Meets MNTC Goal Areas 2, 6 and 8. Developments in the arts, architecture, science, philosophy, education and studies in human interaction are often provoked by changes in technology. Early changes in military technology made it possible for civilizations to take charge of various places on the world's stage. However, over time, changes in how the world was understood, motivated by general advances in global exploration, astronomy and other sciences, as well as specific inventions such as moveable type, proved even more instrumental in driving people to new and different understandings of what it means to be human. This course explores how technology impacts developments in a culture's world view and tries to anticipate how future changes in technology might alter the course of otherwise established ways of life.

Meets MnTC Goal Areas 2 and 6. The term "hero" is sometimes used synonymously with the term "role model," and in this class we will identify what characteristics are present in the heroic figure as well as explore the motives of the hero. Why do we expect our heroes to suffer? The vast majority of heroes are single; why? Is it related to the notion of "incorruptibility," or is it to spare them the "hard decisions" (to save a spouse or three other strangers)? Are there links or analogies to the story of Jesus? What do we admire about heroes? Is it the chameleon property? What kinds of things can be considered "superpowers" and what do they represent figuratively, metaphorically, mythically, symbolically, morally and culturally? Are heroes archetypically different according to gender, or are heroes gender-neutral? Are heroes representatives of the culture they originate in, or are they products of that culture, or both? Are heroes representatives of a particular moral position, or are they a "generic good?" These are the types of questions we will explore in this class.

This course explains DC and AC theory, beginning with mathematically solving and hooking up series DC circuits and advancing into solving and hooking up AC resistance in series, parallel and combination circuits. HVAC relays and contactors and furnace safety devices are studied and wired in the lab. There is a dual emphasis on reading and then hooking up and troubleshooting schematic drawings. Magnetism and the generation of AC transformers as applied to HVAC, inductors and inductance-resistance parallel and series combination circuits are solved using trigonometry. Capacitance is introduced and applied as a function in understanding AC motors.
