AVS 214 - Unmanned Aircraft and Autonomous Systems
4 Hour(s)
AVS214 is created to gain insight into the basic elements of autonomous systems used in civilian missions and into Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. This course introduces unmanned aerial systems (UAS) including drones and autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with sensors including those for obstacle avoidance, other instruments, and payloads that rely on programming. Welcome to the drone programming primer for drones, where you will learn software projects that are fueling the progression of today’s drones!
The collection of software languages for drones is transcending its hobbyist roots and is branching out into business applications at a high rate. This is going to translate to demand for drone engineers/developers who understand drone languages. Students learn the fascinating fundamentals of these machines, including programming, customization, acquisition, and commercial use. Rather than building drones from the ground up, students take advantage of existing products and resources, the Tello drone, to adapt to meet specific needs. The course includes programming, operations, flight, drone design, sensing systems, mission planning, regulations, and safety. Students will learn to program and test the Tello drone using Python. In this course you will learn how to set up your Python programming environment and communicate with Tello using UDP, the User Datagram Protocol.

CCS 100 - Cultural Seminar
4 Hour(s)
In Carroll University’s General Education program, Cultural Seminar is required for all incoming freshmen and is designed to support a student’s successful transition into Carroll University as well as an introduction to cultural awareness and competency. The Cultural Seminar, CCS 100, is a course designed as a gateway learning experience through which students explore their own culture and a culture different from their own. Most Cultural Seminar sections examine a different topic, but all have common learning outcomes focused on the understanding of culture. Upon completion of CCS-100, students will have met the following learning outcomes: •Demonstrate understanding of similarities and differences between the student’s own culture and a different culture. •Demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives of a global issue through the common read and course topic. •Be able to express orally and in writing, with supporting materials, an understanding of the student’s own culture and a different culture. •Demonstrate information fluency by gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing information using emerging technologies and traditional media. Students will address the following: ◦Demonstrate the ability to gather and integrate information from a variety of sources. ◦Demonstrate the abilities to assess the credibility and to weigh the value of information from different sources. ◦Communicate knowledge using emerging technologies. •Demonstrate familiarity with Carroll University policies, procedures and support services which will help to facilitate academic success through participation in the required PioCore course components following CCS 100. Students are encouraged to select a CCS 100 seminar topic that interests them, regardless of their intended major. Cultural Seminar topics cover a broad range of ideas and issues, but all with a focus on culture. Honors Program students should enroll in the designated honors sections (CCS 100H section A or B). Non-traditional or returning students should enroll in CCS199.

NCE 302 - New Zealand Maori: Aotearoa Cultural & Natural History
4 Hour(s)
What does it mean to be tangata whenua of Aotearoa? How does one live with a non-Western identity while immersed in a Western dominated society? This course and cultural immersion experience considers these questions by closely examining the interrelationship between the human society and biological and physical environments of Aotearoa, and the interpersonal and societal aspects of the bi-cultural interactions between Maori and Pakeha (European-descended) New Zealanders. It explores how indigenous Maori’s cultural identity incorporates ecological phenomena and interacts with a surrounding hegemonic (dominant) society dominated by a non-Maori Western culture. The course also highlights the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of indigenous Maori about their natural environment. In this CCE course you will learn about New Zealand’s past and present cultural and natural history, and how Aotearoa’s two predominant cultural perspectives view various contemporary social and environmental issues ranging from drug and addiction recovery, economic development, health and food sovereignty, natural resource management, and others.

NCE 333 - People of the Appalachian Mountains
4 Hour(s)
From the Scots-Irish roots of its early settlers to its role in labor relations, the people of the Appalachian Mountains have created a way of life that differs from the rest of the United States. They are a people of great pride and conviction, yet they are often presented in the media as a simple-minded, inbred people who, while humorous to watch, pose a potential threat to outsiders. From the comic strip Snujjy Smith to the movie Deliverance and television series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, this culture remains a mystery or joke to most outsiders. This cross-cultural experience will provide students with an opportunity to learn about a culture similar in nationality and racial makeup, yet different in traditions, ethnicity and environment. Students will examine how stereotypes differ from reality by talking with native Appalachians, visiting historic sites, discovering new interpretations of events, and traversing inhospitable terrain. Students will gain an appreciation for the pride people of the Appalachian Mountains take in maintaining their cultural heritage and in the process recognize their own cultural identities .

NCE 335 - Northwest Narratives
4 Hour(s)
This course focuses on indigenous cultures of the Northwest, specifically the areas from,Seattle to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We will focus on narrative as a means of understanding culture. Oral and written narratives as well as those expressed through indigenous artistic tradition in these regions will help us think about how we “story” our lives and those of others.
Using narratives as our foundation, we will investigate the cultural dimensions of human communication for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the ways in which shared patterns of perception and belief affect the ways we create and share meaning. We will examine the complex relationship between culture and communication from a variety of conceptual perspectives.
