4.00 Credits
This course is intended to give the student a thorough understanding of the electronic controls and devices used on the modern automobile powertrain. Topics to be covered include the theory, design, operation, and application of various domestic and foreign electronic control systems. Analysis of system problems, diagnosis of system failures, component and system test procedures, and causes of premature component failure are studied in detail. 4 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ATT-1120.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course students learn the principles of construction, design, and operation of mechanical devices used in the modern automotive drivetrain. Specific topics to be addressed include helical and planetary gear drive systems, torque converters, hydraulic control systems, principles of electronically-controlled transmissions, clutches, manual transmissions and transaxles, driveshafts and axles, universal and CV joints, differentials, transfer cases, and problem diagnosis and component failure analysis. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.

0.00 Credits
summer/fall A ten-week summer cooperative education experience followed by a one credit fall seminar. Prerequisite: Departmental permission.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is intended to introduce students to the fundamentals of environmental biology. It is an introductions to the structure and biota of several aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and students investigate why species occupy specific habitats. The course includes an introduction to Vermont's aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, spatial and temporal changes in ecosystems and species, critical observation and interpretation of landscapes. The course will stress communication skills, as well as critical thinking and teamwork. 3 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
3.00 Credits
The course focus is to provide sound, relevant background knowledge in the science of human nutrition and to translate the scientific principles of nutrition into applicable concepts of care. The course offers opportunity for the student to identify dietary modifications relating to the developmental stage of the patient. It implements the philosophy and objectives of the nursing and allied health programs by identifying the role of adequate nutrition in maintaining the health of the individual throughout the lifespan. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides students with an understanding of the fundamentals of plant growth and development. Higher plant structure, metabolism, growth regulators, and mineral nutrition are emphasized. Students also become acquainted with the diversity of plants and plant-like organisms through study of bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, mosses, and lower vascular plants. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the structure and function of the human body. It emphasizes the properties of cells, tissues, and organ systems and their relationships in health and disease. Topics include general body organization and function, cellular physiology and histology, and the anatomy and physiology of each organ system. Laboratory work parallels lecture topics and includes microscopy, study of human anatomical models, dissection of appropriate laboratory specimens, and physiologic experimentation. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO-2011, this portion of the course includes the study of the structure and function of the endocrine system, circulatory system, immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory system and reproductive system. Other topics covered include acid/base balance and electrolyte balance. Laboratory work parallels lecture topics and includes microscopy, dissection of appropriate laboratory specimens, and study of human anatomical models. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO-2011.
-
3.00 Credits
Students explore the organisms and environmental factors that cause plant diseases. The biology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses including their life histories is studied extensively. A systematic approach to discovery and identification of plant disease is examined. Students learn to recognize disease symptoms. All methods of control are covered, but more emphasis is placed on bio-rational techniques. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO-2040 or instructor permission.
