Drone Regulations Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)/Drone Technology Certificate Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), and First Person Video (FPV) aircraft 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 of 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 2,500 jobs will be created in 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 control, maintain, and repair them for successful use and employability!

You bought a drone. And you're probably chomping at the bit to get the battery charged and take it out for the first test flight. But before you do, you need to be aware of the rules and regulations that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put in place for flying drones in the U.S. And you should also be aware of your rights and the rights of those around you. This class will teach you about the basic rules and regulations guiding the use of flying drones.

ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY Activated Sludge Design Criteria and Performance Standards

Introduction to Process Mathematics

All Operators making process control decisions need to be aware of plant design criteria and regionally recognized performance standards. This is an important concept even if the plant is performing well. When upsets occur or you are dealing with seasonal I/I flows, comparing plant operations to design criteria and performance standards is one of the first steps to take when troubleshooting and making corrective process control decisions. This course is intended for the intermediate to advanced level operator and will focus on utilizing design criteria and performance standards when making process control decisions. Topics covered include standards and design criteria, key elements of process performance standards, evolution of activated processes, typical hydraulic sizing of BNR treatment components and a problem solving exercise where operators will assume that all or part of the plant’s design criteria is not available and will need to use performance standards to develop substitute design criteria for a fictitious activated sludge wastewater treatment plant.

Operators entering into the industry will benefit from a mathematical overview related to water and wastewater. This course is a stepping stone to more complex mathematical formulas presented in the Applied Process Mathematics course. Practical problem solving topics will include conversion formulas, direct proportions, area calculations and volume calculations. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to select correct conversion values for conversion formulas; solve for one unknown; and set up equations for work-related work problems.

Topics include measures of precision and accuracy, illustrating data with charts and tables, discrete and continuous frequency distributions, testing hypotheses to some level of statistical significance, and optimization techniques. In addition to analysis theory, one benefit of the course is a solid foundation in using Excel for day-to-day analysis of data.

REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Enrollment in Continuing Education courses is limited to those 16 and older, except for courses that specify they are open to those under 16. 2. Non-citizens must provide original documentation (most current resident card, work card, or visa) to register. Students must register in person at the Continuing Education Registration Office in Edgewood Hall. Please note: Non-citizens who have never taken a credit or noncredit class at HCC must go to the Credit Registration Office in the Student Center the first time they register. 3. The College prohibits the enrollment of individuals listed on the National or Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sex Offender Registry or with the Harford County Child Advocacy Unit.

CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS

Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the College. All address changes should be reported to the Continuing Education & Training Office. If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.

HARFORD STUDENT ID

All students will be assigned a Harford student identification number. The H-ID begins with a capital H followed by eight randomly assigned digits. HCC will still need a Social Security number for certain mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment. Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

PAYMENT

Payment for all Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. Failure to pay will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376, opt. 1 before the class begins in order to drop a class.

Residency Surcharge Out-of-county residents (except senior adults, disabled retired students, and students receiving a Maryland National Guard member tuition waiver) pay a $20 surcharge per course for each Continuing Education course that charges tuition. If you were an out-of-county resident at the time of your last registration and have since moved in-county, you must complete a Student Statement of Domicile for Tuition Purposes form and provide two forms of identification in order to have the $20 surcharge waived when registering. You may obtain the form by calling 443-412-2376, opt. 1 or visiting the registration desk in Edgewood Hall. Appropriate forms of identification include a driver’s license, voter registration card, or utility bill showing name and Harford County address. All out-of-state residents pay a $35 surcharge per course for all Continuing Education courses that charge tuition. Fees, where applicable, are the same for all students.

Refunds and Withdrawals If the College cancels a class, 100% of the tuition and fees will be refunded by check. Allow approximately four weeks from the date of cancellation to receive the refund. If payment was made by credit card, call 443-412-2208 to request that the refund be posted to your credit card. To withdraw from a continuing education class, call 443-412-2376, opt. 1 or stop by the registration desk in Edgewood Hall to complete a withdrawal form. The withdrawal becomes effective the day you contact the office. Book returns must be accompanied by a copy of the withdrawal form. If you withdraw before the first class meeting, the College will refund 100% of the tuition and fees. If you withdraw before the second class meeting, the College will refund 50% of the tuition but no fees. There will be no refunds after the second class meeting, and no official withdrawal is necessary.

WAIVERS

Disabled Retiree Tuition Waiver Any resident of the State of Maryland who is retired from the workplace by reason of total and permanent disability is eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses. These courses are state-funded and contain the icon u in the course description. If the course description contains this icon, disabled retirees do not pay tuition for the course. Fees, however, must be paid in full. Please note that there is no out-of-county surcharge for disabled retired students.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, call 443-412-2376, opt. 1 before the class begins in order to process a drop. 60 | For registration information, see page 60 or call 443-412-2376. | www.harford.edu/cet

General Information

GENERAL INFORMATION To receive the disabled retiree tuition waiver, the student must provide certification from the Social Security Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board, or the appropriate federal pension/retirement authority stating that the student receives both disability and retirement benefits [Annotated Code of Maryland section 16-106-c]. A copy of the student's Social Security Administration benefits letter must be provided with the student’s registration form. The waiver is valid for one school year, or the remainder of the school year, beginning each summer.

Maryland National Guard Waiver Members of the Maryland National Guard are entitled to a waiver of 50% of tuition only for continuing education vocational-technical/ certification courses. Eligible students must provide a letter from their commanding officer certifying that the member of the Maryland National Guard has at least 24 months remaining to serve or has agreed, in writing, to serve for a minimum of 24 months. The College’s outof-county and out-of-state residency surcharge is waived for courses meeting eligibility for a Maryland National Guard waiver, but the student is responsible for all other fees.

Maryland National Guard Dependents Dependent spouses and children of a member of the Maryland National Guard and Maryland Air Guard may request a tuition and fee waiver when a Guard member is called to active duty for a minimum period of six continuous months of service. Eligibility for the waiver for a given semester will be determined by the military status of the Guard member as of the date of the start of a regular fall or spring semester or the start of the first summer session. Eligible students must provide a copy of the spouse’s/parent’s military orders to active duty, along with the dependent military identification card.

Senior Adult Tuition Waiver Maryland residents 60 years of age or older at the time of registration are eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses.

Born as the result of a bitter territorial dispute over royal land grants, the Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 to settle the boundaries for Pennsylvania and Maryland. After 1820, when the Missouri Compromise created political conditions which made the line important to the history of slavery, it became associated with the division between the free and slave states. Today the line is still seen by many as a symbolic dividing line for regional attitudes and customs.

God/Gods of Religious History There are hundreds of attempts to prove gods or a God exist and there are an equal number of attempts to prove God (or gods) do not exist. Most would concede that gods or God is beyond human conception; yet we persist on trying to prove our point. Polytheism, Pantheism, Theism, Monotheism, as well as Agnosticism and Atheism, have been used to support both sides of the argument. So where are we today? Does God exist or not? And how can we know one way or the other? This course is designed to examine the reasoning without concluding that one over all others is right.
