DL 335 - Integrated Bridge-Engine Room Watch Management
Lab Hours: 2, Units: 1
Prerequisite(s): CRU 200
The nature of this course is very flexible from the perspective of a Marine Transportation student. As it is designed as a platform to gain experience in handling complex situations involving the engine plant and how they affect vessel operation as a whole, students may be permitted to enroll more than once. The course runs concurrently with various sessions of EPO 235 Steam Plant Watch Team Management (for MET and ME License cadets), and in those courses, no two vessels ever experience exactly the same problems or situations. This means that a student enrolled in this course could conceivably work with multiple vessels. Assignment to one specific vessel is the minimum, but students may participate in other sections as well. Enrollment during later semesters may be permitted upon consultation with ET and MT faculty.

ECO 101 - Microeconomics
Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
Prerequisite(s): MTH 100
Introduction to microeconomics and the behavior of economic agents. The economic way of thinking is now very prominent in interpreting modern life, including global business activity. Microeconomics, fundamental in analysis of business and human behavior, is preferred because it gives quantitative predictions. Students analyze the allocation of scarce resources, costs of production, supply and demand, consumer preference, elasticity, and utility theory. They study determination of prices and output in competition and monopoly; the role of public policy, and comparative economic systems, and some modern views of agent behavior.
