AUTO1011M - Maintenance and Light Repair AUTO1011M is a comprehensive face-to-face course covering all aspects of general vehicle maintenance and light repair of the latest automobiles and light trucks. Topics include safety, customer service relations, repair documentation, service-department operations, safety inspection, pre-delivery inspection, in-depth preventative maintenance and inspection and common simple general repair. Using the various skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same basic tasks on today’s automobiles just as an express lane maintenance technician would in a dealership. AUTO1011M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training is required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1021M, AUTO1022M, and AUTO1023M.

ETEC140M - Lineworker I Lab 2 This course provides an introduction to basic lineworker electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to climbing, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Lineworker Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: Placement into MATH 135M or permission of Department Chair.

ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

TCHE230M - Teaching Learning and Assessment This course will provide students with an in-depth study of the application of educational practices and pedagogical theory necessary to succeed as classroom teachers. Students will explore various instructional strategies, learning theories, and assessment methods that are essential for fostering academic growth and meeting the diverse needs of students. Focus will be on understanding the context in which teaching and learning occurs, assessment methods, and data driven decision making for curriculum planning and effective teaching strategies. The concepts presented will enhance and build upon material from prior courses. Students will incorporate current research and instructional strategies into their teaching repertoire. Students will complete a service-learning project, incorporating at least 10 hours of service in a school setting. Prerequisites: C- or better in TCHE215M and TCHE225M

ENGL220M - Advanced Composition: Medium Message and Mode From ads to memes to media, persuasion is everywhere, and learning to recognize and evaluate it is an essential skill for the 21st century. College Composition II builds on the foundation of research, writing, and rhetoric established in College Composition I, but goes deeper into the study of rhetoric – the use of speech, writing, and visual images to persuade, motivate, and inform a target audience. Topics of study include the rhetorical situation, classical and modern persuasive appeals, and the ethics of argumentation. We’ll look at how rhetoric shapes our daily lives, and how we can use it to navigate power and produce social change. We’ll consider the impact of medium on messaging, and how to select and organize information effectively for various modes of expression. In addition to skill-building assignments, students will create three substantial persuasive projects using written, spoken, and visual rhetoric. Prerequisites: ENGL 110M/110XM with a grade of C or better. (Fulfills English requirement)

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.

HVAC122M - Fundamentals of Refrigeration II Lab A continuation of Fundamentals of Refrigeration I. This course covers: electrical meter testing of controls; motors and circuits; reading wiring diagrams; troubleshooting and repair various system problems. Prerequisites: HVAC111M/112M; Corequisite: HVAC121M.

ECE202M - Student Teaching Practicum The Student Teaching Practicum requires that students spend a minimum of 117 hours in a college – approved early childhood facility under guided supervision of the classroom teacher (approximately 9 hours/week). Students will bridge the gap between theory and practice by applying theoretical knowledge and developmentally appropriate methodology in their work with young children. Students will assume increasing responsibility for teaching and classroom management throughout the semester, culminating in a week-long experience in which the student takes the role of the lead teacher in planning and implementing the curriculum, and will be formally observed by the college instructor at least 3 times. Weekly seminars are scheduled to discuss issues of appropriate practice, discipline, lesson plans, observations, and other concerns. Students are required to experience two different age groups and two different settings across the two senior level practicum courses (ECE 202M & ECE 212M). Note that a grade of C or better is required in this class in order to move on to the final practicum, ECE 212M. A Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription is required. Prerequisites: ECE100M, ECE104M, and a grade of C or better in ECE111M or ECE112M.

HVAC221M - Residential and Commercial Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Theory Procedures for proper installation and start-up of central air conditioning systems. Troubleshooting of the electrical and mechanical aspects of systems. The proper use and understanding of the psychometric chart. Heat gain calculations for residential and small commercial buildings. Special requirements and components of heat pumps. Prerequisite: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC222M
