CHEM115M - General Chemistry I This chemistry course provides students with a sound foundation in the basic principles of chemistry. The course includes topics such as structure of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemicall periodicity, chemical bonding, gases and their properties. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and biology with a grade of C or better, high school Algebra I or Math131M.

NURS111M - Nursing I: CMC-E100 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

WELD212M - Code Welding Theory This course will cover proper industrial quality control procedures with respect to welder qualification, welding procedure qualifications, materials control and quality assurance organization. These concepts will then be utilized in discussion of three major welding codes and specifications: A.W.S. D1.1, A.S.M.E. boiler and pressure vessel code and A.P.I. 1104, which covers cross country pipelines. The principles and practices of common forms of non-destructive testing will be covered with emphasis placed upon weld defects and discontinuities. Several methods of safely performing leak testing will be covered. Weldability of the steels and non-ferrous metals will also be discussed, as well as the weldability of dissimilar metals. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD125M

WELD121M - MIG and TIG Welding Laboratory This course instructs students in the safe, hands on utilization of the GTAW, GMAW & FCAW processes as they are used in industry. The GTAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys & titanium. The GMAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel & aluminum. Resistance welding, plastic welding and thermal spray equipment may also be used. Prerequisites: WELD111M, WELD112M.

GDES150M - Digital Publishing Methods Focuses on digital publishing terminology, methods, and theories to include multi-page layouts.
