ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M

BIOL106M - The Human Body This one-semester course introduces the structure and function of the human body. It includes the anatomy and physiology of each of the organ systems of the human body and practical discussions of disease and health. (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL107M) Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M

MATH145XM - Quantitative Reasoning - Corequisite

WELD224M - Intermediate GTAW of Pipe This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) on Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum Pipe. Skills will be developed in all pipe positons, 1G, 2G, 5G and 6G. Topics covered will include: open root welds, backing ring welds, consumable insert welds, and back purged welds. Prerequisite: WELD 211M. Corequisite: WELD 221M.

HUMA206M - The Self The Other and The Arts The Humanities discipline considers what it means to be human within a contemporary or historical context. The Humanities provide us with the broad frameworks within which enduring questions of existence, relationships, values, and aesthetics can be examined from multiple perspectives. It is the basis of a Liberal Arts education. This course proceeds from the premise that in order to identify with and feel empathy for the Other, one must first know oneself and be secure in one's own identity. If I am not in tune with my own humanness, how can I connect with the humanness in Another? The Arts (literature, music, painting) can help us see ourselves and others in a deeper way.The Arts provide us with two things: (1) A record of the individual artist’s exploration of themselves and the world and (2) An opportunity to recognize ourselves in their art. In this course, students will be exposed to a wide assortment of paintings, poems, literature, music, and drama/film, looking at both the author/composer/artists and their work. For the liberal arts student, this course contains a strong interdisciplinary component that will provide a unifying thread to their studies, while modeling the significance of the humanities across the curriculum. Students will engage in a series of guided journal reflections in a research essay focused on an author/composer/artist or theme of their choosing, and compile a thoughtfully curated digital gallery making thematic connections among various genres of art.** Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL110M or 110XM

ROBO210M - Robotic Processes This course covers the knowledge and skills that an operator, technician, engineer or programmer needs to set up and program a robot. Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. Prerequisites: ADMT 112M

ETEC135M - Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control This course will provide in-depth coverage of industrial controls and instrumentation. Subject matter will discuss concepts of pressure, level, flow, temperature, humidity, position, safety and alarms, instruments and conditioning, regulators, valves and actuators, process control, documentation and symbols, signal transmission, logic gates, PLC and motor control basics. Since this course is a theory course only, it is not intended for State of NH electrician’s apprenticeship training but may be taken to satisfy the State of NH electrician’s requirements for continuing education. However, students will be expected to perform the Substation Co-Op hours as part of the overall program completion. Prerequisites: ETEC110M. Corequisites: None.

ECON135M - Microeconomics Microeconomics equips the student with an understanding of fundamental economic principles and tools. It presents economic analysis with respect to demand and supply, consumer utility theory, elasticity, costs of production, perfect and imperfect competition and resource markets. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

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.
