MATC 2025-26 Catalog

DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

the course emphasizes the interrelationships between structure and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization of the entire human body. It is intended to prepare healthcare professionals who need to apply basic concepts of whole body anatomy and physiology to informed decision-making and professional communication with colleagues and patients. (This course also provides the foundation to, and is a prerequisite for, BIOSCI-179.) Prerequisite(s): Two semesters of high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry with a grade of C or higher. Completion of or currently enrolled in ENG-195 or ENG-201. BIOSCI-179 Credits: 4 second semester in a two-semester sequence in which normal human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. Instructional delivery within a classroom and laboratory setting. Experimentation within a science lab will include analysis of cellular metabolism, the individual components of body systems such as the nervous, neuromuscular, cardiovascular and urinary. Continued examination of homeostatic mechanisms and their relationship to fluid, electrolyte, acid-base balance and blood. Integration of genetics to human reproduction and development are also included in this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI 177 with a grade of C or higher. BIOSCI-189 Credits: 3 Basic Anatomy Examines basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology. Learners explore the structure and function of all body systems. BIOSCI-197 Credits: 4 Microbiology Examines microbial structure, metabolism, genetics, growth, and the relationship between humans and microbes. Addresses disease production, epidemiology, host defense mechanisms and the medical impact of microbes. Presents the role of microbes in the environment, industry and biotechnology. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI-177 or BIOSCI-201 with a grade of C or higher. BIOSCI-201 Credits: 4 Anatomy and Physiology 1 This is a general course presenting unifying concepts critical to a basic understanding of the human body. Lectures and laboratory studies use models and dissection of specimens to present integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems. Prerequisite(s): Biology or chemistry and English. Biology may be satisfied with one year of high school biology or one semester of college biology. Chemistry may be satisfied with one year of high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry with a grade of C or higher. Completion of or currently enrolled in ENG-195 or ENG-201. Advanced Anatomy and Physiology Advanced Anatomy and Physiology is the

systems and controls which create a healthy and productive environment in commercial and industrial buildings. BAS-141 Credits: 2 Building Systems 2 Course examines building lighting, alarms, security, network access and building envelope systems. Learners will apply course concepts to the JCI Metasys system extended architecture for managing building operations. BAS-142 Credits: 1 Measurement and Verification Course examines the benefits of performing measurement and verification, as well as testing procedures, tools and equipment, instrumentation used, and how to interpret data. Learners will explore different methods of measuring and verifying energy savings. The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocols (IPMVP) will be covered. Learning outcomes include hands-on experience using kWh meters, energy management systems and data loggers. Concepts will be applied to the process of verifying that energy management projects are working. Course reinforces documentation, communication, project management, and computer skills including word processing and spreadsheets. BAS-143 Credits: 2 Electrical Concepts/Control 1 ABS Learners will explore how to apply basic electrical concepts to building automated systems control. Course examines basic electrical theories, electrical symbols, line and ladder diagrams, wiring schematics, DC and AC circuits, and applies these to building automated systems control. Control theories will be applied to job duties and tasks performed on building automated systems. BAS-144 Credits: 2 Control Theory 2 Course builds upon the electrical concepts learned in Control Theory 1 and examines control systems used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Learning outcomes include control system submittals, sequence of operations, system architecture, control languages and commissioning controls. Control theories will be applied to both HVAC and water systems. Learners will apply course concepts to the JCI Metasys system extended architecture for managing building operations. Prerequisite(s): Complete BAS-143. BAS-145 Credits: 2 Control Theory 3 Course examines control theories for DOC technologies, lighting, alarms, security and building envelope technologies used in various automated systems. Programmable controls and graphical interfaces will be introduced. Hands-on learning lab simulations will build skills and help apply concepts to job duties and tasks. Prerequisite(s): Complete BAS-143 and BAS-144.

BAS-148

Credits: 4

Automated Building Control Systems Course examines JCI Metasys, IVUE Carrier, and Trane Tracer building automated control system technologies. Learners will compare systems and apply concepts to managing automated building control systems. Hands-on learning lab for the Metasys system will help learners build skills in writing, revising and verifying programs. Prerequisite(s): Complete BAS-140, BAS-141, BAS-142, BAS-143, BAS 144 and BAS-150. BAS-149 Credits: 4 Networking Automated Building Systems Course examines servers, network servers and other programs; virtual area networks; wireless controls; and building automatic control networks (BACNET) and LON system architectures. BAS-150 Credits: 2 Energy Auditing Learning outcomes include exploring the process and requirements for completing an energy audit, examining the ASHRAE levels of audits, and relating these to the job duties and tasks performed for building automated control systems. Learners will complete an ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit project as a foundation for developing skills needed for automated building systems related careers. BAS-151 Credits: 2 Commissioning Course explores commissioning-related job duties and tasks involved in starting up new automated building systems and controls. Course learning outcomes include applying the commissioning process to automated building systems, examining commissioning-related roles and responsibilities, exploring the benefits of commissioning, and how these relate to energy management using functional performance testing (FPT) and construction checklists in the commissioning process. BAS-153 Credits: 1 ABS Capstone Project Course Course provides a capstone project for automated building systems control. Learners will identify, plan and execute a project in one of the following areas: energy auditing, commissioning, fire/ security systems, controls technologies or systems technologies. Strategies for training owners and operators will also be explored. Other capstone projects may be done with preapproval by the department. In addition, an optional industry-based internship may be substituted in lieu of a project. Prerequisite(s): Complete BAS-150.
