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

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.

MATH106M - Statistics I An Introduction to Statistical Reasoning

CYBD110M - Investigations and Evidence Recovery This course introduces students to different types of digital investigations and the similarities and differences between them.

HVAC222M - Residential and Commercial Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Lab This lab covers: installation and start-up of central air conditioning systems and heat pumps; troubleshooting and mechanical/electrical repair of various makes and models; pricing components and billing procedures. Prerequisites: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC221M

PSYC215M - Abnormal Psychology This course focuses on defining and understanding what constitutes abnormal behavior. Theoretical perspectives such as biological, psychosocial, and socio-cultural approaches will be examined and applied through comparative analysis. Students will be able to identify and interpret behavior and diagnostic criteria associated with mental illness. Synthesis of disorders, assessment, and diagnosis will be fostered in the classroom and applied to diverse cultures, communities, and societies. (Fulfills Social Science requirement.) Prerequisites: PSYC110 and ENGL110 with a “C” or better

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

POLS110M - American Government This course is an introduction to the basic structures of the political process in the United States. It explains political activity with a focus on the national level, but may include details about the state and local levels.
