TCHE104M - Foundations of Education This course examines the philosophical, historical, legal and social/cultural aspects of education in the United States. Students will explore current issues and trends in education, how schools and classrooms function organizationally and academically, and teaching as a profession. Discussions will focus on the goals of education, the role of state, local, and federal agencies, educational law and policy, and the roles and responsibilities of teachers. The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) Model of Standards for Beginning Teacher Licensing will be introduced. Students will be required to complete 20 hours of observation in a school setting. Prerequisites: none

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course introduces the principles of microbiology, focusing on the structure, function, classification, and genetics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial metabolism, growth, genetics, diversity, methods for microbial control, and interactions with hosts, including pathogenicity, epidemiology, and immune responses. Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.

ETEC121M - Electrical Fundamentals II-LW This course provides an introduction to basic AC electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to transformers, basic AC electrical theory, basic first aid/CPR/AED procedures, electrical formulas and calculations, OSHA 10 policies and best practices, advanced test equipment, advanced testing procedures, and advanced electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Completion of ETEC 111M.

CIS107M - Introduction to Program Development This class will introduce students to Computer Science providing a solid foundation of common Computer Science concepts and practices. Students will learn various techniques used in Android development. The main technologies associated with the deployment of Android APPS will be presented.Co-requisites: CIS105M

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

HVAC223M - Warm Air and Steam Systems Theory Residential steam and warm air system components are introduced, along with methods of piping and duct layout. Maintenance, troubleshooting, replacement, alteration, and total system designs are emphasized to help the student learn the various concepts involved. Prerequisite: HVAC114M, HVAC115M, HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC134M, HVAC135M; Corequisite: HVAC224M

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

WELD213M - Metallurgy Theory and Lab This course is an introduction to the science of Metallurgy and its application to the welding of various metals. The course includes theoretical studies as well as laboratory exercises. The concepts covered will include: identification of metals; grain structures; heat treatment processes; quench mediums and effects of mass on quenching; composition of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; microscopic examination of metals; hardness, spark and tensile testing; and the effects of carbon and alloy content on heat-treatments and welding. Prerequisite: MATH111M; Corequisite: MATH135M.
