It is meant to strengthen students’ background in Biology and to prepare students for college level life science courses. The course will give an overview of cell biology, the biology of organisms, and the biology of populations. A lab component will strengthen the theory information. These credits are institutional and are not applied towards graduation.

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

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

ECE250M - Childcare Administration and Management This course is designed to provide an overview of the skills and techniques required to effectively manage early care and education programs. Topics include program philosophy, policies and procedures, business planning, personnel and fiscal management, and NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct. Students explore diverse programs available to the community and examine state and federal licensing regulations, as well as national accreditation standards. Students critically analyze the degree to which financial issues of marketing, accounting, and funding affect the management of the center or family childcare home. In addition, students identify components of a healthy organization that manages people and resources in a positive, supportive manner. This course is required by NH State licensing rules for center directors. Prerequisite: ECE 100M and ECE 104M or Permission of the instructor

CIS118M - Introduction to Programming using .NET Core Current Description: This course will provide students with an understanding of structured, procedural, and event-driven programming. Students will develop techniques for problem solving through the application of programming methods and will gain experience in the nuts and bolts of program design as they complete lab work and assignments. Students will learn to use the Visual Basic language and programming environment. Co-Requisites: CIS107M or CIS108M.

DATA215M - Applied Data Analytics Data analysis is a process for obtaining raw data and converting it into information useful for decision-making by users. This course is an introduction to the tools and techniques required to enter the growing field of analytics. Major topics include R programming language concepts, modeling and algorithms, techniques for analyzing quantitative data, and barriers to effective analysis. Emphasis is placed on applications of data analysis and decision-making. Prerequisites: MATH212M with a grade of “C” or better.
