SOC 296 Special Topics in Sociology
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
The students in this course will analyze selected
topics in sociology. These topics will analyze various
social patterns in con temporary society. The
special topic ana lyzed is not a regular course offering
of the social sciences department. Since
the topic covered in this class differs from year
to year, students should seek further informa tion
from the instructor before registering regarding
the particular topic that will be analyzed. Possible
areas to be analyzed include: family and
life course, research methods, social change and
development, social deviance and mental health,
social organization, social psychology, social
inequality, and general. Possible topics to be addressed
include: gender roles, race and ethnic
relations, aging, deviance and criminology.
Spanish (SPA)
SPA 101 Beginning Spanish I
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
An introductory course in Spanish with emphasis
on development of listening comprehension,
speaking, reading and writing skills. For students
who have had no Spanish or one year of
high school Spanish.
SPA 102 Beginning Spanish II
3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
Continuation of Spanish 101. Emphasis on development
of listening comprehension, speaking,
reading and writing skills. Pre requisite:

Telecommunications
Technology (TET)
TET 201 Telecommunications I
3 Credits (2 Lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (2 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab) *15 wks
This course will ensure that the student can recognize,
construct, analyze, trou bleshoot, repair
and modify data telecom munications equipment
and circuitry. The course starts with the basics
of micro processors then proceeds to terminals,
computer IO, data transmission and modems
analyzing how electronics circuits accomplish
these tasks. The course then continues with
the study of ethernet LANs, the OSI reference
model, the internet and TCP/IP. Prerequisite:
ELT 153; Co-requisite: ELT 145.
Telecommunications
Technology - FairPoint (TTF)
TTF 114 Electrical Circuits
4 Credits (4 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (4 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
In this course students learn to analyze DC and
AC passive circuits using Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s
Laws, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorem,
and Superposition. RC and RL circuits are
analyzed for impedance and res onance. Transformers
are used in step-up and step-down
configurations. Trou bleshooting and analysis by
computer simu lation using MultiSim is stressed
throughout. Prerequisites: BCA 120 and MAT
130.
TTF 143 Electronics I
4 Credits (4 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop) 4 Hrs/Wk (4
Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
In this course students are trained in the characteristics
of diodes, transformers, and rectifier
circuits including filtering. Amplifiers using BJTs
and FETs are analyzed with respect to Amplification,
dB, and input and output impedance. Power
amps are intro duced with emphasis on the
complementary-symmetry class B circuit. The
frequency response of passive networks and
amplifiers is measured. Operational amplifiers
are introduced to build inverting, non-inverting,
and specialty amplifiers. Troubleshooting and
analysis by computer simulation using MultiSim
is stressed throughout. Prerequi site: TTF 114.
TTF 151 Digital I
4 Credits (4 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (4 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks
This course will prepare students to under stand,
test, troubleshoot, and repair digital electronics
circuits as well as work in an engineering environment
in a technical capacity. Abstract topics
such as systems and codes, logic, functions,
and Boolean algebra will serve as a basis for
working with applications involving digital integrated
circuits. Digital integrated circuits covered
will include logic gates; adders and other
arithmetic circuits; flip-flops; shift registers; serial/parallel
converters; counters; com parators;
encoders and decoders; and ana log to digital
and digital to analog conversion. Students will
use equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes,
signal generators and power supplies.
Computer simulation using Electronics
Workbench will also be used to enhance understanding.
Prerequisites: TTF 240, MAT 230,
and PHY 130.
