on applications of an operational production component. Each mechanism will be studied as to the specifications, functions, and safe operation. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisites: AMT120M

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.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

MATH204M - Calculus I This is the first course in the Calculus sequence. Topics include exploration of limits, continuity, and derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. These basic concepts are further developed in applications of differentiation including particle motion, related rates and optimization. Integration is introduced through the study of definite and indefinite integrals and area. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores, or successful completion (grade of C or better) of MATH171M, or permission of the instructor.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body.

ANTH102M - Introduction to Archaeology For more than 100 years, archaeology has fascinated scholars and the public, from studies of our earliest ancestors to Howard Carter's discovery of King Tut's tomb to appearances in mainstream pop culture. This introductory course surveys the rise of human civilization from the first apes to walk on two legs over 2.5 million years ago to the development of complex societies. This course will cover the shift from hunters and foragers to the development of food production, and how the shift in the environment allowed humans to develop to today’s level of complexity. Students will be required to engage in fieldwork experience. Prerequisites: Placement into ENGL110M. (Fulfills Social Science requirement)
