HVAC213M - Hydronic Systems Theory Topics include; forced hot water system components, piping layout, selection of system components, and problem solving, which involves troubleshooting and replacement. Various methods of heating domestic hot water are also studied. Prerequisite: HVAC114M, HVAC115M, HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC134M, HVAC135M, Corequisite: HVAC214M

BIOL210M - Microbiology This course provides an introduction to the principles and practices of medical microbiology. Topics covered include: the nature and behavior of microorganisms; principles of growth and reproduction of microorganisms; identification of microorganisms using staining, pure culture, biochemical and antigenic techniques; and the epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, and appropriate control measures for microbial diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and helminthes. Prerequisite: successful completion (grade “C” or better) of BIOL110M or BIOL108M, and ENGL110M

ENGL110M - College Composition I College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M or completion of ENGL095M with a grade of C or better.
