Northeast Community College has approved Bancroft-Rosalie High School to pilot a new dual credit math course this spring. Technical Mathematics I will be taught by Mr. Dennis Zavadil. This course fulfills a General Education requirement in Mathematics for the Associate of Appiled Science degree programs, like auto body, auto tech, etc.
COURSE NUMBER: MATH 1020
COURSE TITLE: Technical Mathematics I
PRE-REQUISITES: Appropriate test score
CO-REQUISITES: None
DESCRIPTION:
This course provides the math skills required in career/technical fields. The course includes a review of arithmetic operations, exponents, algebraic operations, and right triangle trigonometry with emphasis placed applications.
CREDIT: 3 Lecture: 45 Lab: 0 Clinical Practicum: 0 Coop: 0
II. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Course will:
1. Apply arithmetic properties
2. Apply measurement concepts to real-world applications
3. Apply ratios and proportions to problem-solving for technical applications
4. Apply formula manipulation and evaluation for problem solving for unknown values
5. Apply geometric formulas and concepts to problem solving of technical applications
6. Apply right triangle relationships to problem solving of technical applications.
This course fulfills a General Education requirement in Mathematics for the AAS degree(s). One goal of the course will be to practice and develop critical thinking/problem solving skills. In part, this will be modeled during class discussions and/or problem-solving activities. Students will use critical and creative thinking to arrive at reasoned conclusions using methods of quantitative reasoning, scientific inquiry and comparative thought. They will apply and evaluate knowledge, concepts, information, experience, theories and techniques to draw conclusions, arrive at solutions, select a course of action, or engage in artistic expression. Progress in this area will be assessed with the following graded assignment(s): embedded in exam questions
