This course covers those skills needed for success in Calculus and many application areas on a baccalaureate level. Topics include the real and complex number systems, polynomials, exponents, radicals, solving equations and inequalities (linear and nonlinear), relations and functions, systems of equations and inequalities (linear and nonlinear), matrices, graphing, conic sections, sequences and series, combinatory and the binomial theorem.

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.

Introduction to unipolar transistors, JFETs, and MOSFETs being used in linear and nonlinear circuits. Students will use high frequency analysis with both bipolar and unipolar transistors. Operational amplifiers are used as linear amplifiers and in nonlinear circuits. Some circuits covered include voltage amplifiers, summing amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, active filters and oscillators.

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.

Topics include: solving linear, quadratic, and rational equations; graphing; formula rearrangement; solving systems of equations; percent; proportions; measurement systems; computational geometry; right and oblique triangle trigonometry; trigonometric functions on the unit circle; and operations on polynomials. Emphasis will be on the application of skills to technical problems. This course is the equivalent to College Technical Math 1A and College Technical Math 1B.

Analysis of digital electronic circuits. Realization of logic gates, using TTL and CMOS devices. Verification of theory is accomplished through laboratory experiments with small and medium scale integrated circuits.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

This course is designed for learners to develop knowledge and skills in all aspects of the writing process. Planning, organizing, writing, editing and revising are applied through a variety of activities. Students will analyze audience and purpose, use elements of research, and format documents using standard guidelines. Individuals will develop critical reading skills through analysis of various written documents.

This introductory course presents the scientific foundation used throughout electronics technology. Topics include DC/AC forms of current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, and power. Troubleshooting practices will be emphasized and computer technologies will be used to enhance abstract theory. Students perform laboratory experiments and prepare technical reports.

Using 3D modeling software and hardware, students will create and virtualize their construction project designs for presentations and portfolio development.
