AUTO2021M - Automotive Co-op Work Experience V The Automotive co-op work experience provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the degree program and students are required to work a minimum of 320 hours. Periodic supervisor evaluations based on performance and other criteria related to successful employment will be completed and reviewed by the co-op coordinator and site supervisor, and will be the basis for the final grade. AUTO2021M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required at the co-op site. Successful completion of AUTO2011M, AUTO2012M and AUTO2013M with a minimum grade of C is required to register for this course. Prerequisites: Authorization from faculty

BIOL108M - College Biology I This course is an in depth college-level course designed for students who intend to continue studying life science as their major area of study. It will cover the chemistry of cells including cellular respiration, photosynthesis, DNA, RNA, protein synthesis and enzymes. Also included is the study of the cell, its components, mitosis and meiosis, Mendelian and molecular genetics. Prerequisites: High School Biology and Chemistry with a C or better and placement into ENGL 110M or permission of the instructor. (Fulfills lab science elective.)

PSYC210M - Human Growth and Development This course is the study of human growth and development with a specific emphasis on the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions from the prenatal period through later adulthood to death. An examination of major theorists is presented during the course. Major developmental milestones, diversity, family make-up and sociocultural dimensions complement the scope of the course. Prerequsites: PSYC110M and ENGL110XM or ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better. Fulfills Social Science requirement.)

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.

ECE200M - ECE Curriculum: Math Science and Creative Thinking This course will focus on the STEAM concepts of creative thinking & problem solving, rather than a collection of facts to be memorized, as a basis for learning in math and science. The theoretical and developmental knowledge necessary to effectively teach the basic concepts of math and science to young children will be reviewed. Students will develop their skills in preparing developmentally appropriate activities that promote curiosity, creativity, problem solving and exploration. The interrelationships between math, science and other areas of the curriculum (particularly literacy and the arts) will be explored. Students will need access to young children to complete required assignments. Students are required to purchase a Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription. Prerequisites: ECE 100 & ECE 104

MATH145XM - Quantitative Reasoning - Corequisite

ECE214M - Developmentally Appropriate Guidance and Discipline for Young Children The emphasis of this course is on the role of positive child guidance in preparing young children to become competent, confident and cooperative individuals. The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning (CSEFEL) pyramid model will serve as the conceptual framework for evidence-based practices and intervention approaches. The course will focus on three main overarching themes: promotion of all children’s social and emotional development, prevention strategies for at risk children, and individual & intensive interventions for children with persistent challenges. Access to an Early Childhood program is required in order to complete an ongoing and in-depth case study. Students are required to purchase a Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription. Prerequisites: ECE 100M & ECE 104M

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.

ECON134M - Macroeconomics Macroeconomics analyzes the determinants of aggregate economic activity and the effects of government policy intended to achieve full employment, price stability and economic growth. The course examines the standard formulas to measure the nation’s production and income and spending; analysis unemployment and inflation, aggregate demand and supply, fiscal policies, investment and financial markets, money and banking, and the Federal Reserve and monetary policies. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement) Prerequisite: NONE
