CONSTRUCTION • MANUFACTURING • INDUSTRY Fundamentals of the Test and Evaluation Process This three-day intensive course will describe how to plan and execute a major test and evaluation program. Industry and government experience over the last two decades has resulted in a set of guidelines and processes that are vital to ensuring the success of T&E as a timely indicator of progress and the achievement of system performance objectives during a development program. Much of this experience is being applied in military systems development programs today through recently revised Defense Department policy, procedure, and guidance documents. Although this course will focus on application of this experience in the Defense Department, the principles apply equally well to all complex systems and products such as commercial aircraft, automobiles, and communications and control networks. Past course participants have included representatives from Industry and University research laboratories, as well as the Departments of Energy and Transportation, including the Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration. Taught by seasoned professionals with up-to-date knowledge, the course will consist of lectures and case studies, as well as individual and group exercises. Each student will receive a notebook that includes the presentation materials with a narrative text, excerpts from selected publications, and a certificate of completion. Transcript available.

This nationally recognized Medical ON DEMAND Billing and Coding online training certificate program is designed to prepare students to fill positions for medical coding and billing professionals. Skilled medical billing and coding technicians are in high demand these days!

Also, patient information must be entered into computer databases to comply with new Federal legislation requiring the use of electronic patient records. Finally, health care facilities are having difficulty attracting qualified workers, mostly because of the lack of both formal training programs and sufficient resources to provide on-the-job training for coders. All of these factors have combined to create a huge potential job market for qualified medical records technicians, and this course will provide you with the skill set and expertise that will make you irresistible to prospective health care employers. Upon successful completion of the Medical Billing and Coding course, students will be prepared for an entry-level position doing medical billing or coding in a medical office setting and will be prepared to sit for the CCA national certification exam.

Dolley Madision: America’s First, First Lady Dolley Madison, wife of our 4th President, created and defined the role of First Lady of the United States. Beautiful and lively, she had her choice of husbands, but chose “my great, little Madison”. She was a gracious and charming hostess, but also a politically shrewd operator who used her skills to advance her husband’s career. During her years ruling over Washington’s social life, she was known as the “Presidentess”. People sought her out for presidential pardons and patronage, and she delivered or rather her husband did.

Louisa Catherine Adams America’s only foreign-born first lady, Louisa Catherine Adams, faced many challenges as she grew into a confident, nineteenth-century feminist. She saw her son kidnapped in New York and chased down the kidnapper through dangerous streets. She traveled from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Paris in the dead of winter, through a landscape riddled with the battlefields of Napoleonic Europe. Yet perhaps her greatest challenges were her husband, John Quincy Adams, and her famous mother-in-law, Abigail Adams. Tuition: $19 Sessions: 1 Course: 25914 J.

Witches of Salem Village One of the most scandalous episodes in American Colonial history was the Salem Witchcraft delusion of 1692. Why were ordinary men and women - and a few dogs - suddenly thrown into jail, tried as witches and then executed? Why was an aged man pressed to death under large stones? How did the clergy and magistrates figure in the hysteria of the moment? Were there real witches in Salem and real acts of witchcraft? All of these topics and more will be discussed. The topic is an interesting one, though it can be distressing at times. Tuition: $19 Sessions: 1 Course: 25916 J. Rath Fri. 4/20 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM HCC - Edgewood Hall, Rm. 132

COMMUNITY EDUCATION Civil War Profiles: Henry Wager Halleck

Islam: Fact and Fiction (cont.)

Preble’s Boys (cont.)

The life of Henry Wager “Old Brains” Halleck will be examined with particular focus on his Civil War experience. Halleck, on paper at least, was America’s pre-eminent military strategist. He was at the forefront of translating the top military theorists of his day. In spite of his excellent military education, Henry Halleck was never able to translate that into battlefield success. Halleck’s timidity exacerbated Lincoln, who came to view Halleck as little more than a clerk, after promoting him to General in Chief.

It is a course designed for experienced riders. For the purposes of this course, an experienced rider is one who has the basic skills and is a current rider with a motorcycle license. The Advanced Rider Course is designed to compliment and build on the skills learned and practiced in other rider courses. Special emphasis is given to self-assessment, risk management, rider behavior, riding strategies, and overall skills development, particularly in braking,

Advanced Rider Course (cont.) cornering, and swerving techniques. This is a brand new class, being offered at HCC as one of only 4 locations within Maryland. Students use their own bikes and get feedback from very experienced instructors. A motorcycle license is required. Recent real time mileage on a personal motorcycle is a must, and students must be able to demonstrate good basic skills to be allowed to continue. The class covers 3 hours of classroom instruction, a break for lunch, and 5 hours on the range. License, registration, and insurance will be checked before class. Proper attire includes DOT certified helmet, protective eyewear, full-fingered gloves, long pants, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and sturdy over-the-ankle boots. Parental or guardian approval, in writing, is required for participants under age 18. Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition, and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course. Because of the high level of traction required, the riding activities will NOT be conducted if the riding surface is wet. The classroom activities will be conducted and the riding portion rescheduled for another time. During the riding activities, each rider will be evaluated by the instructors on their ability to accomplish the riding objectives. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue or should consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2). Riders who are not allowed to continue will not be eligible for a refund and may have to pay an additional fee to be enrolled in the BRC2. To complete the course riders must pass a 20-question knowledge test administered at the end of the classroom activities. Riders must also meet the objectives of the riding activities. Riders completing the course will receive a Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program Completion Card. Senior adult tuition waiver applies.

