Course Descriptions
ED269 Educating the Mildly and Severely
Disabled
3 credits (3 lec hrs/wk)
This course covers theories and effective techniques for
working with students with disabilities. Students will
receive instruction in various educational approaches
based on various types of special needs. Students
will also learn about services and funding provided for
children with mild to severe disabilities, legal issues, and
family dynamics.
ED280 Cooperative Work Experience
1-4 credits (3-12 hrs/wk)
Cooperative Work Experience in education is a course
which provides students with the opportunity to gain
practical experience in applying teaching or tutoring
methods and techniques. The course also allows
students to explore the field of public education as a
possible career choice.
Prerequisite: Instructor consent.
ELECTRONICS
ELEC101 Electronic Processes
3 credits (6 lec-lab hrs/wk)
This course is designed to introduce students to
electricity technology as it applies to devices and circuits
used in electronic communication, computers and
computer interfaces, and manufacturing systems. The
course emphasizes fundamental electronic concepts,
theory, and practices. Students learn to apply concepts
and theory to practical applications and verify results
using a variety of electronic test equipment. Students
also learn procedures and practices necessary to
maintain a safe working environment.
