EDF-255

Credits: 3

Healthcare Economics Healthcare Economics is a basic course in economics with an emphasis in healthcare. Topics include supply and demand, cost/benefit, resource allocation, and production as well as the conditions under which healthcare is provided by government. EDF – Education Foundation (Department 809) EDF-249 Credits: 2 Orientation to Urban Teaching This course is designed for students who are interested in exploring a career in urban K-12 teaching. Students learn about themselves in relationship to the children they may teach. Students explore different licensure areas and the pathways toward becoming a teacher. Readings and topics are chosen in order to explore how race, class and ethnicity affect the dynamics of teaching-learning relationships in schools. EDF-253 Credits: 3 Issues in Urban Teaching This course is designed to expose you to issues in urban education. Some of you may have already spent considerable time in classrooms as teacher aides or paraprofessionals, or maybe even as teachers. The majority of us spent time in schools as students. Now we are preparing to enter the vital and rewarding field of teaching. As we prepare for this role reversal, we must have a deeper understanding of schooling, particularly in urban settings, so that we can begin to tackle the challenges we will face both within and outside of the classroom. Throughout this course we will challenge one another to grow not only in our understanding of the issues that affect urban education, but also insofar as our own personal philosophies of teaching are constantly evolving. Service learning is a vehicle we will use to get hands-on experience tackling issues impacting urban education. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-249 or SOCSCI-249 with a grade of C or higher. EDF-254 Credits: 2 Field Experience in Urban K-12 Classrooms This is a field experience/service-learning course which allows students who are completing the Teacher Education track to (1) deepen their understanding of how race, language and socioeconomic status impact teaching and learning, (2) observe and participate in classroom management strategies, (3) become familiar with the organization, culture, and curriculum of schools and classrooms in the Milwaukee Public School system. Students complete 40+ hours of observation which is accepted towards fieldwork requirements at several schools of education. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-253 or SOCSCI-253. TB test and criminal background checks are required for school placement

Introduction to Teaching This course is intended for students who wish to pursue a degree in education at a four-year college. The course introduces students to the profession of education and the roles of teachers. It provides an understanding of the context in which education is delivered in culturally pluralistic settings and an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the interpersonal, observational and organizational skills that underlie teaching. Prerequisite(s): Complete EDF-253. Completion of or currently enrolled in EDF-254. ELCTEC – Electronics (Department 605) ELCTEC-100 Credits: 2 Electronics Internship/Co-Op 1 This course provides the first opportunity to gain on-the-job training related to the electronics program in which the student is enrolled. The activities will be coordinated between the employer, the student and the MATC internship/ co-op coordinator. Prerequisite(s): Complete ELCTEC-110 and ELCTEC-130. ELCTEC-101 Credits: 2 Electronics Internship/Co-Op 2 This course provides the second opportunity to gain on-the-job training related to the electronics program in which the student is enrolled. The activities will be coordinated between the employer, the student and the MATC internship/ co-op coordinator. Prerequisite(s): Complete ELCTEC-100. ELCTEC-105 Credits: 3 Advanced Circuits (DC/AC 3) Advanced circuit analysis concepts and techniques that are used by electronic engineering technologists are emphasized in this course. Advanced AC complex number based circuit analysis techniques are applied to series-parallel circuits, superposition, complex power, nodal analysis, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, ideal operational amplifier circuits, circuits containing equivalent circuit models of sensors and actuators, frequency response analysis, and balanced three-phase circuits. Laboratory, simulation and documentation experiences reinforce the lecture material. Prerequisite(s): Complete ELCTEC-111 or ELCTEC-116 and ELCTEC-120 or ELCTEC-118 and MATH-197 or MATH-230. Completion of or currently enrolled in ELCTEC-121. ELCTEC-106 Credits: 3 Advanced Electronics (ECA) This course covers advanced topics associated with the analysis of electronic devices and circuits.