Aqua Zumba

NEW

Known as the Zumba “pool party,” Aqua Zumba gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing, stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief. Aqua Zumba uses mostly Latin music rhythms such as Merengue, Cumbia, Salsa and Reggaeton, but can also use a variety of upbeat tempos as found in other world music. Because of the resistance of the water, Zumba movements will be slower and adjusted to the water environment however, the workout can be just as intense.

Security Tips • Do not engage in conversation with people who make you feel threatened. • Being alone and under the influence of alcohol and drugs makes you more of a target to assailants. • Never drive (or ride with anyone) under the influence of alcohol and drugs. • Lock vehicle and store valuables and books in the trunk or out of sight. • Walk with others to and from class when possible; there is safety in numbers. • Use well-lighted areas and walkways.

HCC Crime Statistics*

• When walking to or from your vehicle, scan the area for suspicious subjects. If something makes you uncomfortable, walk to an area where other people are. • If you are confronted by an armed assailant, the decision to comply or resist is a personal one. Any property you may have is not worth your life. • Keep your keys ready when approaching your vehicle to reduce the time it takes to enter. • When driving at night, keep your doors locked and windows up. • When stopped at a traffic signal, maintain space between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can pull away if necessary. • Trust your intuition. Call College Security at ext. 2272 to report any suspicious activity.

Drug and Alcohol Philosophy Statement Harford Community College is dedicated to maintaining an educational environment in which students may be prepared for an enriched and productive participation in society, and thus enhance the quality of community life. The College is committed to providing a campus that is free of illegal drug use, and drug and alcohol abuse, and in so doing, supports the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act states that the use of illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and campus members can significantly impede the learning process. The College recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as an illness and a major health problem. The College also recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as a potential safety and security problem. Therefore, the College Life Office offers a number of educational programs throughout the year to encourage awareness among students and employees about the hazards of drug and alcohol abuse.

employment and/or enrollment, criminal and/or civil prosecution. Maryland Law Article 27, Section 461, 463, Rape/Sexual Offenses outlines what constitutes the offense(s) of sexual assault and the criminal penalties. Copies of the statute are available from the College Security Office. The College Security Office is open 24 hours a day to assist victims of sexual assault. Security officers can be reached on campus by calling ext. 2272 and from off campus at 443-412-2272. Complaints/incidents of sexual assault occurring at HCC or during the course of HCC-sponsored activities must be reported to College Security. College Security, with the consent of the victim, will notify the Harford County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office to conduct official criminal investigations of any charges of sexual assault. College Security will also contact a staff member from the Student Intervention and Prevention Team, if available, to assist the victim through the reporting and referral process. Appropriate College administrators (associate vice president for student development, vice president for student development and institutional effectiveness, and/or vice president for marketing, development and community relations and/or division deans) will also be notified of the incident(s). Precautions will be taken to involve only those persons with concrete knowledge of the incident or with a legitimate educational interest. At the request of the victim, College Security will arrange for transportation to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center for medical treatment. The hospital is equipped with Maryland State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits. Victims of sexual assault will be referred to the Sexual Assault/Spousal Abuse Resource Center (SARC) located in Bel Air, Maryland, for counseling services.

Student Intervention and Prevention (SIP) As members of the campus community, students have a shared ethical responsibility to report concerning behaviors they experience or observe. Concerning behaviors include emotional distress, unusual behavior, abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs, thoughts of suicide or homicide, disturbing written material, and other troubling behaviors. If you experience or you know or observe someone who exhibits any of these behaviors, it is your duty to report them on a Report Form for Concerning Behavior, www.harford.edu (Student Life Tab). You may also report the situation to the Associate Vice President for Student Development or designee, Student Center Room 254. While HCC does not have a counseling center, the College does have a SIP Team. SIP Team members are hand picked campus employees who, through their professional skill set, are capable of providing assistance to the student as necessary. The SIP team may meet with the student in question, assess the situation, provide resources, and/ or mandate an assessment. A student who exhibits behavior that is a threat of harm to self or others may be temporarily suspended from HCC on an interim basis pending a disciplinary proceeding or medical evaluation.
