Ethical hacking is the process of penetrating computers, networks, and applications that you have official authorization to access in order to determine if vulnerabilities exist.

Once the vulnerabilities are discovered, what should be done to undertake preventative, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the system takes place? This course will teach you how to look for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems. You will use the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but in a lawful and legitimate manner, to assess the security of a target system.

AVIATION Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)/Drone Technology Certificate Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs), and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), are gaining in popularity!

The regulations are constantly changing, opening up opportunities for potential uses and occupations.

Some of the industries that are benefitting from the use drones are agriculture, meteorology, aerial photography, search and rescue, construction and even sports.

The FAA has predicted that annual sales of these units will be about 7 million by 2020 and it is estimated that over 2500 jobs will be created in the State of Maryland by 2025.

The Drone Technology Certificate from Harford Community College will help you learn about these versatile vehicles, understand the constantly changing regulations, and how to fly both small and large professional-use drones. The courses will contain information on how to pass the test to obtain FAA's Part 107 Certificate as well as provide several hours of simulator training and hands on flight training using professional drones. This Part 107 certificate is MANDATORY if you desire to fly professionally.

COMMUNICATION NEW ďƒŞ

Art of Communication The Art of Communication predicates its examination of mundane conversation and dialogue on the back of a hallowed principle: the injunction to love your fellow as yourself.

Communication requires us to inhabit the reality of another, to enter their mind and identify with their perspective, no matter how foreign it may seem. Thus, loving our fellows as ourselves, that great principle of the Torah, is the bedrock upon which good communication is built. This course aims to construct a coherent vision of what is worth saying and then to provide practical knowledge of how to go about saying it—as timely a pursuit today as always.

Theology of C.S. Lewis For many of us, C.S. Lewis is known as the beloved author of The Chronicles of Narnia.

However, C.S. Lewis was also one of the premier theologians of the 20th Century.

Once an atheist, his critical reflections on Christianity led to his conversion. This seminar will discuss two of his primary theological works: Mere Christianity, in which Lewis discusses the essential beliefs of Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters, in which Lewis uses his imagination to create a demon named Screwtape who is teaching his underling how to derail the faith of people who believe. Like two sides of the same coin, Lewis gives us a greater understanding of good and evil and the power of faith.

Jillian Branch I have been working with the Greater Baltimore Community through the arts since 2009. I have worked collaboratively with a number of arts non-profits and later joined the Community Arts Collaborative, Maryland Institute College of Art's (MICA) AmeriCorps program. These experiences propelled me into a new direction to pursue a Master of Fine Art in Community Art at MICA from which I graduated in 2013 with my MFA. My love for the arts has always been a major part of my life, and my goal is to share that love with others, mentor aspiring artists and teach in the higher education setting.

Alison Comoglio I am a professional artist, teacher, and mother. I have a Master’s in Art Education from Towson University and studied fine art in Florence, Italy.

I have been teaching in Harford County Public Schools for 12 years. With the many career opportunities in the art field, let the Fine Arts Academy of Harford County be a stepping-stone for your child’s artistic development, and a safe space to think creatively and critically.
