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

CYBD100M - Introduction to Cybersecurity This class is an introduction to the concepts, terminology and management in the fastest growing areas in forensic science, digital evidence network intrusion and information security.

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.

HVAC244M - DDC and Building Automation Controls II This course introduces electronic environmental and industrial control concepts and equipment to electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel. The course consists of basic subject matter such as introduction to electronics; solid-state theory and devices; digital numbering systems; digital logic; and basic theory of analog and digital control devices and systems. The course then advances to Computer System architecture; programmable logic controllers; direct digital control for total energy management systems; electronic controls for HVAC equipment; and industrial control devices and systems. This course is intended for students with prior training in electrical theory and practice with electrical equipment. A review of basic electrical theory will precede the other subject matter, but this review is intended as a brief refresher only and not as preparation for the course material to follow. Prerequisites: HVAC243M Minimum grade of a C

PSPT101M - Introduction to Power Sports Basic Maintenance and Repair Introduction to Power Sports Basic Maintenance and Repair is a comprehensive course covering all aspects of general maintenance and light repair of the latest power sports vehicles. Topics include safety, customer service relations, repair documentation, service-department operations, fork lift operation, safety inspection, pre-delivery inspection, in-depth preventative maintenance and inspection and common general repairs. Using the various skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same basic tasks on today’s power sport vehicles as an entry level maintenance technician would in a dealership. PSPT101M is a fall semester course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to PSPT102M.Prerequisites: Acceptance into the Power Sports Technology certificate program.

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.)
