3.00 Credits
The course covers Kinematics and Kinetics of particles and rigid bodies, with the application of Newton's Second Law and the principles of work-energy and impulse. The course enables students to distinguish statics problems from dynamics problems and to identify inertial effects. The course also enables students who are interested in Engineering Mechanics or related disciplines to comprehend the vast applications of the principles of dynamics ranging from structural design of vehicles, electro-mechanical devices such as motors and movable tools, biomedical devices such as artificial heart and bladder, to predictions of the motions of satellites, spacecraft, etc. Course meets 3 hours lecture. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in Engineering Statics (ENR260). Co-requisite: Ordinary Differential Equations (MAT285).

3.00 Credits
The course extends the equilibrium analysis covered in statics to deformable bodies, especially to various members that make up structures and machines. Students will learn the three fundamental concepts in this course, i.e. Equilibrium, Force-Temperature-Deformation Behavior of Materials, and Geometry of Deformation. The course includes the following concepts: stress and strain, stress transformation, temperature stresses, stress and deformation in bodies under axial, shearing, flexural, torsional and combined loadings, shear and bending moment diagrams, and Euler's columns. Course meets: 3 hour lecture. Prerequisite: Engineering Statics (ENR260). Co-requisite: Ordinary Differential Equations (MAT285).

4.00 Credits
This course covers an introduction to the physical and biological structure of the natural environment within a global perspective. The course emphasizes both a local and global perspective on the study of natural systems and the impacts of human society on these systems. Topics include: ecosystem dynamics, international conservation biology, biodiversity, evolution and adaptation, population dynamics, climate, and the role of science and technology in business and society, and sustaining ecosystems and wildlife. Laboratory investigations develop critical thinking and formal report writing skills. The department recommends this course for A.S. degree students as the General Education "Science and Technology" Requirement Area 5.Course meets 3 hrs. lecture; 1.5 hrs. lab. Prerequisites: Writing Skills II (ENG095) and Prealgebra (MAT092) or placement and Reading Skills II (RDG095) or placement.

This course examines the global and local impact of human culture upon the natural systems. Students investigate both destructive and constructive elements of human action within the natural environment. Also, students learn the role of science and technology in the environment and society. Topics include: air and water pollution; toxicity; ozone depletion; global warming; hazardous waste; the role of science and technology in business and society; and renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. Laboratory investigations develop students' critical thinking skills and formal report writing skills. Course meets 3 hrs. lecture; 1.5 hrs. lab. Prerequisite: Writing Skills II (ENG095) and Fundamentals of Math (MAT091) or placement and Academic Reading III (ESL098) or Reading Skills II (RDG095) or placement.

4.00 Credits
This course is an investigation of the ecology, conservation, and diversity of tropical ecosystems. As part of a study-abroad student team, students will learn and participate in scientific field research methods on location in a tropical country. By participating in a variety of trips, and activities students will also investigate the interrelationship of local culture, ecotourism, and conservation. Students will be required to complete a self-designed scientific field research project and participate in a community services project while in the country of study. Past studies have occurred in Costa Rica and Nicaragua but future trips are not limited to these two tropical countries. Course requires additional travel fees and purchase of personal field supplies. Course meets General Education "Science and Technology" Requirement Area 5.Study-Abroad scholarships are available for qualified students. Prerequisite: submission of studyabroad application and approval of the science department.

4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Single Phase & Polyphase Metering, such as terminology and basic principles of meters. Students review basic math (learned in MAT095) specific to metering, and gain knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism principles. Students will be introduced to meter testing equipment, meter diagrams and standards, and learn technical data and how to read watt-hour and demand meter schematics. They will also learn about power factor analyzers, high amperage current transformer cabinets, meter demand theory and demand registers. Students are introduced to various instrument transformers, their design, application and troubleshooting. They learn about high voltage metering equipment and how to safely install the equipment. In addition all students will learn how to connect electrical secondary services up to 600 volts from the pole to the house working off a ladder. Prerequisite: Admittance into the Electric Power Utility Program.

4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basic operation of the underground and substation systems. Students will become familiar with the underground network electrical system and the various job classifications of personnel. Using the power formula to determine wire size an electrical heat shrink joint will be constructed, and manhole entry/exit procedures will be discussed. Cable types and sizes and an equipment orientation will be performed to provide students with a basic understanding of underground apparatus. In addition students will learn the purpose of substations and become familiar with the various types of equipment involved. Students will become familiar with the dispatch center and its functions. Prerequisite: Admittance into the Electric Power Utility Program.
