HVAC211M - Commercial Refrigeration Theory This course covers: system design and layout, selection of proper components, pipe sizing and layout, wiring, controls and troubleshooting. Prerequisite: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC212M

CIS110M - Microsoft Computer Applications I This is a one semester course that introduces the student to the world of MS Applications Office Suite. Topics will include the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer as a research tool, and MS Applications Office Suite (the most current version the college is licensed for). This grouping of programs includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point. This is not a course for a student with no computer skills and should not be considered as such; it is an intense and rapid instruction in the use of the most common MS Applications programs. Students will be issued a computer competency examination on the first day of class. Students who do not successfully complete the competency examination will not be allowed to remain in CIS110, rather, they must register for CIS097 - Computer Fundamentals.(This course cannot be used toward graduation requirements for Computer Science majors.)

HVAC101M - Introduction to HVAC Systems This course introduces the fundamental concepts and principles that apply to the HVAC industry. Topics include a basic understanding of; thermodynamics, industry terminology and units of measurement, common HVAC systems and components, materials used in the installation of HVAC equipment and methods for joining materials. Industry standards and codes are explored. Techniques for proper use of hand and power tools are presented. Safely working on HVAC systems and components is emphasized. (Fulfills Open Elective requirement).

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ADMT118M - Electrical Fundamentals for Manufacturing This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, basic AC/DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: None

HVAC222M - Residential and Commercial Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Lab This lab covers: installation and start-up of central air conditioning systems and heat pumps; troubleshooting and mechanical/electrical repair of various makes and models; pricing components and billing procedures. Prerequisites: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC221M

ECE250M - Childcare Administration and Management This course is designed to provide an overview of the skills and techniques required to effectively manage early care and education programs. Topics include program philosophy, policies and procedures, business planning, personnel and fiscal management, and NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct. Students explore diverse programs available to the community and examine state and federal licensing regulations, as well as national accreditation standards. Students critically analyze the degree to which financial issues of marketing, accounting, and funding affect the management of the center or family childcare home. In addition, students identify components of a healthy organization that manages people and resources in a positive, supportive manner. This course is required by NH State licensing rules for center directors. Prerequisite: ECE 100M and ECE 104M or Permission of the instructor

ADMT225M - Statics This course is an introduction to statics. 2D and 3D forces systems and concept of equilibrium will be presented. Analysis of trusses, frames, shear and bending moment diagrams, centroids and moments of inertia are studied. Prerequisites: PHYS135M and MATH171M.

ETEC110M - Electrical Fundamentals I This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to the National Electrical Code, basic DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Corequisite: Placement into MATH135M.
