AUTO1013M - Automotive Co-op Work Experience I The Automotive co-op work experience provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the degree program and students are required to work a minimum of 320 hours. Periodic supervisor evaluations based on performance and other criteria 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. AUTO1013M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required at the co-op site. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1021M, AUTO1022M, and AUTO1023M. Prerequisites: None

ENGL101M - College Composition Spark

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.

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.

ECE212M - Professional Development Practicum: ECE Capstone Typically taken during the student’s last semester, this course will provide students with an opportunity to build on the knowledge gained in their previous coursework and practica by moving from a thematic focused curriculum planning process in ECE202 to an Emergent Curriculum approach. Students will study the Reggio Emelia approach to teaching and learning and will plan lessons and a unit focused on the principle of children being collaborative partners in their learning. In addition, students will practice and develop professional teaching skills such as observing, analyzing, classroom management, working as a part of a team, and self-reflection under the mentorship of classroom teachers. Students will complete a minimum of 117 hours of teaching in a college-approved early childhood setting. Students are required to purchase a TASKSTREAM electronic portfolio subscription. Course Pre-requisites/Co-requisites: C or better in ECE 202M.

NURS112M - Nursing II: NH Hospital The student develops 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 Sexual Reproductive, Role Relationship, Nutrition Metabolic, Health Perception Health Management, Cognitive Perceptual and Value Belief. 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 childrearing 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 more complex nursing skills and basic group 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.

ENVS115M - Current Issues in the Environment This is a one semester course that will cover basic ecological concepts, the interrelationships of these concepts and their ultimate connections within the natural world. Global issues include climate change, loss of species diversity, waste management, and pollution. In addition to the writing assignments, students will participate in activities, discussions, and presentations of lecture material. Pre-requisite: Placement into ENGL110M. High School Biology recommended

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.
