ACCT123M - Introduction to Accounting and Financial Reporting II A continuation of the concepts covered in Accounting and Financial Reporting I. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of balance sheet accounts including accounts receivable, notes receivable, property, plant and equipment, short-term and long-term liabilities, bonds, investment, stock transactions, retained earning, cash flows, ratio computation and analysis, and partnerships. This course also compares and contrasts basic accounting methods of accounting for sole-proprietorships, partnerships and corporations. Prereq: ACCT113M

NURS112M - Nursing II: Elliot/Fitch 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.

HUMA108M - Introduction to Music Production

ECE202M - Student Teaching Practicum The Student Teaching Practicum requires that students spend a minimum of 117 hours in a college – approved early childhood facility under guided supervision of the classroom teacher (approximately 9 hours/week). Students will bridge the gap between theory and practice by applying theoretical knowledge and developmentally appropriate methodology in their work with young children. Students will assume increasing responsibility for teaching and classroom management throughout the semester, culminating in a week-long experience in which the student takes the role of the lead teacher in planning and implementing the curriculum, and will be formally observed by the college instructor at least 3 times. Weekly seminars are scheduled to discuss issues of appropriate practice, discipline, lesson plans, observations, and other concerns. Students are required to experience two different age groups and two different settings across the two senior level practicum courses (ECE 202M & ECE 212M). Note that a grade of C or better is required in this class in order to move on to the final practicum, ECE 212M. A Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription is required. Prerequisites: ECE100M, ECE104M, and a grade of C or better in ECE111M or ECE112M.

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

BUS216M - Organizational Behavior This course develops and expands on the basic understanding of organizational behavior. The human relations approach is stressed, including: management philosophy, the organizational climate, supervision, communication, group participation, and factors in the work environment. The foundations of group behavior are explored and applied to real-world situations, case studies, and a course capstone project.

ARTS110M - Welding for the Artist This course is an introduction to welding for the artist. The goal is for the student to develop structurally and aesthetically sound welding techniques in both arc and gas welding. These techniques will enable the art student to create both two and three dimensional artwork. Emphasis will also be placed upon safety, hands-on practice, equipment and process selection, joint design and filler metal characteristics. Students will also learn how to safely flamecut mild steel as well as bend metal using torch heat. Braze welding will also be discussed and practiced. Demonstrations in other welding processes more suitable to welding aluminum and stainless steel will be given. The art of Blacksmithing will also be introduced. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

ENGL213M - Creative Writing In this course, students will learn and practice the techniques of creative writing using a combination of lecture, writing exercises, and workshops. Through the use of the writing process, students will produce finished works of fiction and poetry exploring and incorporating elements such as point of view, dialog, characterization, setting, imagery, and poetic form and structure. Course readings will be used for discussion, inspiration, and idea development. Peer review and instructor feedback constitute a significant component of the course. Prerequisites: ENGL 109M or ENGL110M. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

MATH155M - College Algebra with Trigonometry This course covers the essentials of numerical algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and is designed for science, engineering, technology, computer science, and mathematics students. It provides a solid preparation for student toward Precalculus and Calculus track. A short review of elementary algebra is followed by an introduction to geometric and trigonometric functions. Applied problems are solved by integrating the above mathematical strategies. The trigonometric functions include ratios in solving right triangles and vector applications, and Law of Sines and Cosines in solving oblique triangles. Prerequisite: MATH151M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.
