CIS291M - Capstone Senior Seminar This capstone course is required for all AS Degree candidates. Students will develop a semester long project in an area of their interest, complete the project and assess their progress. Examples might include, development of a computer program in the language of the student’s concentration, construction of a complex database, creation of a Web 2.0 enabled web site, construction, configuration and administration of a complex network or a portfolio of graphics and animations representing complex work. Prerequisite: CIS210M or CYBD110M.

AUTO1012M - Electrical Systems AUTO1012M is a comprehensive face-to-face course covering all aspects of the theory and diagnosis of basic electrical systems of the latest automobiles and light trucks. Topics include: electrical safety, basic electricity theory and electrical systems, circuit diagrams, magnetism, induction, battery technology, semiconductors, automotive electrical systems, electric circuit repair techniques, digital multi meter and other diagnostic equipment, and diagnostic techniques. Using the various skills and knowledge learned, students will perform basic electrical system inspection, diagnosis and repairs on today’s automobiles. AUTO1012M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training is required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1021M, AUTO1022M, and AUTO1023M.

ARTS117M - Art History I This course surveys the history of art and design in Western and non-Western traditions from the prehistoric to the dawn of Modernism. Each module is oriented around a core question that enables the class to make connections across the timeline of art history. This course emphasizes the connections among historical, political, social, religious and artistic developments, showing how artists and designers are influenced by the culture and time in which they live. Prerequisite: ENGL110XM or ENGL110M (Fulfills a Social Science or Fine Arts requirement.)

NURS111M - Nursing I:Practice&App Lab B1 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.
