applying the concepts and skills necessary to perform as
an entrylevel
EMS Field Supervisor or as an Ambulance Service Director
learned in EMT 251*. Internship assignments include experiences
with day-to-day ambulance service operations, supervision
and
administrative responsibilities appropriate for entry-level
supervisor
or management positions within an EMS system. PREREQUISITES:
Permission of instructor. COREQUISITE: EMT 251*. Twenty
clinical
hours per term.

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.

lecture, four laboratory hours per week.
EGR 130 Introduction to Engineering (1) A very brief review
of
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:
