3.00 Credits
This course is designed for English learners who want to improve their English pronunciation. Students will soften, but not eliminate, their accent and improve the clarity of their speech. Students will apply rules for sound production, word stress, sentence stress, intonation, rhythm, and speech patterns through modeling, group work, role plays, and presentations. Students develop self-monitoring skills to apply pronunciation skills to academic and professional settings in their major or career area. (Prerequisite(s): Appropriate assessment score) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
In this course, students will explore ways to navigate cultural differences they may experience as international students or newcomers to the United States. They will look at values such as independence and diversity and explore how these values influence behaviors in school, career, and personal relationships. Students will engage in cross-cultural dialogue through field trips, guest speakers, and multi-media sources. They will use their observations to compare and contrast their own values with American values so they can navigate U.S. culture while highlighting their own cultural background and perspectives. (Prerequisite(s): Appropriate assessment score) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
This introductory course provides a basic overview of economic principles that are useful in understanding the economic system in the United States. The course explores the free market economic model, which is the basis of the American economy. The role of government and the rationale for government intervention is included in this study. The course also provides an introduction to microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts and tools which are demonstrated in discussions of current economic policies, issues, and problems. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 5) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
Macroeconomics is a social science that studies how our society can achieve economic goals of full employment, price stability, economic growth, and stable balance of trade. Students will examine protectionism, components of GDP, economic growth, the business cycle and the federal budget. In addition fiscal and monetary policies are defined and examined in terms of the effects those policies have on economic performance and the business cycle. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 5 & 8) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
Microeconomics is a social science that studies how our society can maximize its economic welfare by the efficient use of resource and product markets. To facilitate this study, microeconomics has developed tools such as market models that simplify complex real-world situations. These tools are abstractions of reality from which basic economic principles are derived. These principles act as a guide to individual decisions and for society's public choices. Fundamental issues covered are supply, demand, elasticity, competitive and non-competitive markets. International trade and the concepts of absolute advantage, comparative advantage and restrictive trade policies are also explored. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 5 & 8) 3C/3/0/0

4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course to comprehending the National Electrical Code and the mathematical skills that are required to perform electrical circuit calculations required in the electrical industry. Students will study the history of the code, the code making process, how changes are adopted into the code and the NEC basic structural components. Technical areas include definitions of technical terms and concepts, applied arithmetic calculations, algebraic functions, trigonometry functions and graphing as they apply to circuit analysis and code requirements. (Prerequisite(s): Appropriate assessment scores) 4C/2/2/0
-
5.00 Credits
This course covers the basic concepts of electricity and DC circuits. Topics included are resistance, current, voltage, power, conductors and insulators. Students will learn methods to mathematically determine electrical quantities using Ohm's law and additional electrical formulas, to determine values in series, parallel and combination circuits. The skills and techniques needed to use electrical multimeters to test and troubleshoot circuits is studied. Hands-on experiments for all DC circuit types will consist of building circuits with power supplies and electrical components, and will be evaluated with electrical multimeters. (Prerequisite(s): Appropriate assessment scores. Corequisite(s): ELTN 1410.) 5C/3/2/0
-
5.00 Credits
This course covers the basic concepts of AC circuits. Topics included are the study of electromagnetic principles, sine wave principles and relationships, inductance, capacitance, series and parallel circuits, power, circuit analysis and resonance. Students will learn methods to mathematically determine instantaneous electrical values. Hands-on experiments will include the construction of circuits showing the operation of electromagnets, sine waves, series and parallel resistive, inductive and capacitive circuits. (Prerequisite(s): ELTN 1422 with a grade of "D" or better. Corequisite(s): ELTN 1410.) 5C/2/3/0
