Introduces radiography students to the principles and applications of x-ray technology. Students analyze how x-rays are produced and determine the corrective actions necessary for common equipment malfunctions.
Explores the entire forest products supply-chain including sectors, current trends, career paths, and environments related to wood manufacturing. Establishes the importance of health and safety practices in the industry and introduces learners to various hazards they will encounter across industry, including sawmills, wood shops, and industrial settings. Learners will develop basic knowledge of OSHA, mills and shops in the forest products industry, and will have the opportunity to earn an NTC Forklift Operator Certificate.
Introduces the fundamentals of machine design and power transmission. The different types and capabilities of power transmission components (chain and belt drives, coupling, clutches, brakes, gear reducers, bearings, and electric motors) are introduced. The student will be capable of proper selection of commercially available power transmission components into systems using the principles of power, torque, and speed.
Integrate the theory, practice and reflection of coursework. Provide services to guests in Studio Max Salon. Learners will perform services under the supervision of an instructor. Evaluate time management on service time to reflect industry readiness and manage salon flow efficiently. Learners will complete this course by working and observing on and off campus salon environments. Safety and Infection control will be practiced throughout this course.
Introduces the techniques used in the design and analysis of mechanisms with application to machine design. Graphical and analytical methods are presented to study the motion characteristics (displacement, velocity and acceleration) of four-bar linkages, slider-cranks, cams, gears and other special mechanisms. The use of CAD and spreadsheets is emphasized.
Investigates historical perspectives of microbiology, microscopy, characteristics of procaryotic and eucaryotic microorganisms, control of microbial growth, microbial genetics, and classification of microorganisms, principles of disease, epidemiology, immunology and pathogenic microbiology.
Provides hands-on training in the nail/spa area located in Studio Max. This course will be taught in a lab setting providing nail care services to the public. While providing these services, learners will be practicing safety and infection control with procedures and professionalism required for lawful and effective salon practices. Prep for state boards in this course.
Prepares learners to perform basic nursing skills under the supervision of a nurse for job entry as a nursing assistant 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.
Introduces learners to the basic concepts of using Microsoft PowerPoint with hands-on, project based activities. Learners will develop foundational skills by applying concepts explored to create new presentations, adding and formatting slides, navigating a slide show, inserting images/backgrounds, adding transitions, adding animations and working with charts, WordArt and tables.
Examines how forces affect machine members and structural elements. The learner will calculate stress and strain, analyze connections and evaluate beams and columns. The learner will use these calculations to determine if a given design will perform or fail.
Expands basic knowledge and skill development of mechanical drawing. Emphasis is placed on fits and tolerances, geometric and positional dimensioning and tolerancing, assembly and detail drawings and parts lists.
Prepares the learner to perform a complete urinalysis which includes physical, chemical and microscopic analysis. The learner will explore renal physiology and correlate urinalysis results with clinical conditions.
Identify wood species and develop knowledge on the applications for different woods. Learners will explore these concepts via hands-on experience, and establish basic understanding of wood cell types, identification characteristics, and material features.
