WELD121M - MIG and TIG Welding Laboratory This course instructs students in the safe, hands on utilization of the GTAW, GMAW & FCAW processes as they are used in industry. The GTAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys & titanium. The GMAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel & aluminum. Resistance welding, plastic welding and thermal spray equipment may also be used. Prerequisites: WELD111M, WELD112M.

WELD101M - Fundamentals of Welding This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with an overview of the four major processes: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Oxyfuel Welding (OFW). Emphasis will be placed upon the safety requirements for electric and gas welding processes based upon the ANSI Z49.1 Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes. Fire prevention, confined spaces procedures, hot work procedures, material handling and general shop safety will be studied. An introduction to welder qualifications will be covered as well as joint configurations and welding terminology used in the field. Professional work traits expected in the welding field will be discussed. Prerequisites - None

ETEC210M - Electrical and Electronic Motor Controls This course will provide in-depth coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls and control systems. Subject matter will include generator starting and stopping, and synchronization controls. Motor starting, reversing, and braking controls as well as motor drive systems will also be covered. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems will be presented in the classroom and lab. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC150M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

MATH214M - Calculus II This the second course in the Calculus sequence. Topics include definite and indefinite integration, integration of elementary transcendental functions, improper integration, and series including Taylor and Maclaurin series. Methods of integration are studied. Concepts are reinforced with applications including areas and volumes of revolution, work, arc length, centroids, and power series representation of functions. Satisfactory placement test scores, or successful completion (grade of C or better) of MATH204M, or permission of the instructor.

ECE116M - Child Health Safety and Nutrition This course provides an overview of the health, safety and nutritional needs of young children and early childhood practices to ensure the health and well-being of each child in a group setting. Content includes roles and responsibilities of adults in meeting children’s diverse needs, the promotion of healthy lifestyle practices, understanding common childhood illnesses and injuries, meeting NH Childcare Licensing standards, and planning nutritious meals that are appropriate for each child. Recognition and treatment of child abuse victims will also be addressed. Students will be required to complete 10 online health and safety training modules through the New Hampshire Health & Safety Training Program, which is mandated by the Child Care Licensing Bureau, in order to be eligible to work in any early childhood program. It should be noted that CPR and First Aid information is covered in this course; however, certification is NOT part of the course. Prerequisites: None

GDES155M - Computer Illustration Focuses on the production of pre-designed and original computer illustrations using Adobe Illustrator®. Students will move from introductory vector drawing techniques to advanced, learn proper color management and file preparations to ensure that the illustration printed from the screen version is the desired result and usable in electronic design.

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course introduces the principles of microbiology, focusing on the structure, function, classification, and genetics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial metabolism, growth, genetics, diversity, methods for microbial control, and interactions with hosts, including pathogenicity, epidemiology, and immune responses. Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.

ENGL113M - Introduction to Public Speaking This course prepares students to effectively communicate with audiences in academic, workplace and community settings by providing instruction and experience in formal speech preparation and delivery. Students will learn to analyze speaking situations and adapt messages for audience, purpose, and context. Topic selection, relevant sources of support, structure, organization, and delivery are emphasized. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)
