ETEC260M - Renewable and Alternative Energy Systems This course will be a presentation of the theory, installation, maintenance, and operation of primary types of renewable and alternative energy systems. Primary focus will be on photovoltaic systems, wind generating systems, and backup generators. Prerequisites: ETEC 210M or ETEC 220M.

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.

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.

ETEC142M - Lineworker Co-Op The Lineworker Co-op provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the certificate program. Students are required to work a minimum of 200 hours. A log of all work will be completed for review by the co-op coordinator and their site supervisor. Periodic evaluations based on performance and other issues related to successful employment will be completed and reviewed by the co-op coordinator and site supervisor, and will be the basis for the final grade. Prerequisites: ETEC140M

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

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.)

ARTS123M - Drawing I Various drawing media and techniques are explored in this course. Assignments are designed to build drawing observation skills necessary for visual communications. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

WELD224M - Intermediate GTAW of Pipe This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) on Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum Pipe. Skills will be developed in all pipe positons, 1G, 2G, 5G and 6G. Topics covered will include: open root welds, backing ring welds, consumable insert welds, and back purged welds. Prerequisite: WELD 211M. Corequisite: WELD 221M.

LIBA104M - Introduction to Acting This introductory acting course will cover a range of topics designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of acting and the development of basic acting skills. It will explore methods and theories of acting and their application to the portrayal of various characters in diverse styles of scripts. The curriculum will include an exploration of the fundamentals of acting, character development, stage presence, scene study, and script analysis. Students will be introduced to vocal and physical acting techniques, the expression of emotions, the use of body language, and stage movement. Students will be actively involved in acting exercises. No prior acting experience is required. (This course will satisfy a humanities elective.) Prerequisites: None

CSCN220M - Entrepreneurship in Computer Science This course instructs and educates students on the Business Principles of Founding a Computer Software Start-up. It teaches the fundamental skills needed to be a successful technology startup. Topics like idea brainstorming, pitch formulation, specification building, and managing an engineering team will be covered in the interactive sessions. All topics relate strictly to Computer Science, Computer Software development, and emerging computer related technologies. Prerequisite: CSCN210M
