The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of manufacturing processes and design. Topics covered include; equipment design, automation/control, quality, product design for manufacture-ability, industrial management, and systems design and operation.

The course provides an extensive look at laser scanning methods utlilized with advanced manufacturing for product identification, and product design. One-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional scanning methods are examined throughout the course. Galvanometer-based optical scanners will be covered as well as other types of laser scanners.

Continuation and extension of English 101 with an exploration of essay forms with particular attention to interpretation, analysis and synthesis, while emphasizing analytical reading and writing, critical thinking and research methodologies.

Observation and teaching under supervision in a secondary school, community or technical college, or business and industry training environment. Relevant education and workplace law is explored.

Introduction to fundamental concepts of cybersecurity, common cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, and techniques and tools for detecting and defending against cyber-attacks.

An introductory course to present the fundamental principles of mechanical refrigeration. The course is designed for persons interested in pursuing a career in servicing, repairing and/or installing refrigeration and air conditioning equipment as well as building maintenance persons. Topics covered: basic physics, thermodynamics, the basic refrigeration cycle and common components used in mechanical refrigeration. This course is a prerequisite for all other courses in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Building Maintenance core.

This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to hone their skills in the GMAW and FCAW processes in all positions by providing them with hands-on time and individual instruction. The learner will also practice Air Carbon Arc Cutting and Plasma Arc Cutting on ferrous and nonferrous materials. Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab assignments. WELD 232 is required concurrently with WELD 231, but may be taken as a separate course.

This course is a continuation of Welding II and focuses on the GMAW and the FCAW processes. The Air Carbon Arc Cutting section will further develop skills in the process. The student will develop skills required to make fillet and groove welds in all positions using GMAW and FCAW processes. The student will be introduced to the Plasma Arc Cutting Process.

This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to hone their skills in oxyfuel machine cutting, SMAW vertical and overhead positions, GMAW basic skills and air carbon arc cutting processes. Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab assignments. This course satisfies 3.5 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded human relations curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A. This course satisfies 4 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded mathematics curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.
