Students will be required to complete 8 hours of community service that benefits children and/or families. Prerequisites: C- or better in TCHE104M or ECE104M.

ARTS212M - Painting II Students will enhance painting skills with the knowledge already established in Drawing I and Painting I. Where Painting I began, with experimentation of several painting mediums including watercolor, gouache, acrylics and oils, Painting II involves more advance painting techniques. The major concentration will involve portrait and figure studies, still life and “plein air” outdoor paint tints. Prerequisites: ARTS123M, ARTS210M. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

MATH135M - Numerical Algebra and Trigonometry This course provides students with the basic algebra and trigonometry skills to compute solutions in their curriculums. The algebra topics cover operations of real numbers, operations between polynomials, solutions of linear equations and inequalities involving numerical and variables terms, manipulations of formula, and word problems. The trigonometric topics cover trigonometric ratios as applied to right triangles and revolutions, and computation of measures in oblique triangles using the laws of sines and cosines.

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).

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.

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.

ETEC225M - Electric Power Substation Engineering

FIN120M - Personal Financial Management

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
