Students will also demonstrate an increased awareness of the cultural and ethical implications of public speaking. Coursework includes a variety of writing assignments, presentations, and speeches.

Consists of students developing a multi-media case study to integrate and apply learning from their communications courses in a comprehensive manner. Students will evaluate and apply their personal, professional, and ethical growth and critical thinking skills in the study of communication by analyzing a public relations crisis in an organization. They will formulate conclusions, recommendations, ethical implications, and applications for future scenarios for the crisis in the organization.

Focuses on the specific tools for communicating in complex, professional environments. Students develop digital, social, and visual media skills; learn interpersonal, cultural, team, leadership, and ethical skills; learn a three-step process for composing business correspondence, letters, articles, e-mails, instant messages, blogs, tweets, and webpages; develop skills in researching, planning, and writing reports and proposals; write employment messages, letters, and resumes; develop and deliver oral presentations, a group presentation with a PowerPoint, and an impromptu speech; and develop questionnaires and conduct interviews.  This course does not satisfy NHTI’s Humanities or English Literature requirements. 

Reviews and builds upon key elements of mindful communication students have been studying throughout their degree program. Students practice applying mindful communication skills in the workplace and reflect on those experiences to improve interactions with colleagues, customers, clients, and others. In addition, students work in small groups in which each partner has a different major than the other (when possible). Through online discussion posts, students practice mindful communication techniques practice attending to others, confirming understanding, and providing feedback that is respectful, insightful, and useful. Students are encouraged and given the opportunity to engage in regular contemplative practices such as mindfulness meditation.

Introduces the student to program design using the language C++. No prior knowledge of programming is assumed. Focuses on effective structured design of code with variables, decisions, loops, functions, arrays, and introduction of pointers. Use of professional programming design approaches and coding style will be used in lab assignments. Completion of this course provides the programming design skills to continue on with the study of the language C++ or other computer languages.

Introduces students to abstract data types, object-oriented programming, and algorithm analysis. Students will use procedural and object-oriented techniques to program stacks, queues, linked lists, hash tables, and binary trees. Asymptotic (Big O) notation will be used to analyze data structures and sort algorithms. The effective use of C++ topics such as pointers, operator overloading, and templates will be covered. Students will write programs in C++ and Java.

For CPET and other NON-EET majors. Supplements ELET 115C with basic linear and interface electronics. Topics covered include simple power supplies, op-amps, stepper motors, A/D and D/A conversion, and interfacing a computer bus. Advanced digital topics such as synchronous logic, programmable logic devices and digital signal processing will also be covered. The labs demonstrate real world implementation of otherwise abstract academic concepts. Fluency with the use of test equipment and debugging skills will also be stressed in the lab environment.

Provides the student knowledge and skills in a wide range of topics covering data communications, packet transmission, and the internet. Data communications subtopics include transmission media, serial communications, error detection and correction schemes, data security, and signal processing required for long-distance communications. Packet transmission subtopics include local area networks, hardware addressing, LAN building blocks, and wide area networks. internetworking subtopics include TCP/IP communication stack, ISO 7-layer communication stack, network addressing, internet protocol, address resolution protocol, internet control message protocol, IP routing protocols, transport control protocol, user datagram protocol, and client-server API.

The Microsoft Windows API and Microsoft.Net Framework will be covered from Windows Applications to full utilization of the internet. Microsoft Visual Studio.Net with its integrated development environment will be studied and utilized. Topics include Windows services, DLLs, accessing databases using ADO.NET, programming for the internet using ASP.NET, .NET assemblies, and advanced features of programming languages used to access the Widows API and .NET platform. Experience will be gained using extensive hands-on lab assignments.

Provides the student knowledge and skills in a diverse range of topics including structured query language, client-server programming, selected internet applications, and LAMP. SQL subtopics include relational database concepts, the SQL language and relational database design. Client server programming is studied in C++ using socket APIs and Java using socket classes. Selected internet applications include domain name system, hypertext transfer protocol, and file transfer protocol. LAMP topics include a Linux overview, Apache web server configuration, dynamic web pages using PHP, and MySQL relational database. Each student is also required to define, implement, demonstrate, and present a networking project.
