    Prerequisite: ROB 2040 The course will be structured to provide the student with an understanding of the relationship between "real time" control systems and industrial devices and machines. The advanced instruction set of programmable controllers will be studied relevant to concepts and structures of automated control systems. Various applications will be defined in which the student will develop the written programs for each hardware and software specification of the process problems, including field devices, data networks, and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). The use of the Robotics Lab equipment will give the student practical programming and troubleshooting skills used in the maintenance of automated systems. Course/lab fees
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: ROB 1640 and ROB 1660 This course provides the system aspects for applying robots in automation. Topics include the process requirements, programming, and communication for implementing robotic applications. The student will gain practical information on how these systems are interfaced together mechanically, electrically and software wise. Robotic simulation and machine vision sensors will be utilized by the students in robotic work cell applications. Course/lab fees
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: ROB 1500 or consent of instructor This course will cover the maintenance aspect of robot controllers. Students will study the techniques and components involved in maintenance including: controller settings; electrical/electronic architecture; analysis and troubleshooting techniques of robot controllers. Students will utilize observations, documentation, and prints to diagnose and correct problems on the robotic controllers. Course/lab fees
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: Acceptance into the program and/ or consent of the instructor The course will provide an overview of the historical development and current practice of Respiratory Care. The student will be familiarized with common abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system and with the respiratory care modalities used to manage these problems. A brief review of the goals, indications, contraindications and potential hazards of respiratory care procedures will be introduced through class discussion, and outside research projects. Equipment related to Respiratory Care modalities will be demonstrated and floor therapy procedures will be introduced in the College Respiratory Therapy Lab. Current issues and controversies involving the field will be discussed. A tour of a local hospital Respiratory Care Department and a brief exposure to clinical practice is included. This course includes a weekly lab session. Course/lab fees
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance into the program; RSP 1220, BIO 2640 or consent of the instructor The student will review in depth the normal structure and function of the cardiopulmonary systems of the human body and the interactions between these systems. The pathology and impact of common cardiopulmonary disorders will be reviewed through class discussion, outside research projects and verbal presentations. Diagnostic and therapeutic respiratory care procedures related to monitoring of cardiopulmonary status and treatment of cardiopulmonary disorders will be briefly introduced in this course. Course/lab fees
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance in the program and completion of RSP 1220, or consent of instructor This course focuses on the operation, application, and monitoring of respiratory therapy devices used to deliver floor therapy in the clinical setting, including: medical gas therapy, aerosol and humidity therapy, aerosol drug administration, bronchial hygiene therapy and expansion therapy. Equipment related to these procedures will be studied in depth and floor therapy procedures will be practiced in the College Respiratory Therapy Lab. This course includes a weekly laboratory session. Course/lab fees
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance into the program; and completion of RSP 1220 and RSP 2250 or consent of the instructor Corequisite: RSP 2310, or consent of the instructor The student will gain practical experience in the hospital of concentration will include: terminology, patient care arts, patient assessment, pharmacology of aerosol drugs, chart review, therapy documentation, infection control procedures, equipment cleaning and sterilization, medical gas therapy, aerosol and humidity therapy, aerosol drug administration, bronchial hygiene therapy, expansion therapy and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Students will also complete a variety of case studies, critical thinking and patient care plan assignments as well as competency assessment of related clinical skills. A minimum of 16 hours per week of supervised clinical practice in a variety of settings will be included. Course/lab fees
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance into the program and completion of RSP 1220 and RSP 2230, or consent of instructor The student will become familiar with techniques and equipment used for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Emphasis is placed on acid-base balance and blood gas studies, EKG monitoring/ interpretation, chest X-ray interpretation and pulmonary function testing/ interpretation. Other related diagnostic tests are reviewed through assigned student outside research projects. Course/lab fees
  • 4.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance into the program; and completion of RSP 1220 Corequisites: RSP 2270, or consent of instructor This course focuses on the operation, application and monitoring of respiratory care procedures used in the adult critical care setting, including: artificial airways, CPR, secretion removal and mechanical ventilation. Equipment related to these procedures will be studied in depth and critical care procedures will be practiced in the College Respiratory Therapy Lab. Much of this course will concentrate on familiarizing the student with adult mechanical ventilators currently being utilized in the clinical setting and with the procedures the therapist uses to set up, monitor, maintain and wean the adult patient from mechanical ventilation. This course includes a weekly laboratory session. Course/lab fees
  • 6.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Acceptance into the program; and completion of RSP 2270 and RSP 2310 or consent of instructor Corequisites: RSP 2350, or consent of instructor The student will continue to gain experience in floor therapy procedures and will be exposed to respiratory care procedures of a more complex nature, including: adult critical care procedures (artificial airway insertion/monitoring/care, critical care CPR, arterial puncture and blood gas analysis, drawing blood from arterial lines, suctioning and others) emergency room care and adult mechanical ventilation (patient assessment, ventilator selection/preparation, initiation of ventilation, vent-patient monitoring, vent troubleshooting and vent weaning). Students will continue to complete related case studies, critical thinking and care plan worksheets and competency assessment of clinical skills. In addition, students will complete a variety of rotations in hospital or home care sites. A minimum of 24 hours per week of supervised clinical practice will be included. Course/lab fees
