HVAC101M - Introduction to HVAC Systems This course introduces the fundamental concepts and principles that apply to the HVAC industry. Topics include a basic understanding of; thermodynamics, industry terminology and units of measurement, common HVAC systems and components, materials used in the installation of HVAC equipment and methods for joining materials. Industry standards and codes are explored. Techniques for proper use of hand and power tools are presented. Safely working on HVAC systems and components is emphasized. (Fulfills Open Elective requirement).

NURS111M - Nursing I: Simulation 3 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

CHEM116M - General Chemistry II This is the second part of General Chemistry. The course will include topics such as intermolecular forces, solutions and their properties, kinetics of reactions, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibrium, equilibrium of solutions, and oxido-reduction reactions. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: CHEM115M with a C or better, High School Algebra II and Trigonometry with a C or better, and Placement into ENGL110M.

NURS112M - Nursing II: Practice & App Lab 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.

ADMT220M - Material Science This course will introduce the student to the principles of Material Science as the subject relates to the selection and testing of Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers and ceramics. Emphasis will also be placed upon physical and mechanical properties of metals as well as heat treatment. Prerequisite: None

BUS224M - Human Resource Management This course is designed to provide a fundamental presentation of the dynamics of human resource management. Emphasis is placed on job design and development, employment training, benefits administration, compensation, and employee relations and the laws relating to human resource management. Course concepts will be solidified through the use of case studies and real-world applications. Prerequisite: BUS114M or BUS110M.
