    This course provides a comprehensive overview of penetration testing and vulnerability management, covering legal, compliance, and regulatory requirements, as well as the planning and scoping of tests based on client objectives. Students will learn to perform reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and exploit weaknesses in networks, systems, and applications using various tools and techniques. Emphasis is placed on executing physical and social engineering attacks, post-exploitation tasks, and proper system cleanup. The course also focuses on effective reporting and communication of findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, preparing students to improve an organization's security posture through practical, hands-on experience.

    Chemical and Laboratory Safety provides a fundamental understanding of the safety topics typically of concern in an industrial or research chemical laboratory. The material is appropriate for anyone that may work in an environment where chemicals are used. This course is required in the chemical technology program. NOTE: CPR/First Aid certification is a major component of this course. For those students taking the course on campus, on-line or through a hybrid format, the student has to provide current certification for CPR/First Aid to the instructor at the beginning of the semester. If the student can not provide current certification or is not certified, the student must come to campus at a scheduled time to complete the certification portion.
