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.

HIST130M - Western Civilization - 1500 to the Present This course surveys the development of civilization in the Western world from circa 1500 CE to the present. This course will focus on the complex interactions of the social, religious, economic, ecological, and political factors that shaped the various eras of Western history. This course will emphasize history as the record of human struggle and achievement and will explore patterns of change and continuity over time. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M. (Fulfills Social Sciences or Humanities requirement)

MATH299M - Mathematics Capstone Taken in a student’s final semester of study, the LIBA/Mathematics Capstone provides students with an opportunity to synthesize the knowledge gained in their previous coursework. Students develop and personalize an individual research topic/project based on an area of interest. The individualized project will require students to demonstrate proficiency in research, critical thinking, and communication as well as an awareness of global perspectives. Students will be expected to consult with faculty in their area of interest in an advisory capacity. Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 48 credits including ENGL110M, MATH220M, MATH222M and CIS122M with a grade of "C" or better.

PHYS136M - College Physics II This course is a continuation of the study of elementary physics that began in PHYS135, College Physics I. Special emphasis is placed on the principles introduced when solving problems. Topics to be investigated include the fundamentals and the applications of oscillating systems and sound waves, heat energy and thermodynamics, electrical charges, and electric and magnetic fields. Prerequisite: C- or better in PHYSICS135M and MATH171M or equivalent.

WELD186M - Blueprint Reading for Welders This course is an introduction to print reading. It covers the different types of lines, dimensions, and notes used to make sketches and prints. The various types of views and their relationship to each other, the welding symbols, and inspection and testing symbols for all welding processes. Students will develop a practical understanding of the blueprint reading knowledge required by the welding industry for employment. Prerequisites: Weld 180M or Weld 111M and Weld 113M or permission of instructor.

CBAM101M - Manufacturing Career Prep This course is designed to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge required for a successful career in the manufacturing industry. Focusing on both technical and interpersonal skills, this course covers key areas such as resume writing, interview skills, career exploration and networking. In addition to basic technical training, the course will emphasize the development of workplace communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. At the end of the course, students will be prepared to enter the manufacturing workforce, whether in entry-level positions or pursuing further specialization in areas such as machining, production planning, or industrial maintenance. Prerequisite: None

NURS112M - Nursing II D-100 The student develops competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Sexual Reproductive, Role Relationship, Nutrition Metabolic, Health Perception Health Management, Cognitive Perceptual and Value Belief. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and childrearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice more complex nursing skills and basic group skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal/pediatric settings.
