HUMA106M - History of American Popular Music This course provides a historical overview of American popular music, from the mid 19th Century to the turn of the 21st Century. Styles of music that are studied are: Folk music, Jazz, Ragtime, Blues, Swing, show music, motion picture music, Country, Rock &Roll, Soul, Heavy Metal, Pop, Grunge, Rap and Latin /African music. Students will be required to listen to music associated with these styles.

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

BIOL150M - Nutrition This course is a study of normal and medical nutritional therapy, including the digestion, absorption, transport, and metabolism of the macro and micronutrients throughout the life cycle. The students will study nutritional assessment and care plan processes for various medical nutritional therapies, including cardiac, diabetes, stress disorders, various feeding routes, and energy and weight management. (Fulfills lab science elective when taken with BIOL151M)

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.

MATH151M - Intermediate Algebra This course prepares the student for higher level mathematics by covering topics in algebra including exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, and linear or high- degree equations. Additional topics include solving quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; composite and inverse functions; systems of linear equations using matrices; and systems of inequalities by graphing. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ENGL101M - College Composition

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

HVAC120M - Related Electricity II Lab A lab based continuation of HVAC110M covering electrical circuit controls commonly found in air conditioning and heating systems. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC120M. Prerequisites: HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

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. WELD112M.

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course introduces the principles of microbiology, focusing on the structure, function, classification, and genetics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial metabolism, growth, genetics, diversity, methods for microbial control, and interactions with hosts, including pathogenicity, epidemiology, and immune responses. Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.
