4.00 Credits
Human Anatomy and Physiology II continues the study of the human body from Human Anatomy and Physiology I. This course includes principles of chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology as they relate to the study of normal body function. Topics covered include the endocrine system, cardiovascular system, immune system, respiratory system, urinary system, digestive system, and reproductive systems. (MnTC Goals 2 & 3) (Prerequisite: Successful completion of BIOL2515 Anatomy & Physiology I) (4 credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Microbiology explores the general characteristics, classification, and pathology of microscopic organisms. Fundamental aspects of microbial control, growth, reproduction, and metabolism, are explored with relation to the role they play in human health, disease, and immunity. Basic laboratory procedures, such as staining techniques, nutrient preparation, microbial isolation, and microorganism identification are introduced in the laboratory component of this course. (Fulfills MnTC goal 3) (Prerequisite: CHEM2518 or BIOL1200 or BIOL1201 or BIOL2515 or BIOL1001 or equivalent) (3 credits: 2 lecture/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course expands upon knowledge gained in Anatomy and Physiology I and II to explore the changes that result from disease processes in the body. The nature, cause, diagnosis, and treatment of common diseases will be emphasized. Topics will include the immune response, cancer, fluid imbalances, diseases of the individual body systems, and systemic pathophysiology. MnTC Goals 2 & 3 (Prerequisite: BIOL 2516) (3 Credits: 3 lecture/0 lab)

5.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to safe use and handling of shop equipment, tools and supplies. The student will learn to diagnose and repair basic problems associated with woodwind instruments. Techniques of disassembly, tenon corking, key fitting, padding, key corking, regulation as well as play testing the instrument will be covered. In addition, nomenclature, care of wood, crack sealing, key straightening, and spring replacement will be taught. As a project for the course, the student will perform a complete repad on a clarinet including record keeping and invoicing requirements. It is recommended that the student have playing skills on the instrument prior to enrolling, as a playing proficiency is required for completion of the course. Grading is based on project evaluation and written tests. (Prerequisite: None) (5 Credits: 3 lecture/2 lab)

4.00 Credits
The student will build on previous skills learned in diagnosing and repairing basic problems associated with woodwind instruments. Techniques of disassembly, tenon fitting, head corking, key fitting, padding, key corking, regulation as well as play testing the instrument will be covered. In addition, nomenclature, care of metal and finishes, body straightening, key alignment, spring replacement, and soft soldering will be taught. As a project for the course, the student will perform a complete repad on a flute including record keeping and invoicing requirements. It is recommended that the student have playing skills on the instrument prior to enrolling, as a playing proficiency is required for completion of the course. Grading is based on project evaluation and written tests. (Prerequisite: BIRT1100 or field experience commensurate with course content as determined by instructor) (4 Credits: 2 lecture/2 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of brasswind repair, including nomenclature, chemical flushing, porting procedures, common dent removal, the straightening and alignment of parts, soft soldering and spot finishing. The trumpet will be used to learn a majority of these repairs, though larger brasswinds may be included for the advancing student. Aspects of a safe work environment as well as instrument inspection, repair and invoicing are also included. Grading is based on project evaluation and written tests. (Prerequisite: None) (4 Credits: 2 lecture/2 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
This course parallels topics and tasks learned in BIRT1110, adding solder projects, complete instrument repair, introduction to trombone handslide repairs and trumpet playing methods. Machine tool operation, aspects of a safe work environment as well as instrument inspection, repair and invoicing are also included. Grading is based on project evaluation and written tests. (Prerequisite: BIRT1110 or field experience commensurate with course content as determined by instructor) (5 Credits: 2 lecture/3 lab)
-
9.00 Credits
This elective allows students independent work time over and above required coursework to focus on advancing repair skills through working projects assigned in BIRT courses and other specialty projects as approved by instructors. (9 credits: 0 lecture/9 lab)
-
1.00 Credits
This elective allows students independent work time over and above required coursework to focus on advancing repair skills through working projects assigned in BIRT courses and other specialty projects as approved by instructors. (Prerequisite: Enrollment in BIRT1110, BIRT1125, BIRT1100, and BIRT1104) (1 credit: 0 lecture/1 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Using the saxophone as the focus, the student will learn techniques of disassembly and assembly, neck corking, tenon fitting, key fitting, hinge rod making, key corking, padding, regulation, lubrication, and play testing the instrument. Body straightening tone hole leveling, post and key alignment, soft and silver soldering will also be included. It is recommended that the student have playing skills on the instrument prior to enrolling, as a playing proficiency is required for completion of this course. As a project for the course, the student will perform a complete repad on the saxophone including record keeping and invoicing requirements. Grading is based on project evaluation and written tests. (Prerequisites: BIRT1100 and BIRT1104 or field experience commensurate with course content as determined by instructor) (5 Credits: 2 lecture/3 lab)
