ENGL 1100 Composition I
(1 period per day for 1 semester)
Prerequisites: Placement into ENGL 1100 or 18 English ACT score SAT(Feb 2016 & Prior) 430 Writing SAT (March 2016 & Later) 490 Evidence-based Reading and Writing
English 1100 is a semester-long composition course which develops processes for critically reading, writing, and responding to a variety of texts in order to compose clear, concise, expository essays. With a focus on academic literacy the course facilitates an awareness of purpose, audience, content, structure and style, while also advancing research and documentation methods. Course reading and writing assignments may be thematically organized.
Students who take this course earn one year of high school English credit and three semester hours of college credit. Students should keep in mind that grades earned for this course will also appear on their college transcripts.
As a foundational course, ENGL 1100 serves as a prerequisite for many other college credit plus electives.
ENGL 2367 Composition II
(1 period per day for 1 semester)
Prerequisites: ENGL 1100 passed with a C or better
ENGL 2367 is a semester-long intermediate composition course that extends and refines skills in expository and argumentative writing, critical reading, and critical thinking. This course also refines skills in researching a topic, documenting sources, and working collaboratively. Course reading and writing assignments are organized around diversity and those who comprise various cultural identities.
Students who take this course earn one year of high school English credit and three semester hours of college credit. Students should keep in mind that grades earned for this course will also appear on their college transcripts.
ENGT 1101 Industrial Foundations
1.0 credit — Grades 9, 10, 11 & 12
(1 period per day for 1 semester)
Prerequisites: Meet CCP Eligibility Requirements
In this course, students will be introduced to print reading and part visualization from drawings, including sketching multi-view drawings and three-dimensional models, location of key features and dimensioning specifications. Students introduced to beginning concepts in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Instruction in using precision measurement tools including, but not limited to scales, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, coordinate measurement machines. Students will incorporate use of computer interfaces in metrology and basic statistical process control and topics in lean manufacturing.
ENGT 1102 Micro-Electromechanical Systems Fabrication
(1 period per day for 1 semester)
Prerequisites: Meet CCP Eligibility Requirements
This course introduces students to the manufacturing environment and processes for production of Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS). Students will learn how to operate in a cleanroom environment, and will be introduced to the history, properties, and uses of silicon wafers. Manufacturing process including wafer-level processes, surface and bulk micro-machining, thin-film deposition, dry and wet etching, photolithography, process integration and the equipment used for these processes will be covered.
FOTO 1140 Introduction to Photography
Foto 1140 introduces students to the basic principles and applications of digital photography as a medium, a skill-set, and an integral part of today’s digital literacy needs. Topics covered include capturing images using digital cameras while emphasizing the manipulation of camera controls, exposure, lighting, on-and-off camera flash, essential imaging tactics, digital workflow for photography, print, web, and image storage and archival. Students are required to have a digital camera (point and shoot or DSLR). A limited number of DSLR’s are available for loan.
Students who take this course earn one year of high school Visual Art credit and three semester hours of college credit. Students should keep in mind that grades earned for this course will also appear on their college transcripts.
ITST 1101 IT Fundamentals +
(1 period per day for 1 semester)
Prerequisites: Meet CCP Eligibility Requirements
This is an introductory IT Course that covers all areas of IT foundations, creating a broader understanding of IT. Topics covered: IT Concepts and Terminology, Infrastructure and Networks, Applications and Software, Database Fundamentals and Security. This course aligns with the CompTIA ITF+ Certification.
MATH 1152 Calculus II
Continue introduction to integral calculus: integration of exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric functions, volume and surface area of solids of revolution, arc length, and methods of integration. Also includes L'Hospital's Rule and Improper Integrals. Analyze plane curves given parametrically or in polar coordinates, and their differential and integral calculus. Infinite sequences and series, and their sum and/or convergence, conic sections, vectors in the plane and in space. Applications to problems in science and engineering. Not open to students with credit for MATH 1157 and above.
MATH 2153 Calculus III
A continuation of the calculus sequence, this course provides an introduction to multivariable calculus: Vector-valued functions and motion in the plane and in space, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, extrema, multiple integrals, line integrals, Green’s theorem, parametric surfaces, divergence theorem, and Stokes theorem. Applications to problems in science and engineering.
