WELD211M - Structural Code Welding Lab This course will instruct students in the hands on practice of Shielded Metal Arc Welding as it is applied to the American Welding Society Structural Steel Code D1.1. Students will perform welder qualification tests in all positions and subject the test coupons to the required forms of mechanical testing. Throughout the course, the role of the Welding Inspector will be covered as well as the documentation required for both welder and weld procedure qualification. Students will receive experience in the inspection role in order to become familiarized with weld defects and discontinuities. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD125M.

SOCI110M - Introduction to Sociology This course is an introduction to fundamental theories and concepts of sociology. It examines various social institutions and probes multifaceted dimensions of social issues and events. It also explores collective behavior and social movements. (Fulfills Social Science requirement). Liberal Arts majors cannot take both SOCI109M and SOCI110M to fulfill degree requirements. Prerequisite: placement into ENGL110XM or ENGL110M.

MATH155M - College Algebra with Trigonometry This course covers the essentials of numerical algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and is designed for science, engineering, technology, computer science, and mathematics students. It provides a solid preparation for student toward Precalculus and Calculus track. A short review of elementary algebra is followed by an introduction to geometric and trigonometric functions. Applied problems are solved by integrating the above mathematical strategies. The trigonometric functions include ratios in solving right triangles and vector applications, and Law of Sines and Cosines in solving oblique triangles. Prerequisite: MATH151M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ECON134M - Macroeconomics Macroeconomics analyzes the determinants of aggregate economic activity and the effects of government policy intended to achieve full employment, price stability and economic growth. The course examines the standard formulas to measure the nation’s production and income and spending; analysis unemployment and inflation, aggregate demand and supply, fiscal policies, investment and financial markets, money and banking, and the Federal Reserve and monetary policies. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement) Prerequisite: NONE

PHYS210M - University Physics I This is a calculus-based study of the fundamental principles of classical mechanics, an introductory course emphasizing motion in one and two dimensions, forces, gravitation, energy, momentum, rotation, and oscillations. The course is recommended for the student specializing in science and engineering. There are two components to the course, three hours of lecture/problem solving per week and a three hour lab course. Corequisite: MATH204M.

WELD224M - Intermediate GTAW of Pipe This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) on Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum Pipe. Skills will be developed in all pipe positons, 1G, 2G, 5G and 6G. Topics covered will include: open root welds, backing ring welds, consumable insert welds, and back purged welds. Prerequisite: WELD 211M. Corequisite: WELD 221M.

ETEC140M - Lineworker I Theory 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.

WELD213M - Metallurgy This course is an introduction to the science of Metallurgy and its application to the welding of various metals. The course includes theoretical studies as well as laboratory exercises. The concepts covered will include: identification of metals; grain structures; heat treatment processes; quench mediums and effects of mass on quenching; composition of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; microscopic examination of metals; hardness, spark and tensile testing; and the effects of carbon and alloy content on heat-treatments and welding. Prerequisite: MATH111M; Corequisite: MATH135M.
