GDES122M - Color Theory for Graphic Design Provides an in-depth study of the color theory as it relates to graphic design, with an emphasis on the psychological and compositional effects of color, color interactions, and color schemes. Assigned projects will explore how color can be used as an effective tool for strengthening visual communication in graphic design. Course Pre-requisites/Co-requisites: None

MATH145XM - Quantitative Reasoning - Corequisite

ENGL110M - College Composition I College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M or completion of ENGL095M with a grade of C or better.

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

BIOL109M - College Biology II This intense college level biology class is the continuation of BIOL108M. It covers evolutionary biology, classification, organisms and populations, and ecology. This course emphasizes science as a process, scientific inquiry, and critical thinking as applied to the topics covered. Pre-requisites: High School Biology and Chemistry with a C or better and placement into ENGL110M or permission of the instructor.

ETEC210M - Electrical and Electronic Motor Controls This course will provide in-depth coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls and control systems. Subject matter will include generator starting and stopping, and synchronization controls. Motor starting, reversing, and braking controls as well as motor drive systems will also be covered. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems will be presented in the classroom and lab. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC150M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

GDES210M - History of Graphic Design Will focus on the many accomplishments of notable contributors to the development of graphic design throughout history. Major innovations and trends of visual communication will be explored through the centuries, into the present with an eye on the future. Readings, research, videos and projects, will lead students to know and appreciate notable designers and their importance to visual communication. From the birth of visual messages and early bookmaking to the printed word and multi-media/web design, the phases of visual communication history will connect the past to the present. Prerequisites: None

ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M

MKTG125M - Principles of Marketing: A Global Perspective This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the entire marketing process from a managerial point of view. Students have the opportunity to examine the marketing system and strategies for the marketing of consumer and business products. Other topics covered include: the global marketing environment, customer relationship management, target markets, market segmentation, customer behavior, market research, retail and wholesale environments and specialty marketing. An emphasis is placed on the marketing mix – product, price, place, and promotion.

WELD122M - MIG and TIG Welding Theory This course covers the theory behind the gas shielded arc welding processes, GTAW, GMAW and FCAW. Principles of operation, welding variables, filler materials and gas selection will be discussed in great detail. The modern welding processes which fall under the following categories will also be examined; Submerged Arc Welding, Plasma Arc Welding, Solid State Welding, Resistance Welding, Electroslag Welding, Stud Welding, the high energy beam processes, Thermal Spraying and other related welding processes.
