Develop English pronunciation to make communication more comprehensible. Focus on vowel clarification, consonant reproduction, intonation, stress, blends, and reductions. In addition, students have the opportunity to acquire new vocabulary, practice presentation skills, and present monologues and dialogue. New students, prior to registration email IntensiveEnglish@fvtc.edu for an assessment to determine your proficiency in English.
Engages students in hands-on activities relating the science principles involved with technical measurement, heating and cooling, fluid properties, electricity, and mechanical advantage to applications in the transportation industry.
Examines basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology. Learners explore the structure and function of all body systems.
Introduction to differential and integral calculus and plane analytic geometry; Limits, derivatives, and graphs of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions; antiderivatives, the definite integral, and the fundamental theorem of calculus, with applications.
Designed for students of mathematics, science, and engineering. This course continues the study of analytic geometry and calculus. Topics included in this course are techniques of differentiation and integration of transcendental functions, analysis of infinite sequences and series, an introduction to first-order differential equations, parametric equations and derivatives of parametric curves, polar coordinates in the plane and integrals using polar coordinates, the analytic geometry of the conic sections, and iterated integration.
Designed for students of mathematics, science, and engineering, this course continues the study of analytic geometry and calculus. Topics included in this course are vectors in two and three dimensions, dot and cross products, lines, and planes; vector functions and their differentiation and integration; multivariate differential and integral calculus, partial derivatives and their applications, gradients, and multiple integrals; line and surface integrals, Fundamental Theorem of line integrals, Green’s Theorem, and Stokes’ Theorem.
This course is a mathematical enhancement transforming General Physics 1 (4 cr) into Calc-based Physics 1 (5 cr). Topics include deriving fundamental kinematic equations, time- and position-varying forces, impulse, work, rotational motion, moments of inertia, simple-harmonic motion, thermodynamics.
This course covers skills needed for success in Calculus and many application areas at the baccalaureate level. Algebra topics include the real and complex number systems, polynomials, exponents, radicals, solving equations and inequalities, relations and functions, systems of equations and inequalities, graphing, and conic sections. Trigonometry topics include the unit circle, trigonometric functions, graphs, identities, equations, inverse functions, solutions of triangles, complex numbers, polar coordinates, and vectors.
General college chemistry which includes the topics of measurement, chemical nomenclature, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, atomic structure, gas laws, thermochemistry, chemical bonding and solution chemistry. The course is for students who need the first one of two semesters of what is typically considered freshman university level chemistry for science majors and university transfer students. Laboratory work assists in understanding chemical concepts and developing problem-solving skills.
This course reviews key math concepts in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, measurement, and data. Topics include simplifying algebraic expressions, solving linear equations and inequalities with one variable, proportions, and percent applications, and working with geometric figures. It covers the Pythagorean Theorem, trigonometric ratios, and unit conversions between U.S. customary and metric systems. Data analysis focuses on organizing and summarizing data, central tendency, and measures of dispersion. Emphasis is on problem-solving, critical thinking, and logical reasoning.
