PHYS105M - Astronomy I Starting with a survey of the night sky and the daily motions of the stars and planets, this course surveys our current understanding of the Universe. It traces the development of the tools of the modern astronomer and how those tools have led to out theories of the solar system, the life cycle of stars, the formation of elements, the formation of galaxies and the evolution of the universe. Prerequisite: MATH090M or high school Algebra with a grade of “C” or better.

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.

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

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

CBAM120M - Control Fundamentals with Python This course introduces the Python programming language and how it relates to controlling a mechatronic system. It is designed for students with little to no prior programming experience. Students will learn the fundamentals of Python, including basic syntax, data structures, control flow, and functions, while also gaining hands-on experience writing, debugging, and running Python programs for a mechatronics system. Prerequisite: None

ARTS210M - Painting I Students will acquire painting skills. There will be experimentaiton with several painting mediums including: watercolor, gouache, acrylics and oils. Tools and techniques will be demonstrated, examined and used. Some basic drawing abilities are helpful but not required. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

HVAC230M - Gas Equipment Installation and Service Theory An in depth study of placing propane and natural gas utilization equipment into service while controlling gas/air mixtures for proper combustion. Gas equipment installations including; clearance to combustibles, combustion, dilution, and ventilation air requirements to determine if a space is confined or unconfined. Gas equipment venting including; venting categories, vent materials, vent sizing and clearances. Troubleshooting electrical circuits and control devices while measuring electrical quantities using an electrical meter. Identifying operating characteristics and components of common sensing devices will be covered. Gas pressure measurements including supply and appliance burner pressure detection will be discussed. Ignition safety systems including the 100 percent pilot safety shut-off and other electronic safety shut off devices will be studied. Flue gas analysis and carbon monoxide detection will be included. National Fuel Gas Code as it relates to the above topics is also emphasized. Prerequisite or corequisite: HVAC134M, HVAC135M.

MKTG282M - Marketing Research

HVAC214M - Hydronic Systems Lab This lab is an in-depth study of residential forced hot water heating systems. The student designs and installs a complete hot water system including the piping arrangement, control system, and method of heating domestic hot water. Forced hot water service skills are emphasized. Prerequisite: HVAC114M, HVAC115M, HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC134M, HVAC135M; Corequisite: HVAC213M.
