The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to the National Electrical Code, basic DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Corequisite: Placement into MATH135M.

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.

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

ROBO211M - Robotic Design Students will design a robot according to specifications for the functions and tasks the robot needs to complete. This will involve many critical features of the robot needed to meet the specified requirements. The course will cover the entire design processes, such as defining the problem, researching and designing, creating a prototype, building a robot, programming and testing, and finally the evaluation of the robot design to the specifications. Prerequisites: MATH090M with a grade of “C” or better.

CBAM120M - Control Fundamentals with Python This course introduces the Python programming language and how it relates to controlling a mechatronic system. It is designed for students with little to no prior programming experience. Students will learn the fundamentals of Python, including basic syntax, data structures, control flow, and functions, while also gaining hands-on experience writing, debugging, and running Python programs for a mechatronics system. Prerequisite: None

HVAC260M - HVAC Project Management

BUS124M - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management This course gives students comprehensive knowledge in the development and management of small businesses. Sales, production, personnel management, and financial management are examined from the point of view of the small business entrepreneur or manager. Using case studies, students will be introduced to effective techniques for: starting a business; obtaining loans; hiring and supervising employees; marketing products and services; and dealing with legal issues and regulations. Using concepts and techniques learned from the course, students will also create and develop a business plan for a real or fictitious organization of their choice.

BUS221M - Business Finance This course is designed to survey the corporate financial discipline, to examine the financial managment of corporations, to develop skills necessary for financial decision-making, financial forecasting, ratio evaluation and to acquaint students with money, capital markets and institutions. Prereq: ACCT123M.

ADMT118M - Electrical Fundamentals for Manufacturing This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, basic AC/DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: None

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.)
