Advanced concepts from Engineering Graphics 1 are covered as well as several new topics. Lab assignments are done on a CAD workstation. Topics covered include creating working drawings of simple and complex assemblies, redesigning existing parts and assemblies, and creating welded assemblies.

An introductory course which describes, analyzes, and critiques factors which influence the overall performance of the economic system. Topics include supply-demand analysis, national income determination models, fiscal and monetary policy, money, financial institutions, the federal reserve system, unemployment, poverty, international trade, economic growth, inflation, and environmental deterioration. The links between economic problems, theory, and public policy are emphasized.

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.

This course explores the fundamentals of effective oral presentation to small and large groups. Topic selection, audience analysis, methods of organization, research, structuring evidence and support, delivery techniques, and other essential elements of speaking successfully, including the listening process, form the basis of the course.

Students spend part of the course in the Machine Shop learning basic lathe, mill, drill press, and grinder operations as well as layout. Part of the course is taught in the welding lab where students learn the operations of gas and arc welding.

Basic methods of fabrication used in modern manufacturing, welding, electroforming, casting, metallic coating, anodizing, plating and chip removal, using numerical control, and hydraulic systems.

Advanced concepts of topics from Intro to MET are covered as well as several new topics. Lab assignments are done on a CAD workstation. Topics covered include drawing primary and secondary auxillary views, sections, threads and fasteners, and creating drawings of weldments.

Study of forces in equilibrium; types of forces, couples, vector and scalar quantities, force systems, friction, centroids, centers of gravity, moments of inertia of areas.

A continuation of the basic solids class that includes assembly drawings, exploded isometric drawings, customization, sheet metal drawings, import/export functions, thin features, and the use of Microsoft Office features to increase productivity.

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.
