MATH155M - College Algebra with Trigonometry This course covers the essentials of numerical algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and is designed for science, engineering, technology, computer science, and mathematics students. It provides a solid preparation for student toward Precalculus and Calculus track. A short review of elementary algebra is followed by an introduction to geometric and trigonometric functions. Applied problems are solved by integrating the above mathematical strategies. The trigonometric functions include ratios in solving right triangles and vector applications, and Law of Sines and Cosines in solving oblique triangles. Prerequisite: MATH151M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ECE111M - Infant/Toddler Practicum: Nurturing Environments This course is an introductory practicum that includes observation, participation, and teaching in an infant/toddler setting (students choose to take ECE111M OR ECE 112M as their first practicum). The manner in which a “prepared environment” leads to learning through play and stimulating the development of children will be the focus of the course. Students will observe the effects of space, equipment, materials, and relationships upon play, learning, and discovery. Students will plan and implement developmentally appropriate lesson plans based on the NH Early Learning Standards. Incorporating and documenting routine care as an integral part of the curriculum will be emphasized. Students will attend a weekly three hour practicum placement at an assigned site as well as a weekly seminar class. Students must pass this course with a C or better to move on to the next practicum course, ECE 202M. Prerequisites: none

ETEC150M - Power Transformers and Rotating Machinery This course presents information on the theory of operation, application, and installation practices pertaining to equipment that provides for electrical power generation, transmission, and use. The course covers energy and power conversion, AC and DC power systems, power quality considerations, AC and DC generators, transformers, and AC and DC motors. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC120M AND math135m or permission of the Program Coordinator.

MATH135M - Numerical Algebra and Trigonometry This course provides students with the basic algebra and trigonometry skills to compute solutions in their curriculums. The algebra topics cover operations of real numbers, operations between polynomials, solutions of linear equations and inequalities involving numerical and variables terms, manipulations of formula, and word problems. The trigonometric topics cover trigonometric ratios as applied to right triangles and revolutions, and computation of measures in oblique triangles using the laws of sines and cosines.

ENVS125M - Introduction to Environmental Science This lab course is an introduction to ecology, environmental studies, and sustainability for the future. The course stresses a scientific approach toward understanding real world issues in relation to natural systems. Local, regional, and global case studies challenge students to think critically about human impacts with complex issues, gaining insight toward the world’s need for sustainability. Field trips to local sites are part of the course. Prerequisites: High School Biology with a C or better, placement into ENGL110M.

NURS212M - Nursing IV: Gr3 Community Hlth The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

ECON134M - Macroeconomics Macroeconomics analyzes the determinants of aggregate economic activity and the effects of government policy intended to achieve full employment, price stability and economic growth. The course examines the standard formulas to measure the nation’s production and income and spending; analysis unemployment and inflation, aggregate demand and supply, fiscal policies, investment and financial markets, money and banking, and the Federal Reserve and monetary policies. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement) Prerequisite: NONE

HVAC135M - Fundamentals of Gas Heating and Piping Installation Lab An introduction to gas piping distribution systems which includes an in-depth hands-on course covering: the design, installation, component selection, methods of joining, pressure and leak testing, and the ability to safely work on gas distribution systems. The student designs and installs gas piping distribution systems following relevant codes. Troubleshooting, and steady-state efficiency testing of gas utilization equipment is also introduced. Corequisite: HVAC101M, HVAC134M.

BIOL099M - Foundations in Biology This course will cover the main points of high school level Biology. It is meant to strengthen students’ background in Biology and to prepare students for college level life science courses. The course will give an overview of cell biology, the biology of organisms, and the biology of populations. A lab component will strengthen the theory information. These credits are institutional and are not applied towards graduation.
