Fabrication II (ART-106) 3 credits

Continued study of the understanding of scientific glassware and the skills necessary for fabrication and repair.

Operation and Maintenance of Wastewater Collection Systems I (ENT-211) 3 credits

Course Description
This course is designed to train personnel in the safe and effective operation and maintenance of wastewater collection system, including why collection system operation and maintenance, wastewater collection system, safe procedure, inspecting and testing collection system, pipeline cleaning and maintenance methods, underground repair.

Learning Outcomes
Through the Portfolio Assessment process, students will demonstrate that they can appropriately address the following outcomes:

Types of channels and sewers: gravity flow, pressure flow, combined sewer
Hydraulic consideration: uniform flow, gradually varied flow, surface profile, Manning's formula, partial flow, full flow
Sewer system: house and building connection, collection sewers, intercepting sewers, force main, junctions, bends, manholes, and drop manholes.
Design and operation considerations: quantity of wastewater flow, design flow, infiltration, minimum sewer size, minimum and maximum velocity, sewer depth, and minimum cover
Sewer materials and considerations in construction sewer system
Pumps used in wastewater sewer system
Issues regarding general operation and maintenance; and safety procedures.

Gas Distribution (EUT-309) 3 credits

Course Description
Gas Distribution provides the students with the basics of the exploration, production, transmission, and delivery of natural gas. Topics include history and scope of the natural gas industry, the construction and maintenance of the delivery system, regulatory requirements, and the pressure regulation for transmission, distribution, commercial and residential systems. Safety for the customer, community, and the infrastructure is stressed.

Learning Outcomes
Through the Portfolio Assessment process, students will demonstrate that they can appropriately address the following outcomes:

Outline the history, size, and scope of the gas industry including markets, operations and careers.
Explain the relationship between exploration, production, transmission, and delivery of natural gas.
Compare the construction and maintenance requirements for the low-pressure, medium pressure, and high-pressure systems.
Plan a safety system for a Natural Gas System including leak detection, damage prevention, corrosion control, and leak repair incompliance with the Operator Qualification regulation.
Discuss the methods used to insure safe operation of a system.

ALARA Principles (NUC-372) 3 credits

Course Description
This course describes the ways in which radiation doses received by nuclear power plant workers are kept at a minimum. Practices such as contamination control, shielding, and preplanning are discussed. Students receive hands-on instruction and learn shielding, stay-time and doses calculations.

Learning Outcomes
Through the Portfolio Assessment process, students will demonstrate that they can appropriately address the following outcomes:

List types and sources of contamination in nuclear power plants.
List methods of limiting the spread of contamination in nuclear power plants.
Describe the concept, philosophy, and practice of ALARA
Show through a specific calculation the benefit of no shielding when performing a plant repair, considering the collective dose received to all workers on the work order.
Explain the importance of job mock-ups for radiation protection of workers. Cite a quantified factual example of how dose was minimized due to worker expediency at the task.
Summarize DOE STD 1098-99 Chapter 3 (begins on page 59 of DOE STD 1098-99 Radiological Control http://www.orau.org/ptp/PTP%20Library/library/DOE/Misc/Radiological_Control_Standard.pdf) and describe how the chapter material enforces the practice of ALARA
