  • Federal Indian Law and Policy

    "Federal Indian law," as it is called in the cases and statutes, is a framework imposed by the United States government for its own purposes on peoples who were present before the United States and who are still present. In this context, the difference between "American Indian" and "Native-American" is nonexistent. Both are names given by outsiders. There are no American Indians or Native Americans. There are many different peoples, hundreds, bearing their own names.

    "Legalization" is a name for the process of incorporating into a legal system that which exists outside and independent of the system. "Legalization of American Indians" means the process by which United States law reached the lives of peoples who were in existence prior to that law.

    The Western system of government by law is the product of long and bloody struggles among the peoples who came to colonize this land and later imposed "federal Indian law" on the indigenous peoples. Some say the system developed into its present form by incorporating information indigenous peoples offered to the colonists. In any event, the legal system that created "federal Indian law" did not come full-blown into the world. It has a history and that history is still happening. A study of the "legalization of American Indians" sheds light on that history as it is intertwined with the ongoing histories of the indigenous peoples to whom it is directed. (P. d’ Errico 2001).

    Intended for education and non-science majors, this introductory course is primarily for students lacking high school physics and chemistry.  Through  lecture  and  hands-on  demonstration,  principles  of  chemistry  and  physics  will  be  introduced.  A non-algebraic approach is used to study mechanics, heat, atomic structure, chemical combinations, electricity, and fundamentals of earth science.

  • Human Anatomy and Physiology I

    While intended for PreHealth/Pre-Nursing and Biomedical majors, any student would benefit from this course. Students will learn general principles of cell and tissue biology that apply to all living systems. The structure and function of skeletal, muscular, nervous systems along with homeostasis, control, and integration of the human body will be emphasized through lecture and hands-on demonstration. 

  • Physics II

    This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence of calculus-based physics designed for students in engineering or physical science. Topics covered are electricity and magnetism (such as Coulomb’s law, Gauss’ law, electric fields, electric potential, dc circuits, magnetic fields, Faraday’s law, ac circuits, and Maxwell’s equations) and optics (such as light, geometrical optics, and physical optics).

  • Calculus II

    This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence. The course covers methods of integration, applications of integration, Taylor’s theorem, infinite sequences and series, and polar coordinates. Graphing calculators will be used throughout the course.

  • Engineering Mechanics -- Statics

    Topics include equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; static analysis of structures including trusses, beams, frames and machines; coulomb friction; area and mass centroids, moments and products of inertia.

  • Engineering Mechanics—Dynamics

    This course covers the effects of forces upon motion of material bodies. Topics include kinematics, kinetics, work-energy, and impulse-momentum for particles and rigid bodies.

  • Introduction to Engineering Calculations & Problem Solving

    This course is an introduction to engineering calculations and problem solving using the computer. Students will learn how to solve and present engineering problems using computer software such as spreadsheets, graphics programs, and database programs. An introduction to engineering design is presented and a small design project will be completed by the students. (2 Lectures, 1 Lab)

  • Calculus I

    This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence that is designed for students in engineering or physical science. The course covers functions; transcendental functions; limits and continuity; derivatives and their applications; and integration theory. Graphing calculators will be used to explore real-life applications.

  • Physics I

    This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence of calculus-based physics designed for students in engineering or physical science. Topics covered are mechanics (such as motion, Newton’s laws, work, energy, system of particles, and rotational motion), mechanical waves (such as oscillations, wave motion, sound, and superposition), material properties, and fluids.

  • EDEC 108 Introduction to Early Childhood Education

    Provides an overview of the early childhood education issues, practices, and methodology. In addition, students learn about CDA functional areas, indicators, activities, and training and assessment steps.

  • Fundamentals of Musical Creation

    Designed for Education majors, this course is valuable for anyone interested in learning to read music. It provides basic theory in the rudiments of music reading and notation and includes note and rhythmic reading, scales, intervals and triads. No prior music experience is required.

  • American Popular Music

    Students pursuing an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science for transfer purposes can take this course to fulfill the Core III Arts and Humanities requirement. This class introduces students to the history of American popular music beginning with its roots in minstrel music and American jazz. It will also move through Elvis Presley’s rockabilly style to today’s rap and hip-hop scene. This class covers the social, political, and historical context in which today’s popular music was developed.
