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.

This course is an introductory course in the latest version of AutoCAD. No prior CAD or drafting experience is necessary. While it would be helpful to have some knowledge of computers, geometry, and design problems, this too is not necessary. This course is designed for students that have had no or very little exposure to CAD. Upon the successful completion of all assigned work in this course, a student should have an understanding of how to create basic geometric shapes and drawings as well as applying dimensions using AutoCAD software.

Students use Solidworks software to create solid models of various machine components. They also convert solid parts into conventional 2-D orthographic drawings which include sections, auxiliary views, and dimensions. Students create assembly drawings and configurations of various parts.

Students in this course learn and apply the mechanical strength, chemistry, and material basic characteristic properties, for materials including; metals, plastics, composites, nano-technolgies, powered metals, and non-metals. Students will have a basic understanding of how to select materials that fit the engineering product design requirements.

This course will instruct the student in manual drafting techniques; however, most of the material may be completed using CAD. It is designed to develop knowledge and basic mechanical drafting skills. Upon completion of this course, the student will have developed skills in the use of drafting tools, lettering, geometric construction, orthographic projection, sketching, visualization, dimensioning, and basic tolerancing.

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.

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 introduces the student to the design and implementation of an automated process controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller.

Covers industrial electrical control using motor starters, relays, pushbuttons, as well as variable speed control of DC motors and power distribution for industry.

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.
