NURS111M - Nursing I: Simulation 3 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.

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.)

ACCT123M - Introduction to Accounting and Financial Reporting II A continuation of the concepts covered in Accounting and Financial Reporting I. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of balance sheet accounts including accounts receivable, notes receivable, property, plant and equipment, short-term and long-term liabilities, bonds, investment, stock transactions, retained earning, cash flows, ratio computation and analysis, and partnerships. This course also compares and contrasts basic accounting methods of accounting for sole-proprietorships, partnerships and corporations. Prereq: ACCT113M

BUS224M - Human Resource Management This course is designed to provide a fundamental presentation of the dynamics of human resource management. Emphasis is placed on job design and development, employment training, benefits administration, compensation, and employee relations and the laws relating to human resource management. Course concepts will be solidified through the use of case studies and real-world applications. Prerequisite: BUS114M or BUS110M.

ADMT230M - CAD/CAM for Manufacturing A course in 2D/3D model construction using AutoCAD software. Topics include creating wireframe working drawing/models (details & assemblies) in model space with paper space layouts for plotting utilizing tiled & non-tiled viewports. Operational aspects of the software will be addressed for processing engineering drawings efficiently. Emphasis will be on the creation of drawings to be transferred into CAM software for manufacturing purposes. Prerequisite: AMT112M. Corequisite ADMT135M.

HVAC101M - Introduction to HVAC Systems This course introduces the fundamental concepts and principles that apply to the HVAC industry. Topics include a basic understanding of; thermodynamics, industry terminology and units of measurement, common HVAC systems and components, materials used in the installation of HVAC equipment and methods for joining materials. Industry standards and codes are explored. Techniques for proper use of hand and power tools are presented. Safely working on HVAC systems and components is emphasized. (Fulfills Open Elective requirement).

ETEC160M - Commercial and Industrial Wiring This course presents comprehensive coverage of the requirements and methods for wiring commercial and industrial installations. The subject matter will include interpretation and analysis of electrical schematics, load calculations, equipment types and applications, special occupancies, special equipment, and special conditions as they relate to these installation types. The National Electrical Code will be an integral part of this course. 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 MATH135M, or permission of Program Coordinator. Corequisite: MATH151M

CIS220M - Object-Oriented Programming This is an advanced, language-independent programming course. Students will master the Object Oriented skills necessary for success in the modern IT workplace. Such topics as Unified Modeling Language, Encapsulation, Data Abstraction, Modularity, Polymorphism, Inheritance, good programming techniques and debugging skills will be emphasized. The programming languages used will be the choice of Java, VB.Net, Or C#. Prerequisite: CIS107M or CIS108M OR permission of the instructor.

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.
