PHYS210M - University Physics I This is a calculus-based study of the fundamental principles of classical mechanics, an introductory course emphasizing motion in one and two dimensions, forces, gravitation, energy, momentum, rotation, and oscillations. The course is recommended for the student specializing in science and engineering. There are two components to the course, three hours of lecture/problem solving per week and a three hour lab course. Corequisite: MATH204M.

WELD220M - Fabrication Techniques and Estimating This course deals with the problems encountered when welding different types of steel and non-ferrous metals in a production shop: the use of arc motion and work motion equipment and robotics in the modern welding factory; the importance of welding procedures and the use of fixtures; and the estimating of typical welding costs (materials, cutting, welding, consumables and overhead) used to price out a job. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD211M, WELD212M.

GDES205M - Visual Design Through this course, students will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of design projects with the goals to educate, inform, persuade, and entertain the audience through visual communication design. Types of projects will include educational posters, infographics, avatar design, and children’s book illustrations. Student will also have the opportunity to propose their own visual communication project. Prerequisites: ARTS123, GDES110M, GDES114M, GDES115M, GDES122M, GDES124M, GDES150M, and GDES155M

ETEC230M - Electrical Print Reading This course covers the concepts of print reading for electrical installations. Subject matter includes print reading fundamentals, symbols, plans, diagrams, various wiring, power and control systems, and wiring methods. This course is not intended for State of NH electrician’s apprenticeship training. However, this course may be taken as a continuing education course for renewal of State of NH licensure. This is a theory course only with no lab component. Prerequisites: ETEC110M or permission of ETEC Program Coordinator or Chair.

ARTS210M - Painting I Students will acquire painting skills. There will be experimentaiton with several painting mediums including: watercolor, gouache, acrylics and oils.
