WELD122M - MIG and TIG Welding Theory This course covers the theory behind the gas shielded arc welding processes, GTAW, GMAW and FCAW. Principles of operation, welding variables, filler materials and gas selection will be discussed in great detail. The modern welding processes which fall under the following categories will also be examined; Submerged Arc Welding, Plasma Arc Welding, Solid State Welding, Resistance Welding, Electroslag Welding, Stud Welding, the high energy beam processes, Thermal Spraying and other related welding processes. WELD112M.

ETEC220M - Commercial and Low Voltage Building Systems This course presents information on the theory of operation, applications, and installation practices for low voltage and communications systems typically installed in buildings. These include audio, video, security, telephone, fire alarm, computer networking, and wireless systems. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. 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 MATH151M or MATH155M, or permission of Program Coordinator

WELD112M - Gas and Arc Welding Theory This course will allow students to explore how metals are produced, as well as the advantages of different steel making processes. Chemical, physical and mechanical properties of common metals, the operating principles of gas and arc welding and cutting equipment will be presented. An explanation of how electrodes are made, their uses, differences and numbering system will be explained. Gas and arc welding processes are identified and methods of controlling are explained. Basic joints and processes are explained.

GEOL110M - General Geology This course provides an introduction to physical geology that deals with minerals, rocks, internal structures and the surface processes that make the Earth a very dynamic and active planet. The focus of this course is on discovering why processes such as volcanoes, plate tectonics and earthquakes occur and how these processes shape the Earth’s surface on a daily basis. Major themes examined include understanding the Earth’s age, the rock cycle, identification of rock types and geologic features, and the interactions of atmosphere and ocean with the geological environment. Coursework will include lecture, homework, oral presentations, laboratory exercises, a field trip and in-class discussions Prerequisites: MATH090M, Corequisite: ENGL110M

GDES225M - Graphic Design III Focuses on the creative process involved in research, design, promotion and presentation of print advertisements, ad campaigns and package design. Students will complete research, creative briefs and comprehensive projects that demonstrate advanced skills in graphic design. Prerequisite: GDES213M

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.)

MATH204M - Calculus I This is the first course in the Calculus sequence. Topics include exploration of limits, continuity, and derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. These basic concepts are further developed in applications of differentiation including particle motion, related rates and optimization. Integration is introduced through the study of definite and indefinite integrals and area. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores, or successful completion (grade of C or better) of MATH171M, or permission of the instructor.

BUS114M - Business Management This course introduces the principles and techniques underlying the successful organization and management of business activities. The course combines the traditional analysis of management principles with the behavioral approach using case studies. Areas of study include the management functions of planning, organization, leadership, staffing control, and the decision-making process.

CYBD230M - Mobile and Emerging Device Analysis This course explores Mobile Device Analysis where students learn methodologies for extraction of date stored on mobile devices. Students are challenged to work individually and in groups to examine and prepare detailed reports showing the relevance of digital evidence to mock cases. This course presents a higher level of technical detail and will balance theory and hands-on aspects for conducting the analysis of mobile devices Upon completion of the course, students will understand how and where different platforms stores its data, and the techniques and understand how the tools available differ in the amount and types information they will extract from mobile devices. The course employs hands-on real world practical scenarios; students will have the opportunity to perform extractions and analysis on mobile devices. Prerequisite: CYB100, CYB 110, CIS102, CIS103.

NURS111M - Nursing I:Practice&App Lab A1 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.
