ETEC120M - AC Fundamentals and Residential Wiring The material presented includes AC theory, electrical distribution, wiring methods and requirements, branch circuits and feeders, grounding and bonding, and overcurrent protection of AC circuits and residential wiring. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work provides for reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Placement into MATH135M

ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).

ARTS123M - Drawing I Various drawing media and techniques are explored in this course. Assignments are designed to build drawing observation skills necessary for visual communications. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

CIS110M - Microsoft Computer Applications I This is a one semester course that introduces the student to the world of MS Applications Office Suite. Topics will include the use of major applications in the Office Suite utilizing the most current version licensed by the College. This grouping of programs includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point. This is not a course for a student with no computer; it is an intense and rapid instruction in the use of the most common MS Applications programs. (This course cannot be used as a CIS elective for Computer Science majors.)

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.

CHEM090M - Foundations of Chemistry This high school level course in chemistry examines the structure of matter and the nature of chemical reactions. Lab activities will be included to help reinforce theory classes. The course helps to prepare students for college-level sciences. These credits are institutional only and do not count towards graduation.

HVAC211M - Commercial Refrigeration Theory This course covers: system design and layout, selection of proper components, pipe sizing and layout, wiring, controls and troubleshooting. Prerequisite: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC212M

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.
