ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

This course is not intended for State of NH electrician’s apprenticeship training. However, this course may be taken as a continuing education course for renewal of State of NH licensure. This course is a theory course only with no lab component. Prerequisites: Placement into MATH155 (or higher). Corequisites: ETEC110M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

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.

WELD125M - Manufacturing and Repair Techniques An introduction in the safety and fundamental use of machine tools in both manufacturing and repair environments. Processes covered will include turning, milling, drilling, broaching, grinding and precision measurement. In laboratory sessions, students will apply the techniques studied by using machine tools to manufacture welding fixtures and dimensionally restore parts which were repaired by welding.

NURS211M - Nursing III: Theory The student continues to develop competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Activity Exercise, Elimination, Nutrition Metabolic, Self-Perception and Coping Stress Tolerance. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and child rearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice increasingly complex nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal / pediatric settings.

ETEC265M - Troubleshooting Electrical and Electronic Systems This course covers the aspects of troubleshooting electrical and electronic systems. Subject matter includes electrical and electronic system applications, step-by-step troubleshooting procedures, and reinforcement of the concepts presented. This course is not intended for State of NH electrician’s apprenticeship training. However, this course may be taken as a continuing education course for renewal of State of NH licensure. This is a theory course only with no lab component. Prerequisites: ETEC110M or permission of ETEC Program Coordinator or Chair.

ETEC146M - Commercial Driver Training Behind the Wheel Range ETEC146M is a hands-on, comprehensive lab study where a student will learn and practice the physical operation of Class A, Commercial Motor Vehicle, Behind-the-Wheel “Range” skills and knowledge. A focus on the safe, legal, and professional operation of a variety of vehicles for which commercial licensure is a prerequisite. This course also focuses on the skills and behavioral characteristics of a professional commercial driver. Specific instructions are provided to prepare students for learner’s permit testing. The course also covers preparation and the study for additional endorsements. Prerequisite: ETEC145M, Commercial Driver Training Theory.

MATH106M - Statistics I An Introduction to Statistical Reasoning

WELD220M - Fabrication Techniques and Estimating This course deals with the problems encountered when welding different types of steel and non-ferrous metals in a production shop: the use of arc motion and work motion equipment and robotics in the modern welding factory; the importance of welding procedures and the use of fixtures; and the estimating of typical welding costs (materials, cutting, welding, consumables and overhead) used to price out a job. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD211M, WELD212M.

AUTO1021M - Steering and Suspension Systems AUTO1021M is an in-depth study of steering and suspension systems, alignment geometry, and procedures including the service and diagnosis of these systems. This course also includes the latest cutting-edge electronic controlled systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO1021M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training is required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1031M, AUTO1032M, and AUTO1033M.
