BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

TCHE225M - Curriculum and Instruction for Diverse Learners This course will provide students with strategies for positive and productive interactions among teachers, parents, co-workers, and other professionals working with children. It will prepare future teachers to engage with diverse students, their families, and the broader community in a way that not only respects and values their unique backgrounds but also maximizes their contributions to the educational process. Students will explore and develop collaboration and communication skills for participating in IEP teams, co-teaching, and working with families as partners in the process. Students will develop strategies for establishing and maintaining positive and supportive relationships with families and will also become familiar with community resources that support children and their families. Students will be required to complete 8 hours of community service that benefits children and/or families. Prerequisites: C- or better in TCHE104M or ECE104M.

MATH111M - Numerical Geometry This is an applied course in Euclidean geometry stressing calculator manipulation and problem solving. The topics include linear, area, and solid measures involving US and SI units, solutions of linear equations, proportional relationships, congruent and similar figures, properties of polygons, circles, and ellipses. Prerequisites: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

CSCN210M - Computer Science in Action I - Technology Innovation Students will determine the need, plausibility and target market for a computer program, app or computer enabled device for a non-traditional computer application to be used on a mobile platform or other emerging technology. Student groups will design various product concepts selecting a single approach and develop a working product demo or application. Prerequisite: CIS117M or CIS118M or CIS122M or CIS126M or CIS148M or CIS158M.

WELD220M - Fabrication Techniques and Estimating This course deals with the problems encountered when welding different types of steel and non-ferrous metals in a production shop: the use of arc motion and work motion equipment and robotics in the modern welding factory; the importance of welding procedures and the use of fixtures; and the estimating of typical welding costs (materials, cutting, welding, consumables and overhead) used to price out a job. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD211M, WELD212M.

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

WELD111M - Gas and Arc Welding Lab At the successful completion of this course, each student will be able to: (1) safely utilize oxy-fuel cutting equipment to cut shapes and prepare material for welding; (2) safety utilize oxy-fuel welding equipment to weld various mild steel joints in the four welding positions; (3) safely utilize arc welding equipment to weld various mild steel joints in the four welding positions; (4) safely use oxy-fuel equipment for braze welding, brazing, soldering, and fusion welding of the most widely used types of metals.

MATH204M - Calculus I This is the first course in the Calculus sequence. Topics include exploration of limits, continuity, and derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. These basic concepts are further developed in applications of differentiation including particle motion, related rates and optimization. Integration is introduced through the study of definite and indefinite integrals and area.
