Important Financial Aid Update: While the new 2024â2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available to complete online now, the Department of Education has been delayed in providing FAFSA information to colleges. The NTC Financial Aid Office is working to prepare financial aid offers for the upcoming summer and fall semesters. Learn More
Provides learners with an opportunity to apply the theory, skills, and techniques they have learned so far in the program to real-world businesses and projects in conjunction with a regional Civil Engineering employer.
This course covers nursing management and professional issues related to the role of the registered nurse. Emphasis is placed on preparing for practice as a registered nurse.
This course will cover topics related to the delivery of community and mental health care. Specific health needs of individuals, families, and groups will be addressed across the lifespan. Attention will be given to diverse and at-risk populations. Mental health concepts will concentrate on adaptive/maladaptive behaviors and specific mental health disorders. Community resources will be examined in relation to specific types of support offered to racial, ethnic, economically diverse individuals and groups.
Prepares learners to perform basic nursing skills under the supervision of a nurse for job entry as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) or a home health aide (HHA) in health care agencies. Face-to-face and hybrid classroom, campus lab and clinical instruction are offered at various nursing homes and hospitals throughout the district. Students need to submit an application and complete background check.
This course focuses on the development of advanced clinical skills across the lifespan. Content includes advanced intravenous skills, blood product administration, chest tube systems, basic electrocardiogram interpretation and nasogastric/feeding tube insertion.
Introduces AutoCAD by working with templates, creating and manipulating layers; basic drawing and editing commands, annotation and dimensions, and utilize inquiry tools, along with blocks, attributes, and plotting. Students will also develop the ability to use basic commands within AutoCAD Civil 3D, from importing survey data and parcel features, to alignments and profile generation, and will also spend time learning the custom user interface, core styles (used to display Civil 3D objects), and utilizing coordinate systems to start drawing files.
Provides an introduction to Statics related to Engineering including the following topics; general static principals; force vectors; force system resultants; structural analysis (including simple trusses, zero-force members, and method of sections); characteristics of friction (including dry friction, wedges, and rolling resistance); center of gravity; and moments of inertia.
Utilizes the knowledge gained in previous semesters to build more complex design models, add new features, and analyze their designs even further, with functions like vehicle tracking, quantity take Off tools, and storm & sanitary analysis. Provides a deeper development of complex corridor targeting in roadway design and advanced grading tools for site designs, all while adding additional underground utilities to our design models and plan sets. These tools will then again be used to create accurate construction models and plans sets ready for practical use.
Provides an introduction to surveying and mapping for Civil Engineering and includes foundational knowledge in these skills including: basic surveying principles; history of land surveying; laws governing property; property rights; instruments in the field; basic surveying computations; and using and generating survey maps.
Provides an introduction to Civil Engineering Technology and includes key areas of knowledge such as: a history of Civil Engineering and its disciplines; Engineering ethics; Basic drafting techniques, including measurement and scaling, sheet format and layout, dimensioning and line work, orthographic projection, and isometric drawings; an introduction to Civil Engineering plans, specifications, and estimates; an introduction to Project Management, including an overview of a project life cycle; Microsoft Windows Office programs and related skills such as file and document management; and resume and portfolio preparation for those in the Civil Engineering field.
Introduces transportation infrastructure design and includes important areas of knowledge including: the history of transportation engineering; basic roles of transportation engineering (including planning, design, general operations, and overall management); introduction to design concepts (including alignment & profile, typical sections, intersection design, pedestrian & bicycle accommodations, parking lot layout, and runways & taxiways); traffic control and staging; and an overview of design plans, details, and design requirements for different transportation project types.
Builds upon the knowledge gained in previous surveying courses to provide additional advanced surveying concepts including key areas of knowledge such as: geodetic applications; state plan coordinates, construction staking methods, calculating volumes, photogrammetry, and an introduction to Geographic Informational Systems. Fieldwork experiences will include construction staking of horizontal curves, vertical curves, and other civil engineering project features.
Complex Health Alterations II prepares the learner to provide and evaluate care for patients across the lifespan with alterations in the immune, neuro-sensory, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, renal/urinary, reproductive systems and shock, burns and trauma. The learner will also focus on management of care for patients with high-risk perinatal conditions and high-risk newborns.
Complex Health Alterations I prepares the learner to provide and evaluate care for patients across the lifespan with alterations in cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and hematologic systems as well as patients with fluid/electrolyte and acid-base imbalance, and alterations in comfort.
