All third attempts for enrollment require Dean/Assoc. Dean approval.
This science of psychology course is a survey of multiple aspects of behavior and mental processes. It provides an overview of topics such as research methods, theoretical perspectives, learning, cognition, memory, motivation, emotions, personality, abnormal psychology, physiological factors, social influences, and development.
Incorporates the concepts learned in Statics and applies them to 3-dimensional applications. The learner will master the basic concepts of fatigue strength, the use of stress concentration factors, de-rating factors and factors of safety in order to compare design loads to material properties of objects in their actual working environment. The learner will understand all aspects of shaft design and will be able to properly account for all considerations when designing these common machine components.
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.
Explores cutting, forming, joining and finishing processes employed in metal sculpture. Learners create works with ferrous and nonferrous metals. Assignments focus on design elements as related to materials and process, and their effect on visual impact and meaning. Conventions, trends and innovations in metal sculpture will be discussed.
Implement and optimize a network infrastructure integrating multiple operating systems, hardware platforms, and network devices. Learners apply project management principles, enhance network security and services, and utilize troubleshooting methodologies to ensure optimal performance. This capstone allows learners to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained throughout the IT Network and Systems Administration program.
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.
