Sociology, Introduction to

This course examines interpersonal relationships of humans and groups and the consequent structure of society. It details the various social processes and concepts which shape human behavior, analyzing such phenomena as organizations, deviance, race and ethnic relations, population, urbanization, social change, and social movements. Religion, education, and the family are studied.

General Physics 1

This course presents the applications and theory of basic physics principles. It emphasizes problem solving, laboratory investigation, and applications. Topics include unit conversion and analysis, vectors, translational and rotational kinematics, translational and rotational dynamics, heat and temperature, and harmonic motion and waves.

Advanced Electronics

In this course, students analyze electronic devices and circuits. They use fundamental mathematical modeling and applications to design circuits with the use of semiconductor devices and operational amplifiers. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to analyze and design complex circuits.

Calculus 2

Students will develop techniques for differentiation and integration of transcendental functions and use the derivative and the integral to solve certain applied problems. They will also extend calculus techniques to curves in polar coordinates and three-dimensional surfaces and form a basic understanding of infinite series and associated applications.

Advanced Circuits

In this course, students apply advanced circuit theory to electrical and electronic devices and circuits. They apply complex network theorems to real-world circuits and electronic systems. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to analyze and design complex circuits with the application of network theorems.

Microprocessors

An introduction to microcomputer programming. Digital codes, registers, and register instruction, logic gates and truth tables are covered. The 7400 series of integrated circuit chips are studied.

Industrial Data Communications

This course introduces students to the latest technologies in industrial data communications with a focus on digital and analog signaling. Topics include topology, the principles of signaling on physical links, transmission media, data formatting, A-to-D conversion, multiplexing, modulation using digital data, error control, flow control and protocols. Special attention will be given to practical troubleshooting and problem solving of industrial data communications.

Psychology, Introduction to

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.

Calculus 1

Students analyze and graph algebraic expressions, especially conic sections, develop an intuitive understanding of limits, derivatives, and integrals, and apply the derivative and integral to certain physical problems.
