4.00 Credits
A study of the fundamentals of curriculum design and implementation in developmentally appropriate programs for children. The student will define developmentally appropriate practices; describe the process of child-centered curriculum development; and develop guidelines for creating developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor learning environments. The student will apply an understanding of teacher roles in early childhood classrooms; prepare a developmentally appropriate schedule including routines and transitions; and select, plan, implement, and evaluate developmentally appropriate learning experiences for children. Prerequisite: Ability to Benefit Standards.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will learn the application of management procedures for early child care education programs. Course includes planning, operating, supervising, and evaluating programs. Topics cover philosophy, types of programs, policies, fiscal management, regulations, staffing, evaluation, and communication. The student will analyze the planning functions; evaluate the operational functions; and interpret the supervisory functions of an administrator. The student will summarize the evaluation of functions in an early care and education program; explore methods of effective communication; and utilize skills in speaking, writing, computation, and computer applications. Prerequisite or co-requisite: Ability to Benefit Standards.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth study of the skills and techniques in managing early care and education programs, including legal and ethical issues, personnel management, team building, leadership, conflict resolution, stress management, advocacy, professionalism, fiscal analysis and planning parent education/partnerships, and technical applications in programs. The student will discuss codes of conduct; describe communication skills needed in effectively administering an early care and education program; discuss the importance of parent education/partnerships in early care and education programs; explain the administrator?s role in advocacy; describe personnel management skills necessary to administer programs; explain legal issues which impact programs; evaluate fiscal responsibilities of an administrator; and examine current technology and issues in early care and education administration. The student will utilize skills in speaking, writing, computation, and computer utilization. Prerequisite: Ability to Benefit Standards.

Topics include measurements and conversions, states of matter, physical and chemical properties, basic atomic structure, periodic trends, basic molecular structure, inorganic nomenclature, classification of chemical reactions, elementary stoichiometry, behavior and structure of solids, liquids, and gases, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and acidity and alkalinity. Prerequisite: MATH 0320.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a general course of chemistry that covers the fundamental facts, principles, theories, laws, and concepts necessary for further studies in science or science related subjects. Topics include measurement and unit conversion, states of matter, chemical formulas and nomenclature, chemical equations, stoichiometry, atomic structure and periodic properties, chemical bonding and molecular geometry, and properties of gases, liquids, and solids. Prerequisite: MATH 1314. A previous course in chemistry is recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of General Chemistry I. Topics include properties of solutions, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, properties of acids and bases, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to categories of organic substances. Prerequisites: CHEM 1411 and MATH 1314.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the language, techniques, methods and principles of chemistry for chemical and refinery plant operators and technicians. Topics include measurements and conversions, basic atomic structure and periodic trends, basic molecular structure, inorganic and organic nomenclature, and organic functional groups. The states of matter, behavior of solids, liquids and gases, and the properties of solutions and solubility are addressed, especially as they relate to organic functional groups and molecular structure. The chemical properties of selected functional groups are described in the context of elementary stoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, acidity and alkalinity, and oxidation and reduction. Prerequisite: MATH 0320 and TECM 1303; or MATH 1314.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds necessary for further studies in science or science-related subjects. Lecture topics include classification, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structural characteristics, physical properties, reactivity and reaction mechanisms of hydrocarbons and selected functional groups. Laboratory topics focus on methods for identification and separation of organic substances. Prerequisite: CHEM 1412.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I. Lecture topics proceed with nomenclature, stereochemistry, structural properties, physical properties, reactivity and reaction mechanisms of selected functional groups. Laboratory topics focus on isolation and synthesis of pharmacological substances and qualitative organic analysis of an unknown. Prerequisite: CHEM 2423.
-
