13.50 Credits
This program is the full 135-hour program mandated by the PA State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators for those desiring to become a nursing home administrator. This program is broken down into 16 modules that may be taken as part of the full program or can be taken as a standalone module for those desiring continuing education units. The review course is included and is 15 hours long.

12.00 Credits
This program is designed to develop sensitivity and competence in the basic tasks required to care for patients or residents in a variety of healthcare facilities. Its purpose is to provide the high school student with a basic level of knowledge and skills needed to care for patients, residents, or clients as set forth by the profession of nursing and regulated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The program is offered throughout the state of Pennsylvania at numerous training locations and clinical settings. The following requirements must be completed (at the student???s expense) prior to the start of class: a physical examination, flue immunization if enrolled in a class between the months of October through March, 2-Stepp PPD, PA State Police Criminal Background Check and an FBI Check if the student has not resided in Pennsylvania for the past two consecutive years or has been convicted of an offense outside of PA. The student should consider these factors prior to enrolling.

1.80 Credits
Educates students on the importance of developmental changes of adulthood, caring for clients with mental health disorders and aggressive behaviors due to aging. An In-Home Care Giver does not work under the direction of a doctor or nurse and provides care for a person who needs help with activities of daily living who prefers to stay in their own home while maintaining independence In-Home Care Givers provide care for those who need assistance in non-medical aspects of their lives, which have become challenging as a result of aging, and can help relieve burdens of family members. This course focuses on demonstrating infection control practices and proper body mechanics to prevent falls or medical emergencies as well as promoting healthy appetites, preventing dehydration, and recognizing signs of difficulty swallowing. Recognizing signs and symptoms of a dying client and recognizing the stages of grief while caring for a client, is also discussed. Students are taught to promote safety and dignity while providing personal care, as well as independence. Practicing time management skills, and utilizing techniques to manage stress are covered.

3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of the materials, safety and equipment issues encountered in the practice of "top down" and "bottom up" nanofabrication. It focuses on safety, environmental and health issues in equipment operation and materials handling as well as on cleanroom protocol. Topics to be covered include: cleanroom operation, OSHA lab standard safety training, health issues, Biosafety Levels (BSL) guidelines, and environmental concerns. Safety issues dealing with nanofabrication equipment, materials, and processing will also be discussed including those pertinent to biological materials, wet benches, thermal processing tools, plasma based equipment, stamping and embossing lithography tools, vacuum systems and pumps, gas delivery systems and toxic substance handling and detection. Specific material handling procedures to be discussed will include corrosive, flammable, and toxic materials, biological materials, carcinogenic materials, DI water, solvents, cleaners, photo resists, developers, metals, acids, and bases. The course will also concentrate on safe equipment maintenance and operation. Students will be given an overview of basic nanofabrication materials, equipment and equipment operation. This technical overview and operational introduction to processing equipment and characterization tools will include: chemical processing, furnaces, vacuum based processing (physical vapor deposition equipment, chemical vapor deposition equipment, and dry etching equipment), and lithography as well as scanning probe microscopy (e.g., atomic force microscopy), optical microscope, electron microscopy (e.g., scanning electron microscopy), ellipsometer, nanospec, and profilometer equipment. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Restricted, see Instructor.

3.00 Credits
This course is the hands-on introduction to the processing involved in "top down", "bottom up", and hybrid nanofabrication. The majority of the course details a step- by-step description of the equipment, facilities processes and process flow needed to fabricate devices and structures. Students learn to appreciate processing and manufacturing concerns including process control, contamination, yield, and processing interaction. The students design process flows for micro- and nano-scale systems. Students learn the similarities and differences in "top down" and "bottom up" equipment and process flows by undertaking hands-on processing. This hands-on exposure covers basic nanofabrication processes including colloidal chemistry, self-assembly, catalyzed nanoparticle growth, lithography, wet and dry etching, physical vapor deposition, and chemical vapor deposition. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Restricted, see Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth, hands-on exposure to materials fabrication approaches used in nanofabrication. Students learn that these processes can be guided by chemical or physical means or by some combination of these. Hands-on exposure will include self-assembly; colloidal chemistry; atmosphere, low-pressure and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition; sputtering; thermal and electron beam evaporation; nebulization and spin-on techniques. This course is designed to give students hands-on experience in depositing, fabricating and self-assembling a wide variety of materials tailored for their mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, and biological properties. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Restricted, see Instructor.

3.00 Credits
This course is a hands-on treatment of all aspects of advanced pattern transfer and pattern transfer equipment including probe techniques; stamping and embossing; e-beam; and optical contact and stepper systems. The course is divided into five major sections. The first section is an overview of all pattern generation processes covering aspects from substrate preparation to tool operation. The second section concentrates on photolithography and examines such topics as mask template, and mold generation. Chemical makeup of resists will be discussed including polymers, solvents, sensitizers, and additives. The role of dyes and antireflective coatings will be discussed. In addition, critical dimension (CD) control and profile control of resists will be investigated. The third section will discuss the particle beam lithographic techniques such as e-beam lithography. The fourth section covers probe pattern generation and the fifth section explores embossing lithography, step-and-flash, stamp lithography, and self- assembled lithography. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Restricted, see Instructor.

3.00 Credits
This course will cover in detail the processing techniques and specialty hardware used in modifying properties in nanofabrication. Material modification steps to be covered will include etching, functionalization, alloying, stress control and doping. Avoiding unintentional materials modification will also be covered including such topics as use of diffusion barriers, encapsulation, electromigration control, corrosion control, wettability, stress control, and adhesion. Hands-on materials modification and subsequent characterization will be undertaken. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Restricted, see Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines a variety of techniques and measurements essential for testing and for controlling material fabrication and final device performance. Characterization includes electrical, optical, physical, and chemical approaches. The characterization experience will include hands-on use of tools such as the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fluorescence microscopes, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A course fee is required. Restricted course: see Instructor.
