POLS215M - TopxinPS:IntroConstitution Law This course will vary by semester. Political Science topics will be chosen to reflect faculty and/or student interest and will then focus on an in-depth coverage of that topic. All courses will focus on one or more subject areas: political philosophies, the nature of political order and power, individual rights and liberties, forms of government, and human conflict. Additionally, the course will focus on broad political themes and concepts such as: the public good, political authority, law, justice, and freedom. Critical thinking, speaking and writing skills will be emphasized, as well as the ability to analyze political texts and other sources. Prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.

ETEC120M - AC Fundamentals and Residential Wiring The material presented includes AC theory, electrical distribution, wiring methods and requirements, branch circuits and feeders, grounding and bonding, and overcurrent protection of AC circuits and residential wiring. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work provides for reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Placement into MATH135M

AUTO1021M - Steering and Suspension Systems AUTO1021M is an in-depth study of steering and suspension systems, alignment geometry, and procedures including the service and diagnosis of these systems. This course also includes the latest cutting-edge electronic controlled systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO1021M is a spring 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 AUTO1031M, AUTO1032M, and AUTO1033M.

CSCN225M - Computer Science in Action II - Quality Assurance and Security This course defines SQA and teaches students how and why it is necessary in today’s programming environment. Students will learn how to develop differing types of test plans, learn differences between manual and automated testing and learn to create secure code on several platforms. Students will learn by doing, testing and securing code they themselves have written in previous classes. Prerequisites: CIS117M or CIS118M or CIS122M or CIS126M or CIS148M or CIS158M and CIS220M. Co-requisites: None.

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

PHYS135M - College Physics I This course is an introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics with emphasis on the application of these principles. Topics to be covered include kinematics of motion, vectors, Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, impulse-momentum for both translational and rotational motion, and the mechanical properties of matter. Dimensional (unit) analysis and critical thinking are stressed. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH155M or equivalent.

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.

HVAC211M - Commercial Refrigeration Theory This course covers: system design and layout, selection of proper components, pipe sizing and layout, wiring, controls and troubleshooting. Prerequisite: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC212M
