ADMT120M - Motor Controls and PLCs for Manufacturing This course will provide basic coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls as well as control systems. Subject matter presented will include generator and alternator starting, stopping, and synchronization controls as well as motor starting, reversing, braking, and speed controls. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems, motor drives, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will be presented in the classroom and lab. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: ADMT118M

MATH204M - Calculus I This is the first course in the Calculus sequence. Topics include exploration of limits, continuity, and derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. These basic concepts are further developed in applications of differentiation including particle motion, related rates and optimization. Integration is introduced through the study of definite and indefinite integrals and area. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores, or successful completion (grade of C or better) of MATH171M, or permission of the instructor.

BUS210M - Business Communications Effective communication is the lifeblood of the organization and the foundation of a successful business career. The potential business professional must master the methods and techniques necessary to utilize facts, make inferences, understand communication strategies, create logical presentations, and develop critical skills in listening, speaking, and writing. The potential business professional must also understand nonverbal, visual, and mass communication. This course helps students polish their business-communication skills by teaching them how to create an error-free electronic portfolio, which will provide students with a job-search tool. The course emphasizes proper business formatting, along with other communication activities and the communication process as it relates to business. This course can also be used as an English elective. Prerequisite: ENGL110M or ENGL110XM and BUS114M.

ETEC260M - Renewable and Alternative Energy Systems This course will be a presentation of the theory, installation, maintenance, and operation of primary types of renewable and alternative energy systems. Primary focus will be on photovoltaic systems, wind generating systems, and backup generators. Prerequisites: ETEC 210M or ETEC 220M.

TCHE104M - Foundations of Education This course examines the philosophical, historical, legal and social/cultural aspects of education in the United States. Students will explore current issues and trends in education, how schools and classrooms function organizationally and academically, and teaching as a profession. Discussions will focus on the goals of education, the role of state, local, and federal agencies, educational law and policy, and the roles and responsibilities of teachers. The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) Model of Standards for Beginning Teacher Licensing will be introduced. Students will be required to complete 20 hours of observation in a school setting. Prerequisites: none

ECE116M - Child Health Safety and Nutrition This course provides an overview of the health, safety and nutritional needs of young children and early childhood practices to ensure the health and well-being of each child in a group setting. Content includes roles and responsibilities of adults in meeting children’s diverse needs, the promotion of healthy lifestyle practices, understanding common childhood illnesses and injuries, meeting NH Childcare Licensing standards, and planning nutritious meals that are appropriate for each child. Recognition and treatment of child abuse victims will also be addressed. Students will be required to complete 10 online health and safety training modules through the New Hampshire Health & Safety Training Program, which is mandated by the Child Care Licensing Bureau, in order to be eligible to work in any early childhood program. It should be noted that CPR and First Aid information is covered in this course; however, certification is NOT part of the course. Prerequisites: None

ETEC121M - Electrical Fundamentals II-LW This course provides an introduction to basic AC electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to transformers, basic AC electrical theory, basic first aid/CPR/AED procedures, electrical formulas and calculations, OSHA 10 policies and best practices, advanced test equipment, advanced testing procedures, and advanced electrical diagrams. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Completion of ETEC 111M.

ENVS115M - Current Issues in the Environment This is a one semester course that will cover basic ecological concepts, the interrelationships of these concepts and their ultimate connections within the natural world. Global issues include climate change, loss of species diversity, waste management, and pollution. In addition to the writing assignments, students will participate in activities, discussions, and presentations of lecture material. Pre-requisite: Placement into ENGL110M. High School Biology recommended

CHEM115M - General Chemistry I This chemistry course provides students with a sound foundation in the basic principles of chemistry. The course includes topics such as structure of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemicall periodicity, chemical bonding, gases and their properties. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and biology with a grade of C or better, high school Algebra I or Math131M.

WELD221M - Pipe Code Welding The student will use arc welding equipment to make multiple pass and 100% penetration welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G positions on mild steel plate with electrodes from the fast freeze, fill freeze and fast fill groups; safely utilize arc welding equipment to produce welds on 4-inch and 6-inch standard steel pipe in the 1G, 2G, 5G, 6G positions, plus various pipe assemblies. Prerequisites: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD211M.
