Students will analyze the effects of musical elements, especially those effective in pain management and relaxation and associated with the healing process. (Prerequisite: none) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab) MUSC1103 Introduction to Music The course offers an approach that emphasizes the progressive development of listening skills and an appreciation of music as an expression of the human condition. Students are introduced to music elements through simpler music styles and familiar recordings and gradually build up to the most rigorous forms of music. The structure of the course provides the skills necessary to listen to all music with knowledge and sophistication. Goals and reflections become increasingly sophisticated as students progress through the course, resulting in progressive development of their listening skills, active vocabulary, elements of music, and significant terms. Students will be required to attend music concerts.

This course will give a clear distinction of maintenance, minimal acceptable repairs, and adjustments that can only be approached and accomplished by trained technicians for guitar and violins. (2 credits: 2 lecture, 0 lab) NANO1000 Introduction to Emerging Technologies This course will provide an overview of nanotechnology, what the word “nanotechnology” means, and where it comes from. It also explores the differences between the macro-scale, micro-scale, and nano-scale. We will explore how old nanotechnology is with a brief history and why nanotechnology is so popular today. We will look at nanotechnology today including the worldwide investment in nanotechnology, workforce demands, equipment used in nanotechnology, and some examples of nanotechnology being used to enhance consumer products. (Prerequisite: None) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) NANO1100 Fundamentals of Nanoscience I This course will consist of lecture, laboratory exercise, guest speakers and field trips to introduce students to the world of nanoscale science. The course content will follow and enhance the biology course that is taken simultaneously with this course. Topics will include DNA extraction, protein function, bio-catalysis, biotechnology and cellular development. Students will complete a research project related to nanoscale biology. (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) NANO1200 Fundamentals of Nanoscience II Similar to the first semester NANO1100 cours, this course will continue the investigation into nanoscale science with the emphasis on chemistry and physics applications. Students will perform experiments with photonics, x-ray diffraction, material properties, etc. in concert with the Gen Ed courses. This course will include trips to laboratories, guest lecturers, and a classroom lecture component. Students will work independently and in teams and prepare a subject appropriate research paper. (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) NANO1210 Computer Simulation This course will cover the application of computer simulation (modeling) to nanoscale systems. In addition, this course provides a visualization of concepts and interactions covered in NANO1100 and NANO1200. The course will cover applied statistics, design of experiments and impact of input parameter variations for biological and mechanical systems. (1 credit: 1 lecture/0 lab) NATS0510 Science Foundations The purpose of this course is to introduce basic scientific principles and theories for students intending to take Human Anatomy (BIOL 2511) or other introductory science courses. It is intended for students with no recent background in biology. *Ten core objectives will be covered in every class, while the remaining five objectives will be tailored toward a particular career focus as noted by the course emphasis. (Prerequisite: None) (4 Credits: 3 lecture/1 lab) NEME2000 New Media Technology and Strategies This course focuses on the creation and use of new media technologies specific to providing content through social media networks. These networks include sites and applications such as blogs, microblogs, video sharing sites, RSS-feeds, podcasts and other emerging Web technologies. The course studies how to construct conversations and interactions specifically serving various business goals. This study includes how sites used analytic tools to identify and target specific audiences such as by gender, age, ethnicity, and self-identification factors. Students will demonstrate the use of these tools to engage these users, visitor, and customers. Special attention is given to various tools and applications used to monitor traffic and conversations to serve these efforts, establish thought leadership, and increase engagement. Students will examine various platforms to complete assignments 2020-2020 151
