ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

GDES155M - Computer Illustration Focuses on the production of pre-designed and original computer illustrations using Adobe Illustrator®. Students will move from introductory vector drawing techniques to advanced, learn proper color management and file preparations to ensure that the illustration printed from the screen version is the desired result and usable in electronic design.

PSPT104M - Brake and Suspension Systems Brakes and Suspension includes design, theory, maintenance, repair and service procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of cutting-edge braking and suspension systems. This course includes principles of hydraulics, service brakes, electronic braking systems and controls. Also included are front and rear suspension system service, repair and diagnosis. PSPT104M is a spring semester course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to PSPT105M.Prerequisites: PSPT103M with a minimum grade of C.

POLS110M - American Government This course is an introduction to the basic structures of the political process in the United States. It explains political activity with a focus on the national level, but may include details about the state and local levels. Specific topics include an analysis of the Constitution, the powers of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, federalism, the bureaucracy, and the media. Campaigns, elections, political parties and interest groups will also be discussed. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M

CSCN225M - Computer Science in Action II - Quality Assurance and Security This course defines SQA and teaches students how and why it is necessary in today’s programming environment. Students will learn how to develop differing types of test plans, learn differences between manual and automated testing and learn to create secure code on several platforms. Students will learn by doing, testing and securing code they themselves have written in previous classes. Prerequisites: CIS117M or CIS118M or CIS122M or CIS126M or CIS148M or CIS158M and CIS220M. Co-requisites: None.

ETEC210M - Electrical and Electronic Motor Controls This course will provide in-depth coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls and control systems. Subject matter will include generator starting and stopping, and synchronization controls. Motor starting, reversing, and braking controls as well as motor drive systems will also be covered. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems will be presented in the classroom and lab. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC150M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

ECE100M - Early Childhood Growth and Development This course provides an in-depth study of typical growth and development from conception through age 8 with an emphasis on the specific needs and characteristics of each developmental level as described in developmental milestones charts and the NH Early Learning Standards. The experiences in this course will focus attention on how observation, documentation, and assessment can be used to inform understandings about children and the practice of teaching. Focused instruction is given on learning how to observe, document, and analyze children’s thinking and developmental processes. Insights gleaned from this learning will be enhanced by theories and research on child development. Prominent theories of child psychology, including but not limited to Piaget, Erikson, Maslow and Bronfenbrenner, will be introduced. At least 15 hours of observation of children in childcare settings is required. Prerequisites: none

ACCT215M - Cost Accounting II This course is designed as a continuation of the concepts covered in Cost Accounting 1 (ACCT213M). The student will examine and analyze service department costs, joint cost allocation, management control systems, activity based costing, capital budgeting, transfer pricing, standard cost systems, variance analysis, investment center performance, relevant costs for decision making, ratio analysis, and absorption versus variable costing. Prerequisite ACCT213M.
