necessary for independent practice with on and off-line medical
direction in medical and trauma emergency situations. A minimum
of sixteen hours of clinical instruction per week.

EMT 240C* Field Internship (12) Final supervised application of
skills developed in EMT 201 through EMT 220C. Clinical experiences
are performed in emergent, convalescent, urban and rural settings
on ambulances with Advanced Life Support Certification. Emphasis
is on the student's ability to demonstrate organizational skills,
prioritizing care, treatment choices for a variety of patient
demographics, team leadership and professional behavior expected
of an entry-level Paramedic. Successful candidates will have met
all patient encounter outcome objectives prescribed in the National
Standard Curriculum - Paramedic. PREREQUISITE: EMT 220C. A
minimum of 140 contact hours for the semester.

EMT 241* Medical Director's Summative Review (1) Summative
program review and exit interview with Program Medical Director.
Candidates for graduation MUST review all program clinical and
skill evaluation records, exam grades, submit to oral hypothetical
patient scenario examinations and successfully complete a
summative written examination to establish eligibility to sit for the
State EMS Initial Paramedic Licensing Examination. PREREQUISITE:
Permission of instructor.

EMT 251* Field Supervisor's Course (4) An introductory course
in the concepts and skills necessary to perform as an EMS Field
Supervisor or as an Ambulance Service Director. Emphasis is on

software to engineering graphics concepts. Topics include hardware,
software, drawing commands, development of prototype drawings,
editing, file management, 2-view and 3-view drawings, blocks,
isometric and oblique drawings, dimensioning and plotting. One
lecture, four laboratory hours per week.

EGR 102* Engineering Graphics with CAD II (3) An intermediate
AutoCAD course and a continuation of EGR 101*. Topics of study
include 3-view drawing, auxiliaries, sectioning, graphing, attributes,
3-D visualization, user coordinate systems, simple wire frames, faced
objects , surface commands, and alternate methods of 3-D drawing.
PREREQUISITE: EGR 101*. One lecture, four laboratory hours per
week.

some basic trigonometric principles and an introduction to vector
algebra. A study of elementary statics with emphasis upon graphical
and mathematical solutions. Problem solving techniques are stressed
and structured problem format is required. PREREQUISITE: High
school trigonometry or MATH 1720. One lecture hour per week.

EGR 230 FORTRAN for Engineers (3) This course is designed to
introduce students to the vocabulary and grammar of FORTRAN-
77. Greatest emphasis is placed on algorithm design, program
structure and the utilization of the computer to carry out complex
calculations which would be otherwise difficult or unfeasible. Course
content is oriented to complement a student’s mathematical or
engineering background. PREREQUISITES: MATH 1910 with a
grade of “C” or better. Two lecture, two laboratory hours per week.
