| Abstract: | This document contains descriptions of adult education courses in remediation, general education, and technical mathematics. They are part of a program developed by the Machine Tool Advanced Skills Technology Educational Resources (MASTER) program to help workers become competent in the skills needed to be productive workers in the machine tools industry. Eight course descriptions are included in the remediation program: adult literacy, college preparatory reading I and II, writing skills I and II, basic mathematics, and beginning algebra I and II. Descriptions are provided for the following 11 general education courses and technical mathematics courses: oral and written communications, introduction to technical communications, interpersonal communications, composition I, college algebra, plane trigonometry, occupational mathematics, fundamentals of physics, human relations, college success skills, and general psychology. Each course description includes a short overview, prerequisites, course objectives, required course materials, course outline, and Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) activities. |
