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

NURS212M - Nursing IV: Sr Seminar Lab 1B The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

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.)

ETEC220M - Commercial and Low Voltage Building Systems This course presents information on the theory of operation, applications, and installation practices for low voltage and communications systems typically installed in buildings. These include audio, video, security, telephone, fire alarm, computer networking, and wireless systems. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. 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 MATH151M or MATH155M, or permission of Program Coordinator

BIOL107M - The Human Body Lab A series of laboratory experiences designed to enhance and reinforce the concepts studied in Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL106M). (Medical Assistant students must take BIOL106M concurrently.) (Fulfills lab science elective when taken in addition to BIOL106M) Prerequisites: Placement into ENGL109M or ENGL110M or permission of the instructor.

CBAM101M - Manufacturing Career Prep This course is designed to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge required for a successful career in the manufacturing industry. Focusing on both technical and interpersonal skills, this course covers key areas such as resume writing, interview skills, career exploration and networking. In addition to basic technical training, the course will emphasize the development of workplace communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. At the end of the course, students will be prepared to enter the manufacturing workforce, whether in entry-level positions or pursuing further specialization in areas such as machining, production planning, or industrial maintenance. Prerequisite: None

CBAM110M - Industrial Print Reading and Metrology This hands-on course provides students with an introduction to mechanical measurement techniques and engineering blueprint reading. Through practical experience and guided instruction, students will learn to accurately interpret mechanical drawings including tolerances, welding symbology, and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), and perform precise measurements using a variety of instruments. Students will engage in real-world scenarios that develop skills critical to the manufacturing industry. The course will emphasize the importance of precision, ensuring students can confidently read engineering blueprints and verify that mechanical components meet design specifications. Prerequisite: None

HVAC121M - Fundamentals of Refrigeration II Theory A continuation of Fundamentals of Refrigeration I. This course covers: electrical circuits, controls and motors necessary for operation of various residential and small commercial units; components necessary for optimum operation and efficiency; basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC122M. Prerequisite: HVAC111M, HVAC112M.
