DCC – Digital Content Creation (Department 508) DCC-150 Credits: 3 Introduction to Digital Content Creation This core course introduces digital content creation — the process of creating stories for emerging multiplatform delivery. The course examines the importance of traditional video production techniques/applications within emerging content delivery, also the similarities and differences between broadcasting and multiplatform delivery, long- and short form production and large/small screen presentation. Learners differentiate between forms via “hands-on exploration.” Students become familiar with the technology used to implement promotional schemes for successful digital content distribution (e.g. via the web, social media outlets and mobile technology). Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in TV-101 and TV-181. DCC-152 Credits: 3 Intermediate Digital Content Techniques This course focuses on the principles of design and operation of video systems as incorporated in multimedia, interactive and web design. This includes understanding, choosing and operating appropriate video cameras, digital SLRs, lighting techniques, audio acquisition and non-linear editing. Students will produce and post-produce several productions of increasing complexity for multi-platform delivery as it pertains to digital content creation. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in TV-105. DCC-153 Credits: 3 Digital Content Creation Practicum This course prepares students to work in the digital content fi eld by giving them practical, structured and real-life job experiences in a nonthreatening, student-centric and instructor led environment. The fundamentals of teamwork, client relations and self-paced and directed creative applications of technology and organization are emphasized. Job search techniques and job site observations are also discussed. Milwaukee PBS digital and social outlets will serve as practical labs and content repositories for students whenever possible. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in DCC-152. DCC-154 Credits: 3 Digital Content Engagement As new media and technology evolve, students will need to not only problem-solve with current electronic tools, but also with an eye toward the

Invasive CVT Clinical 1 This course presents the student with his or her fi rst opportunity in a direct patient care setting, while beginning to perform the duties of a CVT. Here the student will be able to correlate didactic and laboratory classes with the day-to day duties of a CVT. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-120. CVTECH-142 Credits: 3 Echo Case Review In this course, multiple cardiac pathologies will be studied and addressed through the presentation of echocardiographic case studies. Students will explore a variety of pathologies and how these anomalies can be evaluated through the utilization of cardiac sonography. This course will primarily involve the presentation of case studies and the assessment of clinical abnormalities as seen by cardiac imaging and advanced Doppler techniques. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-140, CVTECH-144, CVTECH-145 and CVTECH-149. CVTECH-143 Credits: 3 Ultrasound Principles and Physics This course provides the basic knowledge of the physical principles and instrumentation of diagnostic ultrasound. Topics covered in this lecture course include transducers, color- fl ow imaging methodology, bioeffects and acoustic output labeling standards. Students will be introduced to how diagnostic ultrasound works, how to properly handle artifacts, scan safely, evaluate instrument performance and ultimately prepare for board and registry examinations. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-149. CVTECH-144 Credits: 3 Advanced Echo Practicum The structure and function of the cardiac system will be addressed by introducing the specialized techniques of noninvasive cardiovascular testing. There will be an evaluation of cardiovascular sonographic anatomy and physiology through advanced measurement techniques of speci fi ed hemodynamic parameters. This course will explore various pathologies and how these anomalies are evaluated by echocardiography. The student will learn how to assess clinical abnormalities of the human heart as it is seen by cardiac imaging and advanced Doppler techniques. Prerequisite(s): Complete Echocardiography Fundamentals The structure and function of the cardiac system will be addressed, as well as how various pathologies and congenital anomalies are demonstrated and evaluated by echocardiography. Students learn how to assess clinical abnormalities of the human heart as it is seen by cardiac imaging, utilizing conventional and echocardiographic stress testing, intravascular. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-121. CVTECH-121. CVTECH-145 Credits: 4
