Astronomy 1010 provides a historical introduction to the science of astronomy, with an emphasis on the nature and evolution of models of the solar system. We spend time on the fundamentals of modern astronomy, including motion, forces, gravity, and the nature of light. We focus on the dynamics and physical properties of solar system objects, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Finally, our study culminates with an investigation of the origin of the solar system. Additional topics may include recent advances in astronomical research and findings from current solar system exploration by automated spacecraft. Astronomy 1010 is a course designed for students having little or no background in astronomy or physics. The course focuses on interpretation of the nature of the solar system based on modern observational techniques and the properties of light and matter.
Prerequisite:
Reading and Writing Skills 2
-
1.00 Credits
This is an optional laboratory course for the exploration of the principles and phenomena discussed in the Introduction to Solar System Astronomy lecture course. This course includes laboratory activities (indoor and outdoor) investigating the properties of the objects within our Solar System in addition to an analysis of Solar System phenomena. Topics include measuring the properties of Solar System objects (their sizes, distances, etc.), analyzing their motions, developing an understanding of the observational effects of Earth's own motion, and an introduction to the methods employed by astronomers to make new discoveries.*A working knowledge of basic algebra will be useful in this course.
Corequisite:
ASTR 1010

3.00 Credits
Stars, galaxies, and the structure of the universe are explored in this descriptive course. Starting with a review of the fundamentals of astronomy, the course then moves on to the formation, evolution, and death of stars. The course then continues with the nature of galaxies, galaxy evolution, current concepts in cosmology, and the large scale structure of the universe. Astronomy 1110 is a course designed for students having little or no background in astronomy or physics. The course focuses on interpretation of the nature of the universe based on modern observational techniques and the properties of light and matter.
Prerequisite:
Reading and Writing Skills 2 + Math Skills 3
-
1.00 Credits
Astronomy 1110L is an optional laboratory for the investigation of the principles and phenomena discussed in Astronomy 1110. This course includes laboratory experiments concerning the nature of light, laws of motion, an introduction to the internet and computer simulations of data taking and analysis similar to current research in astronomy.
Corequisite:
ASTR 1110
-
3.00 Credits
In this course students will participate in an overview of career opportunities available to students in the programs of study offered by the School of Applied Technologies. Students will uncover the real life aspects of these careers, including information on salaries, workload and job satisfaction. Students will map the path from a career aspiration to the actions and timelines that will make that career possible.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to basic heavy equipment operation knowledge and experience, including working with heavy equipment in a safe and responsible manner, operating various types of forklifts used in the industry, and demonstration of rigging & hoisting safety techniques. Hands-on experiences includes lifting, transporting, and placing various types of loads.
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers plumbing and piping systems used in industrial, commercial and/or residential construction. Emphasis is placed on the reading and sketching of piping schematics as well as the fabrication and design of piping systems. This course also includes pump technology and valve maintenance.
