CBAM101M - Manufacturing Career Prep This course is designed to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge required for a successful career in the manufacturing industry. Focusing on both technical and interpersonal skills, this course covers key areas such as resume writing, interview skills, career exploration and networking. In addition to basic technical training, the course will emphasize the development of workplace communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. At the end of the course, students will be prepared to enter the manufacturing workforce, whether in entry-level positions or pursuing further specialization in areas such as machining, production planning, or industrial maintenance. Prerequisite: None

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.

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.)

PSYC210M - Human Growth and Development This course is the study of human growth and development with a specific emphasis on the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions from the prenatal period through later adulthood to death. An examination of major theorists is presented during the course. Major developmental milestones, diversity, family make-up and sociocultural dimensions complement the scope of the course. Prerequsites: PSYC110M and ENGL110XM or ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better. Fulfills Social Science requirement.)

ETEC142M - Lineworker Co-Op The Lineworker Co-op provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the certificate program. Students are required to work a minimum of 200 hours. A log of all work will be completed for review by the co-op coordinator and their site supervisor. Periodic evaluations based on performance and other issues related to successful employment will be completed and reviewed by the co-op coordinator and site supervisor, and will be the basis for the final grade. Prerequisites: ETEC140M

ETEC160M - Commercial and Industrial Wiring This course presents comprehensive coverage of the requirements and methods for wiring commercial and industrial installations. The subject matter will include interpretation and analysis of electrical schematics, load calculations, equipment types and applications, special occupancies, special equipment, and special conditions as they relate to these installation types. The National Electrical Code will be an integral part of this course. 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 Program Coordinator. Corequisite: MATH151M

ARTS110M - Welding for the Artist This course is an introduction to welding for the artist. The goal is for the student to develop structurally and aesthetically sound welding techniques in both arc and gas welding. These techniques will enable the art student to create both two and three dimensional artwork. Emphasis will also be placed upon safety, hands-on practice, equipment and process selection, joint design and filler metal characteristics. Students will also learn how to safely flamecut mild steel as well as bend metal using torch heat. Braze welding will also be discussed and practiced. Demonstrations in other welding processes more suitable to welding aluminum and stainless steel will be given. The art of Blacksmithing will also be introduced. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

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.

MATH151M - Intermediate Algebra This course prepares the student for higher level mathematics by covering topics in algebra including exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, and linear or high- degree equations. Additional topics include solving quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; composite and inverse functions; systems of linear equations using matrices; and systems of inequalities by graphing. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.
