ANTECH – Anesthesia Technology (Department 541) ANTECH-102 Credits: 2 Introduction to Anesthesia Technology This course introduces distinctive areas of anesthesia technology and the role of the technologist. An overview of typical surgical procedures and instrumentation and surgical department orientation are covered as well as medical terminology, blood-borne pathogens and nonpatient-related emergencies. Research papers on related topics and a group project will be required. Guest speakers and site visits to local healthcare/diagnostic facilities may be scheduled. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Anesthesia Technology program (10-541-1). ANTECH-117 Credits: 3 AT Fundamentals 1 Students are introduced to the surgical suite and the typical daily duties of an anesthesia technologist. Didactic as well as laboratory instruction are provided to supply the student with the required theoretical principles of the profession. Competencies will be demonstrated through written examinations, verbal explanations and demonstrations of clinical technique. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Anesthesia Technology program (10-541-1). Complete ANTECH-102, and BIOSCI-177 or BIOSCI-201. ANTECH-118 Credits: 3 AT Instrumentation 1 The primary focus of this course is the anesthesia machine. However, all ancillary equipment, including but not limited to gas cylinders, hospital supply lines, ventilators and absorbers, will also be covered. The setup, calibration, operation, basic troubleshooting, maintenance and safety checks for each is taught. Competencies will be demonstrated through written examinations, verbal explanations and demonstrations of clinical technique. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Anesthesia Technology program (10-541-1). Complete ANTECH-102. ANTECH-120 Credits: 2 AT Clinical Procedures This four-week course is the student’s first opportunity to observe and gain experience in a healthcare facility. Twelve hours per week are scheduled in the hospital setting under direct supervision. Students will observe all procedures and may begin to assist in nondirect patient duties. Students experience various AT environments as scheduled. An additional four hours per week are required for on-campus lectures/discussions. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Anesthesia Technology program (10-541-1). Complete ANTECH-117 and ANTECH-118.

ANIM-145

Credits: 3

ANTECH-133

Credits: 3

Intermediate 3D Animation This course continues from ANIM-140 Timelines, Keyframes and Kinematics. We will explore and analyze mechanical and quadruped motion from several sources in order to accurately and believably replicate motion with our digital objects and creatures. We will also explore topics such as various constraining techniques and automated approaches used during this type of animation using 3ds Max. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANIM-140. ANIM-150 Credits: 2 Advanced Animation In this project-based course, students will create a short film (two-three minutes in length) using 2D or 3D animations. During this class, students will be expected to meet production deadlines, to follow proper animation production processes, and to create an entertaining film for the final project. Intensive studio time will be available for the students. Students will have access to instructor at all times. Students will be expected to communicate with the instructor each class to discuss progress. This course allows the student an in-depth study of the animation production process. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANIM-145 or ANIM-121. ANIM-156 Credits: 3 Broadcast Animation This course introduces students to the concepts of “motion graphics” using bitmapped imagery. Using the industry standard software, After Effects, students will explore animated composition techniques, along with comparison of 2D and 3D technologies widely used to produce animation for the television and video industries. ANIM-160 Credits: 2 Animation Portfolio Each student finalizes a series of 30-second to three-minute animated shorts demonstrating his/ her capabilities. The collection is prepared for distribution to potential employers or to four-year animation degree programs. In addition, each student prepares a professional-level paperwork folio and a personal ID package (stationary, business cards, etc.), and is required to participate in the class preparation for the year-end departmental portfolio show in conjunction with other degree programs. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANIM-124 or CSG-181. ANIM-165 Credits: 3 Motion Analysis for Animation This course will guide students through the concepts and techniques used to add natural movement to digital animation. Students will work through several motion analyzation techniques and apply them to their animations. The techniques explored in this course include rotoscoping, using depth sensing cameras and 3D motion capture. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANIM-145 or ANIM-121.

Anesthetics The clinical importance of drug delivery is presented with an emphasis on the most commonly administered anesthetics, as well as other perioperative drugs. Additionally, the federal drug approval processes, various delivery methods, dose calculations and a review of the nervous system are presented. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANTECH-102. ANTECH-137 Credits: 3 AT Fundamentals 2 The concepts learned in ANTECH-117 will be expanded upon. Focus will be on the various types of surgical procedures, including emergency situation management and how the role of the anesthesia technologist varies in each. Patient transport, monitoring and positioning will be stressed. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANTECH-120. ANTECH-138 Credits: 3 AT Instrumentation 2 This course is a continuation of ANTECH-118 and expands upon the scope of anesthesia instrumentation. Various pieces of airway equipment, monitoring devices, point-of-care testing analyzers, and cleaning and disinfection of anesthesia equipment will be discussed and demonstrated. Competencies will be demonstrated through written examinations, verbal explanations and demonstrations of clinical technique. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANTECH-120. ANTECH-139 Credits: 3 Anesthesia Technology Clinical Experience This course presents students with their first opportunity in a direct patient care setting while beginning to perform the duties of an AT. Students will be able to correlate their didactic and laboratory classes with the day-to-day duties of an anesthesia technologist. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANTECH-120. ANTECH-185 Credits: 2 Anesthesia Technology Clinical Seminar Students discuss with other students the cases most recently performed during their clinical experience. Research papers will be required on a variety of related topics as well as a review of the written journal detailing the clinical phase of instruction. This course will help to prepare students for the written examinations that will lead to credentialing in AT. Guest speakers may be scheduled. Resume writing and interview skills will be covered. Prerequisite(s): Complete ANTECH-139. ANTECH-186 Credits: 4 Anesthesia Technology Clinical Experience This course provides the practical application of the principles covered in the didactic and laboratory portions of the program. Students observe, assist and perform duties assigned in the clinical setting. A written journal detailing the clinical phase of instruction will be required. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in ANTECH-185.
