ARTS105M - Introduction to Creative Practice A creative practice can be described as all of the intense research, efforts, and initiatives creative people engage with to create works of art that elicit a response from the viewer. Whether it’s exhibiting paintings in a gallery, or creating illustrations for a client, this course teaches students how to foster the rigorous engagement necessary to position oneself within the creative economy. Students will be taught how artists function within a studio through engaging with the fundamental tenets of creative practice - problem setting, tangential research, play, articulation, exhibition, and conversation. Corequisite: ARTS123M (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement)

AUTO2011M - Manual Transmissions and Drivetrains AUTO2011M is a comprehensive course including theory, repair and service procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of manual transmissions and drivetrains. This course includes the theory of operation, service and repair, diagnosis and controls. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnosis and service today's complex transmissions. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose transmission, drivetrain and related system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO2011M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training may be required to receive credit for this course. Successful completion of AUTO1011M with a minimum grade of C is required to register for this course. Prerequisites: Successful completion of AUTO1011M with a minimum grade of C.

ETEC165M - National Electrical Code Fundamentals This course covers content of the National Electrical Code (NEC®). Subject matter includes the history and revision process, NEC® structure and chapters, and how to apply the code to branch circuits, box and conduit fill, conductor sizing, services, taps, grounding, and service calculations. This is a theory course only with no lab component. Prerequisites: None

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

HVAC224M - Warm Air and Steam Systems Lab This lab is a continuation of HVAC 214 and covers installation of steam and warm air systems, layout and make up of ductwork, multi-fuel units, and gas heating. Prerequisite: HVAC114M, HVAC115M, HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC134M, HVAC135M, Corequisite: HVAC223M

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

ECE204M - Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers This course focuses on developmentally appropriate care and education of infants and toddlers, birth to age three, in group settings. Following a review of infant/toddler development, students will be introduced to evidenced-based practices including responsive relationship-based caregiving, routines as curriculum, the importance of play-based learning, and collaborative relationships with families. Students will learn about age appropriate environments, materials and activities, and teaching/guidance techniques based upon the standards of NAEYC and the NH Bureau of Child Care Licensing regulations. Community Service will be a part of the course with students expected to observe/volunteer in an infant and/or toddler program for 8 hours. Prerequisites: ECE 100M & ECE104M or permission of the instructor

NURS211M - Nursing III: CMC-D200 The student continues to develop competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient.
