This course includes a laboratory component incorporating experimental design, microscopic work, and cellular and molecular biology techniques. Along with BIOL1123, this course is part of a two-semester sequence of general biology that can be taken in any order.

Meets MnTC Goal Areas 3 and 10. This course is an introduction to living organisms, emphasizing evolution, biological diversity and ecology. Topics will include mechanisms of evolution, classification and diversity of life, structure and function of organisms, and interaction of organisms at all levels of an ecosystem. This course includes a laboratory component incorporating field activities, microscopic work, dissection and plant systems. Along with BIOL1122, this course is part of a two-semester sequence of general biology that can be taken in any order.

Meets MnTC Goal Area 3. This course, which is open to all students but especially suited for engineering students, gives a theoretical and practical introduction to physics for math, science and engineering majors. It is a calculus-based course. Topics include kinetics of one and two dimensions, force and dynamics, bodies in equilibrium, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational motion, fluids, waves and sound. Lab equipment is used to illustrate these concepts. A mastery of college algebra as well as knowledge of calculus and trigonometry is essential for success in this course. The ability to use computers for creating reports and spreadsheets is needed for lab work. Lab is required.

This is an introductory course for Medical Laboratory Technology students. The course is an overview of the urinary system in health and disease. The course also includes study of other body fluids including cerebral spinal fluid, amniotic fluid, serous fluid, synovial fluid, sputum, semen and feces.

This is an introductory course for Medical Laboratory Technology students which covers the analytical principles, techniques and correlation of results related to diagnostic microbiology. This course discusses microorganisms of medical importance in relationship to disease and diagnosis, emphasizing identification of common pathogenic bacteria, fungi, yeast, viruses and parasites in humans. Other topics included in the course are instrumentation, calculations, quality assurance and quality control, analysis and result interpretation.

In this course students will learn basic techniques pertaining to hair, skin and nails and meet a portion of the hours required by the State Board of Cosmetology. The course content will include a brief overview of all cosmetology topics required for licensure by the State Board of Cosmetology. Upon completion, students could earn up to 75 hours (based on attendance) toward their cosmetology license. Students who elect to take the course a second time could earn up to 75 additional hours toward their cosmetology license.

Meets MnTC Goal Areas 2 and 3. This course is the first course of a two-course series (CHEM2224 and CHEM2225). Students will learn organic chemistry principles including introduction to the classification, structure, nomenclature, reactions and reaction mechanisms of carbon compounds. The following topics will be included: structure and properties of organic compounds, nomenclature, structural representation and interpretation, isomerism, acid base properties of organic molecules, reaction representation and interpretation, reactions of organic molecules (mechanistic representations, proton transfer, nucleophilic substitution, elimination, electrophilic addition and free radical), reaction considerations and basic principles of spectroscopy. The course includes a lab, which will include techniques for the purification, synthesis and characterization of organic compounds and the study of organic reactions. Green chemistry techniques will be practiced whenever possible.

The purpose of this laboratory course is to discuss, perform and relate the concepts taught in the EMT Fundamentals course. This will be done in group discussions and demonstrations, and in individual and group scenarios. This hands-on course will teach and test the physical and mental skills necessary for the appropriate assessment and treatment of patients in small groups and/or individually. Instruction includes rigorous questioning and skill demonstration in front of instructors and peers.
