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

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

CIS110M - Microsoft Computer Applications I This is a one semester course that introduces the student to the world of MS Applications Office Suite. Topics will include the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer as a research tool, and MS Applications Office Suite (the most current version the college is licensed for). This grouping of programs includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point. This is not a course for a student with no computer skills and should not be considered as such; it is an intense and rapid instruction in the use of the most common MS Applications programs. Students will be issued a computer competency examination on the first day of class. Students who do not successfully complete the competency examination will not be allowed to remain in CIS110, rather, they must register for CIS097 - Computer Fundamentals.(This course cannot be used toward graduation requirements for Computer Science majors.)

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.

MATH111M - Numerical Geometry This is an applied course in Euclidean geometry stressing calculator manipulation and problem solving. The topics include linear, area, and solid measures involving US and SI units, solutions of linear equations, proportional relationships, congruent and similar figures, properties of polygons, circles, and ellipses. Prerequisites: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

AUTO2023M - Vehicle Performance Diagnosis AUTO2023M is a course focused on diagnosis and resolving problems with today’s advanced vehicles and systems. This course includes diagnosis techniques, the diagnostic process, and finding the root cause of customer concerns. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnosis and correct problems with today's complex vehicles. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO2023M 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 may be required to receive credit for this course. Prerequisites: Successful completion of AUTO2012M with a minimum grade of C.

PSYC110M - Introduction to Psychology This course is an introduction to various areas of psychology, including scientific investigation and prominent theories. Topics include, but are not limited to, motivation, emotions, personality, physiological foundations of behavior, psychological disorders and therapy, sensation and perception, learning, and human development. Pre-requisite – placement into ENGL110XM or ENGL110M

BIOL109M - College Biology II This intense college level biology class is the continuation of BIOL108M. It covers evolutionary biology, classification, organisms and populations, and ecology. This course emphasizes science as a process, scientific inquiry, and critical thinking as applied to the topics covered. Pre-requisites: High School Biology and Chemistry with a C or better and placement into ENGL110M or permission of the instructor.
