ENVS125M - Introduction to Environmental Science This lab course is an introduction to ecology, environmental studies, and sustainability for the future. The course stresses a scientific approach toward understanding real world issues in relation to natural systems. Local, regional, and global case studies challenge students to think critically about human impacts with complex issues, gaining insight toward the world’s need for sustainability. Field trips to local sites are part of the course. Prerequisites: High School Biology with a C or better, placement into ENGL110M.

WELD121M - MIG and TIG Welding Laboratory This course instructs students in the safe, hands on utilization of the GTAW, GMAW & FCAW processes as they are used in industry. The GTAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys & titanium. The GMAW process will be utilized to weld mild steel, stainless steel & aluminum. Resistance welding, plastic welding and thermal spray equipment may also be used. Prerequisites: WELD111M, WELD112M.

ECON135M - Microeconomics Microeconomics equips the student with an understanding of fundamental economic principles and tools. It presents economic analysis with respect to demand and supply, consumer utility theory, elasticity, costs of production, perfect and imperfect competition and resource markets. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

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.

BIOL151M - Nutrition Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in the Nutrition course (BIOL150M). (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL150M) (Students must take, or have taken BIOL150M concurrently/previously.) Co-requisite: BIOL150M.

WELD111M - Gas and Arc Welding Lab At the successful completion of this course, each student will be able to: (1) safely utilize oxy-fuel cutting equipment to cut shapes and prepare material for welding; (2) safety utilize oxy-fuel welding equipment to weld various mild steel joints in the four welding positions; (3) safely utilize arc welding equipment to weld various mild steel joints in the four welding positions; (4) safely use oxy-fuel equipment for braze welding, brazing, soldering, and fusion welding of the most widely used types of metals.

GDES225M - Graphic Design III Focuses on the creative process involved in research, design, promotion and presentation of print advertisements, ad campaigns and package design. Students will complete research, creative briefs and comprehensive projects that demonstrate advanced skills in graphic design. Prerequisite: GDES213M

POLS110M - American Government This course is an introduction to the basic structures of the political process in the United States. It explains political activity with a focus on the national level, but may include details about the state and local levels. Specific topics include an analysis of the Constitution, the powers of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, federalism, the bureaucracy, and the media. Campaigns, elections, political parties and interest groups will also be discussed. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M

MATH212M - Probability and Statistics II This course is a continuation of Probability and Statistics I intended to focus on statistical procedures in research applications. Major topics include inference testing, linear and multiple regression, model building in regression, nonparametric statistics, and ANOVA. Statistical software will be used. Emphasis will be placed on applications of statistical procedures, reporting on findings, and visualization of data. Prerequisite: MATH202M with a grade of “C” or better.
