This course provides for a study of the basic principles and operation of the main units associated with the production of product in the processing industries. The primary emphasis of study will focus on processing units operation. Processes involving the principles of fluid mechanics heat transfer including evaporation, mass transfer including distillation, and mechanical separation will be explored. The basic processes being facilitated within the various units will be examined. The interactions and the transactional phoneme occurring during operation of these units will be addressed. The commonalties, results, and effects, associated with various processes will be related to various allied chemical-manufacturing operations. Instructional emphasis will be limited to the relevant theoretical and practical aspects of the subject matter. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Determine how to analyze a complex process in order to identify sub-processes, as they relate to a unit and its operation; Describe a unit's operation and relate whether its processing characteristics entail a chemical or a physical reaction; Assist an engineer in solving problems associated with each operation and in some instances; with direction, apply solutions to problems; Identify the differences among similar pieces of equipment, their varied operational characteristics, and the safety practices associated with each; Troubleshoot basic problems with mechanical equipment and identify and/or recommend necessary corrective action for proper unit operation; Identify and correct blockage in fluid lines; Recognize problems associated with pumps and identify correct action.

College-Sponsored Experiential Learning (CSEL) is designed to integrate on-the-job learning experiences with classroom studies. These experiences are structured either to explore career options or to prepare for a specific occupation. Students participating in the Cooperative Education and Internship Program gain college credit and are graded for their learning/work experience by the appropriate faculty. Students participating in this 60 hour internship will earn 1 college credit for this experience. Upon successful completion of this hands-on work experience, the student should be able to satisfy instructionally selected competencies from those below according to the number of credits to be awarded. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Explain three program-related concepts that have been applied during the work experience; Describe the ways that technology is utilized in the work experience; Analyze the culture of the host organization; Analyze an operational process within the work experience; Demonstrate how assigned tasks depend on successful communication; Describe how time and activity are managed to meet work-imposed deadlines; Describe an instance where problem-solving skills were needed to analyze a situation in the work experience; Demonstrate specifically how job-related competence has improved; Formulate a self-assessment for career growth and personal satisfaction; Satisfy the competencies of the chosen CSEL placement (to be developed in consultation with the CSEL instructor); Work closely with a faculty mentor in the student's program/major to complete a project which articulates how the experience helps the student achieve program outcomes.
Prerequisite:
Internship Requirements: 18 Credits Completed within Last 5 Years; 9 Credits of Course Work in Major; Overall GPA of 2.5 or Higher; Recommendation by DCCC Faculty within Discipline; Resume Submitted to Office of Student Employment Services

This course is an introduction to philosophical questions as treated by thinkers from a worldwide range of philosophical traditions. The course will explore issues drawn from at least three traditional areas of philosophical investigation. These areas of philosophy include the following: logic (reasoning and argumentation), ethics (moral theory and its applications), metaphysics (the study of the basic properties of reality), epistemology (the theory of knowledge), philosophy of religion (arguments for the existence of God, etc.) aesthetics (the theory of beauty and its manifestation in art and nature) and political philosophy (the study of principles of governing human society). In each case, philosophical problems will be discussed through the an encounter with both Western and Non-Western thinkers and schools of thought. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Identify the basic elements of sound reasoning and make a cogent argument for philosophical position; Recognize and explain the basic issues involved with significant philosophical problems as presented in the course; Identify and demonstrate an understanding of the major philosophical ideas or theories that address the philosophical problems presented in the course; Critically appraise the arguments of philosophers by offering an account of their strengths and/or weaknesses; Compare and contrast the works of two philosophers from different world traditions on a specific philosophical topic.

This course is intended for the beginning student in philosophy. In this course students, after acquiring some background in moral theory, will examine several different contemporary moral problems. The moral problems discussed may be roughly divided into two main categories: the social and the personal. In the category of social problems the course will explore different conceptions of diversity and social justice as they are applied to issues such as: the distribution of wealth and income, ethnic and racial equality, gender equality, LGBTQ+ equality, the freedom of thought and religious practice, the criminal justice system, generational justice, etc. The problems of the personal kind may include the following: conceptions of the good and the good life, truthfulness and honesty, the obligation to keep promises, obligations to friends and family, the place of friendship in a good life, obligations to oneself, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Discuss the major philosophical problems considered in class; Discuss and apply the ethical theories addressed in class; Discuss the views of the philosophers addressed in class and offer critiques of those views; Discuss the issues of diversity and social justice considered in class and apply ethical theories to those issues; Formulate and rationally defend an ethical position on a contemporary moral problem.
