Introduction to Chemical Technology This course introduces students to chemical technology, Students learn to use the fundamental skills needed to work safely and productively in the chemical laboratory. The proper procedures and methods for recording, manipulating and applying data are noted. Measurement of intensive and extensive physical properties of materials using common laboratory instruments is stressed. Spectroscopy and chromatography are introduced. CHEMT-105 Credits: 3 Introduction to Instrumental Methods Introduction to Instrumental Methods presents the learner with the opportunity to become familiar with the basic uses and operation of modern analytical instrumentation. Real samples will be analyzed using gas and liquid chromatographs. Optical instruments include UV-visible, atomic, atomic emission and fluorescence spectrometers. CHEMT-107 Credits: 2 Industrial Methods of Analysis Tests and analyses similar to those employed in industry are used to determine the characteristics of raw materials and finished products. Standard and official methods as outlined by ASTM, AOAC, FCC, etc., are used in the testing of petroleum products, metals, ores, foods, soaps and detergents, and water. Instrumental and classical methods are used. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-105 with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-109 Credits: 3 Chemical Processes Chemical Processes focuses on the role, structure and operations of industrial chemical laboratories. The activities, responsibilities and functions of the various business activities are examined from the perspective of a technician working in research and development or technical service laboratory. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEM-211. CHEMT-111 Credits: 5 General Chemistry 1 A study is made of the basic principles of modern chemistry, correlating atomic structure, the theories of chemical bonding, and the structure and reactivity of matter. Laboratory work is included and demonstrates the principles discussed. Prerequisite(s): Complete one year of high school chemistry with a grade of C or higher, or complete one year of college chemistry with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-112 Credits: 5 General Chemistry 2 A study is made of kinetics, equilibria, thermodynamics, nucleonics, coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and topics in organic and biochemistry. Qualitative analysis is emphasized in the laboratory course. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-111 or CHEM-211 with a grade of C or higher.

Quantitative Analysis A study is made of the general principles of volumetric and gravimetric analysis, acidimetry and alkalimetry, redox process, solubility equilibria, complexation titrations, and optical and electrometric methods. The evaluation of analytical data is stressed. Laboratory work is included. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-112 or CHEM-212 with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-116 Credits: 5 Instrumental Analysis Instrumental Analysis examines the design, construction and use of modern chemical analytical instruments. Topics included are absorption and emission spectroscopy, gas and liquid chromatography, and electrochemical methods. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-112 or CHEM-212 with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-117 Credits: 3 Organic Chemistry 1 Lecture topics include the principles of bonding, stereochemistry, mechanisms, kinetics and spectrometry applied to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and simple mono-functional organic molecules. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-112 or CHEM-212 with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-118 Credits: 3 Organic Chemistry 2 A second semester course in organic chemistry that builds upon concepts learned in CHEMT-117. Spectroscopy and the chemistry of oxygen containing compounds are emphasized. Prerequisite(s): Complete CHEMT-117 with a grade of C or higher. CHEMT-119 Credits: 2 Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 Laboratory work focuses on the synthesis and purification of organic compounds illustrating CHEMT-117 or CHEM-217. Must be admitted to the Chemical Technician program (10-603-1). CHILDD – Child Development (Department 307) CHILDD-108 Credits: 3 ECE: Early Language and Literacy This three-credit course explores strategies to encourage the development of early language and literacy knowledge and skill building in children birth to 8 years of age. CHILDD-110 Credits: 3 ECE: Social Science, Art and Music This three-credit course will focus on beginning level curriculum development in the specific integrated content areas of social studies, art, music and movement (SSAMM) for children from birth to 8 years of age. reaction mechanisms. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in

ECE: STEM This three-credit course will focus on beginning level curriculum development in the specific integrated content areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in children birth to age 8. CHILDD-117 Credits: 3 ECE: Credit for Prior Learning This three-credit course examines early childhood professional experience for the purpose of receiving credit for prior learning. Course competencies include access needed support services on campus and online; analyze professionalism in the early childhood field; identify core-abilities; identify what a competency is within a course; examine the courses and outcomes of the WTCS Early Childhood Education program; analyze performance assessment; compare professional experience with early childhood competencies; compile materials for performance assessment of course(s); determine plan of action for program completion. Two years in ECE field required. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to Early Childhood Education program (10-307-1) or the Child Care Services program (31-307-1) and two years in early childhood education field and registry recipient. CHILDD-140 Credits: 3 Behavior and Emotional Challenges This three-credit course prepares the student to build rapport with children and their families, create supportive learning environments; demonstrate positive social-emotional teaching strategies; define specific discipline and guidance strategies; assess challenging behaviors; describe specific diagnoses typically related to challenging behaviors; develop individualized, positive guidance plans; and communicate the need for positive, consistent, team approaches to including children with challenging behaviors in typical community settings. CHILDD-141 Credits: 3 Special Healthcare Needs This course will have a medical focus and covers frequently encountered specialized healthcare needs of individuals with disabilities, preparing the student to examine altered body systems function, including sensory, gastrointestinal (tube feedings), bowel and bladder elimination, respiratory (allergies and asthma), cardiovascular/blood, musculoskeletal, neurological, skin/immune, and endocrine (diabetes) related issues. You will not be practicing medicine, but you will gain a better understanding of medical issues and professionals who can support you in establishing policies and procedures that assure safe, quality care for all. CHILDD-142 Credits: 3 Inclusion Capstone Family and Team During this course, you will be spending time with a child in the community settings that child experiences such as their home, school, child care, grocery store, medical settings,
