MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

BIOL099M - Foundations in Biology This course will cover the main points of high school level Biology. It is meant to strengthen students’ background in Biology and to prepare students for college level life science courses. The course will give an overview of cell biology, the biology of organisms, and the biology of populations. A lab component will strengthen the theory information. These credits are institutional and are not applied towards graduation.

ETEC110M - Electrical Fundamentals I This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to the National Electrical Code, basic DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Corequisite: Placement into MATH135M.

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.

ARTS123M - Drawing I Various drawing media and techniques are explored in this course. Assignments are designed to build drawing observation skills necessary for visual communications. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

SPCL115M - Biotechnology Skills and Industry Standards This course equips students with foundational knowledge and hands-on experience in biotechnology, focusing on the essential skills required for entry-level laboratory positions and further study in the field. Students will train in molecular biology, microbiology, and biomanufacturing techniques, including DNA extraction and analysis, protein quantification, PCR, aseptic technique, and cell culture. Emphasis is placed on laboratory safety, documentation, and technical communication, as well as industry standards such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), quality control, and regulatory compliance. Students will maintain laboratory notebooks, write technical reports, and complete tasks that simulate real-world workflows. This course also prepares students to pursue industry-recognized credentials aligned with biotechnology career pathways.

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.

TCHE225M - Curriculum and Instruction for Diverse Learners This course will provide students with strategies for positive and productive interactions among teachers, parents, co-workers, and other professionals working with children. It will prepare future teachers to engage with diverse students, their families, and the broader community in a way that not only respects and values their unique backgrounds but also maximizes their contributions to the educational process. Students will explore and develop collaboration and communication skills for participating in IEP teams, co-teaching, and working with families as partners in the process. Students will develop strategies for establishing and maintaining positive and supportive relationships with families and will also become familiar with community resources that support children and their families. 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.

ENGL110M - College Composition I College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M or completion of ENGL095M with a grade of C or better.
