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 bene fi ts 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, fi re/ 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. BIOSCI – Biological Science (Department 806) BIOSCI-177 Credits:4 General Anatomy and Physiology Examines basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology as they relate to health sciences. Using a body systems approach, 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, and is prerequisite to, Advanced Anatomy and Physiology.) Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in ENG-195 or ENG-201. Two semesters of high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry with a grade of C Advanced Anatomy and Physiology This course is the second semester in a two semester sequence that studies normal human anatomy and physiology using a body systems approach with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization through learning and laboratory activities. The course continues examination of these topics: cellular metabolism; individual components of body systems; and homeostatic mechanisms and their relationship to fl uid, electrolyte, acid-base balance and blood. The course also includes integration of genetics to human reproduction and development. 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. or higher. BIOSCI-179 Credits:4

developing educational material, and writing a resume and cover letter. The safe use of products and chemicals used in the industry/classroom is studied and stressed. The student will develop theory and practical lesson plans to present in the classroom under the supervision of a licensed instructor. Prerequisite(s): Complete BARCOS-333. BAS – Building Automation Systems (Department 481) BAS-140 Credits:3 Building Systems 1 Course examines mechanical building systems and operations related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment and water systems. Course learning outcomes shall apply HVAC systems to controlling building environments. Learners will gain knowledge and skills of systems and controls that 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 Veri fi cation Course examines the bene fi ts of performing measurement and veri fi cation, 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 Veri fi cation Protocols (IPMVP) will be covered. Learning outcomes include hands-on experience using kWh meters, energy management systems and data loggers.
