NURS212M - Nursing IV: CMC-F200 The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

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

BIOL103M - Fundamentals of Health and Wellness This course will familiarize students with the importance of various elements relevant to their personal health. Topics will provide insight on aspects related to overall health and wellness including physical activity, nutrition, and stress management. Additionally, throughout the course, students will analyze many dimensions of personal health and discover how they relate to their career choice and have an effect on their job performance. Finally, students will be given the tools, knowledge and hands-on experience required to feel confident in leading a healthy and active lifestyle.

MATH151M - Intermediate Algebra This course prepares the student for higher level mathematics by covering topics in algebra including exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, and linear or high- degree equations. Additional topics include solving quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; composite and inverse functions; systems of linear equations using matrices; and systems of inequalities by graphing. Prerequisite: 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.

HVAC135M - Fundamentals of Gas Heating and Piping Installation Lab An introduction to gas piping distribution systems which includes an in-depth hands-on course covering: the design, installation, component selection, methods of joining, pressure and leak testing, and the ability to safely work on gas distribution systems. The student designs and installs gas piping distribution systems following relevant codes. Troubleshooting, and steady-state efficiency testing of gas utilization equipment is also introduced. Corequisite: HVAC101M, HVAC134M.

ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M

BIOL150M - Nutrition This course is a study of normal and medical nutritional therapy, including the digestion, absorption, transport, and metabolism of the macro and micronutrients throughout the life cycle. The students will study nutritional assessment and care plan processes for various medical nutritional therapies, including cardiac, diabetes, stress disorders, various feeding routes, and energy and weight management.
