CHEM090M - Foundations of Chemistry This high school level course in chemistry examines the structure of matter and the nature of chemical reactions. Lab activities will be included to help reinforce theory classes. The course helps to prepare students for college-level sciences. These credits are institutional only and do not count towards graduation.

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.

MATH218M - Introduction to Linear Algebra

WELD224M - Intermediate GTAW of Pipe This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) on Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum Pipe. Skills will be developed in all pipe positons, 1G, 2G, 5G and 6G. Topics covered will include: open root welds, backing ring welds, consumable insert welds, and back purged welds. Prerequisite: WELD 211M. Corequisite: WELD 221M.

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.

GDES155M - Computer Illustration Focuses on the production of pre-designed and original computer illustrations using Adobe Illustrator®. Students will move from introductory vector drawing techniques to advanced, learn proper color management and file preparations to ensure that the illustration printed from the screen version is the desired result and usable in electronic design.

HVAC120M - Related Electricity II Lab A lab based continuation of HVAC110M covering electrical circuit controls commonly found in air conditioning and heating systems. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC120M. Prerequisites: HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

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.

GDES114M - Graphic Design I Provides an in-depth study of design creation relevant to the discipline of graphic design. Students will develop and expand their vocabularies in visual communication while exploring design principles and elements for solving communication problems. Assignments and discussions include creative problem solving, working to specifications, investigating alternative solutions, and the presentation of their own design pieces.
