Lecture) *15 wks In this course students are taught the char acteristics of amplifiers using opamps with respect to amplification, dB, frequency response, <strong>and</strong> input <strong>and</strong> output imped ance. Opamp applications such as invert ing <strong>and</strong> non-inverting amps, summing amps, averaging amps, <strong>and</strong> comparators are introduced with emphasis on the uses of these devices in the telecom industry. Electro-optical devices, such as LEDs, laser diodes, <strong>and</strong> photodiodes, are studied including uses in the telecom industry. Diodes <strong>and</strong> transistors are conceptually introduced. Transformers are introduced in connection with power supplies. Diodes are applied as switches in linear <strong>and</strong> switching power supplies. The frequency response of passive networks <strong>and</strong> ampli fiers is measured. Cutoff frequencies, rolloff, b<strong>and</strong>width, <strong>and</strong> magnitude <strong>and</strong> phrase are discussed <strong>and</strong> visualized via Bode plots. Troubleshooting <strong>and</strong> analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Prerequisites: PHY 130 <strong>and</strong> TTF162.

Topics include: intro duction to networks; types <strong>and</strong> characteris tics of different network architectures <strong>and</strong> network topologies; intra <strong>and</strong> inter-network devices; network operating systems; peer-to-peer <strong>and</strong> client/server environments; LAN setup <strong>and</strong> maintenance, network printing; internal web server. A h<strong>and</strong>son approach will be taken, with team projects throughout. Prerequisite: TTF 261. TTF264 Telecommunications III 4 Credits (3 Lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop) 5 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs Lab) *15 wks This course is designed to train students in the organization, architecture, set up, hard ware <strong>and</strong> software aspects of interconnect ing local area networks (LANs) <strong>and</strong> wide area networks (WANs). Topics include: intro duction to intra <strong>and</strong> inter-network devices; network operating systems; client/server environments; LAN/WAN setups, network printing; internal web server. A h<strong>and</strong>s-on approach will be taken, with team projects throughout. Prerequisite: TTF 263 TTF 265 Telecommunications IV 4 Credits (3 Lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop) 5 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs Lab) *15 wks A survey of current <strong>and</strong> emerging technolo gies in Telecommunications will be present ed. Lectures, interactive learning, demonstrations, <strong>and</strong> site visits will be employed. Prerequisite: TTF 264. Theater THE 101 Introduction to Theater 3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop) 3 Hr/Wk (3 Hr. Lecture) *15 weeks This course introduces students to theater as a collaborative, multi-disciplinary art form. It examines the nature of theater, its origins, its position in our culture <strong>and</strong> the basic elements that come together in modern theater practice: performance, directing, design <strong>and</strong> playwriting. The course will also give students guiding principles for viewing <strong>and</strong> responding to the theater they see. Students can expect to participate in theater exercises to learn about performance, to read plays, to do small design projects, <strong>and</strong> to see at least one professional theater production. A research project with a partner will culminate with in-class performances. There may be modest expense for tickets. No previous theater experience necessary. Women’s Studies (WST) WST 101 Women’s Studies 3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop) 3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks This course employs a range of interdisci plinary sources in order to examine women’s positions in <strong>and</strong> contributions to society. This course covers a broad scope of issues in Women’s Studies, including definitions of feminism, the role of gender in social interaction, women of color, women’s sexuality, health <strong>and</strong> the female body, women in mythology, women in the workplace, violence against women, images of women/ women’s self-image, <strong>and</strong> women <strong>and</strong> aging. Students will be asked to explore their own beliefs <strong>and</strong> attitudes, as well as the attitudes of societies. The course will look at commonalities <strong>and</strong> dif ferences among women, <strong>and</strong> investigate the multiple dimensions of women’s experiences. Part of the course will be to consid er the ways in which institutions (education, the workplace, family) influence women’s lives. Weekly assignments require writing <strong>and</strong> reading a variety of texts. Prerequisite: Successful completion of both a) CMCC writing assessment, or ESL 101 or instructor permission, <strong>and</strong> b) CMCC reading assessment of ENG 050. 118 www.cmcc.edu 2010 ~ 2011
