HIST 336 - African American History to 1865
Credits: 3
This course explores the history of African-descended people in the United States from their first arrival in the North American colonies through the end of slavery during the U.S. Civil War. Students will investigate the ways African Americans fashioned new worlds and cultures while living under the enormous constraints of slavery and discrimination. Struggles for freedom, full citizenship, and alternative political visions, and the role of such struggles in shaping African Americans’ identification with each other as a people, will be a focus throughout. Students will also treat differences of class and gender within African American communities. Course materials will include both primary and secondary sources, and as we examine these sources we will consider various methods for discovering and interpreting the history of people whose voices are not always easily found in the historical record.

IME 319 - Transportation and Logistics
Credits: 3
This course provides an overview of key concepts in supply chain management directly related to transportation and logistics. Emphasis is on the strategic importance of creating value in those areas (i.e., transportation and logistics) through the systematic study of theoretical principles in transportation management, distribution, and warehousing. The adoption of best practices including the use of third-party logistics providers (3PL) is also covered. The role of information technology to enable improvements in transportation and warehousing is reviewed.

IME 431 - Process Integration with SAP ERP
Credits: 3
This online course provides an overview of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP systems), which provide means for the holistic, real-time integration of the key business processes (e.g. materials management, production planning and control, quality management, transportation and logistics, warehouse management, and sales and distribution) of manufacturing companies. Students learn how ERP systems facilitate process integration using the SAP ERP software and production data from a fictitious company that manufacturers bikes. To assure learning, students are required to work, using the SAP ERP software, on a variety of hands-on exercises related to the fictitious bike manufacturer in which they create transactions (e.g. generate a production or purchase order or execute a production plan) that generate an effective and timely flow of information and transactional data across the involved functional areas of the company, which enables the real-time integration of business processes. With the idea of enhancing learning, some of the hands-on exercises involve the company’s Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Master Production Scheduling System (MPS) systems. Instructional materials, including the SAP ERP software, and multiple learning activities allow students to: 1) Learn about the fundamentals, importance, and benefits of the holistic integration of business processes using enterprise software, 2) Understand the principles and logic of operation of ERP systems, and 3) Develop an appreciation of the capabilities and functionality of the application modules of the SAP ERP software.

IEP 093 - Intensive English Program-Academic Skills with Grammar
Credits: 1
This is an integrated-skills class which focuses on reading, writing, speaking and listening, and grammar. The focus is on teaching language functions through the four skills. This is the course where grammar is emphasized and integrated across the course so students accurately perform the functions expected in each level. While teaching in Skills classes is communicative in nature, attention to accuracy receives equal emphasis. Students are not extensively taught the process and skills related to reading, writing, or listening (as those skills are taught in other classes), but rather they use these skills to perform the target functions. In terms of vocabulary, this class builds vocabulary related to the specific topics covered in each level that will allow the students to perform the functions for each level.
Co-Requisite(s) (must be taken at same time as): Must be taken with Reading, Writing and Listening and Speaking class in the same level
Repeatability: There are 6 levels in addition to occasional preparatory level which is offered if there is a need. Students may repeat the course up to 3 times if they do not pass the course or another course in the same level.

IEP 094 - Intensive English Program-Reading
Credits: 1
This is a course for international students who do not meet the language requirement to be enrolled in the university. These reading classes teach students a variety of reading strategies from letters and sounds to reading longer texts of academic nature. The choice on which reading strategies to focus on each level depends on students’ level of proficiency. Lower levels focus mainly on building students’ vocabulary so as to aid comprehension of texts. As the students move up to higher levels, they are taught more complicated texts and higher-level reading skills, such as skimming, scanning, making inferences, analyzing genre and discourse features of texts. The kinds of texts used also vary depending on proficiency levels, ranging from short personal paragraphs to academic reading texts.
Co-Requisite(s) (must be taken at same time as): Course should be taken with the Writing, Academic skills with Grammar and Listening course in the same level and all courses should be passed in order to continue to the next level
