This course will introduce students to interpersonal communication theory which can be applied to a workplace environment. Students will learn effective communication strategies that promote success in professional and personal relationships.

3 credits

An introduction to the techniques and standard practices of communicating technical graphics. The class studies and practices drawing skills and learns the drawing standards that support the needs of the design team in advancing ideas. It also provides the foundation for successful drawing communication in the CAD environment. Topics covered include; drawing media and tools, hand drawing skills, perspectives, views, sketching, standard scales, geometric construction, sections, dimensioning, and tolerances.

Gen Ed Attributes: Expressive Arts

3-4 credits

An introduction to mathematical ideas and their impact on society. Intended for students wishing to satisfy the general education mathematics requirement. Co-Requisite Support sections of M 105 are 4 credits; they are offered autumn and spring. 

Gen Ed Attributes: Math Competency

*Mathematics courses higher than 105 will also be accepted

3 credits

Instruction and use of drills, files, threads and threading processes, basic lathe, drill press, and band saw operation, including precision measuring instruments. Fasteners, layout procedures, and basic hand tools are covered.

4 credits

Theory and safe operation of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) of carbon steel on plate and structural components in all positions to industry standards. Visual inspection and destructive testing used to determine acceptability based upon industry standards (American Welding Society Structural Welding Code-Steel). Power sources and electrodes are covered in depth. Materials are prepared using mechanical plate shears and thermal cutting techniques. Thermal cutting techniques are examined relative to theory of operation and safe practices. Processes used are oxy-fuel cutting, plasma arc cutting, and air carbon arc cutting. Theory and operation of oxyacetylene welding examined.

3-4 credits
