WELD213M - Metallurgy This course is an introduction to the science of Metallurgy and its application to the welding of various metals. The course includes theoretical studies as well as laboratory exercises. The concepts covered will include: identification of metals; grain structures; heat treatment processes; quench mediums and effects of mass on quenching; composition of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; microscopic examination of metals; hardness, spark and tensile testing; and the effects of carbon and alloy content on heat-treatments and welding. Prerequisite: MATH111M; Corequisite: MATH135M.

ETEC240M - Lineworker II Lab 2 This course is a continuation of Lineworker I. It will include more in depth components of basic lineworker electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented expands on electrical safety, climbing, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course partially satisfies NH Lineworker Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: ETEC140M

HVAC120M - Related Electricity II Lab A lab based continuation of HVAC110M covering electrical circuit controls commonly found in air conditioning and heating systems. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC120M. Prerequisites: HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

BIOL151M - Nutrition Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in the Nutrition course (BIOL150M). (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL150M) (Students must take, or have taken BIOL150M concurrently/previously.) Co-requisite: BIOL150M.

BUS205M - Leadership In this course, students will examine the skills and behavior essential to successful leadership in today’s ever-changing managerial landscape. Topics include leadership theory, motivation, productivity, group dynamics, communication, management, as well as organizational culture and ethics. Students will develop an inter-personal approach to the leadership style that works for them, while maintaining an appreciation for how well- developed leadership skills impact organizational success.

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

MATH210M - Mathematics and Applications in MATLAB This course focuses on the theory and application of numerical techniques using MATLAB, reinforcing and building off a student’s prior mathematics skills. The course allows the student to preview and gain intuitive understanding of more advanced mathematical concepts and explore the power and limitations of modern computation through real world applications and demonstrates the ways in which mathematical algorithms and computation influence society. Using MATLAB students will use state-of-the-art computational tools for error analysis, matrix manipulation, interpolation, data visualization, numerical integration, curve fitting, statistical analysis, and numerical methods of solutions of linear differential equations. Computer solutions are emphasized. Prerequisite: MATH170M, MATH171M, or MATH202M with a grade of C or better.

HVAC114M - Fundamentals of Heating I Theory A through study of the residential high pressure gun type oil burner. Topics covered include: basic combustion theory, how the components of high pressure gun type burners operate, choosing replacement parts, mechanical troubleshooting, oil tank installation, advanced combustion theory, and steady state efficiency testing. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC115M. It is recommended that students have successfully completed or are simultaneously enrolled in HVAC101M, HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

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.
