ROBO211M - Robotic Design Students will design a robot according to specifications for the functions and tasks the robot needs to complete. This will involve many critical features of the robot needed to meet the specified requirements. The course will cover the entire design processes, such as defining the problem, researching and designing, creating a prototype, building a robot, programming and testing, and finally the evaluation of the robot design to the specifications. Prerequisites: MATH090M with a grade of “C” or better.

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.

ECE111M - Infant/Toddler Practicum: Nurturing Environments This course is an introductory practicum that includes observation, participation, and teaching in an infant/toddler setting (students choose to take ECE111M OR ECE 112M as their first practicum). The manner in which a “prepared environment” leads to learning through play and stimulating the development of children will be the focus of the course. Students will observe the effects of space, equipment, materials, and relationships upon play, learning, and discovery. Students will plan and implement developmentally appropriate lesson plans based on the NH Early Learning Standards. Incorporating and documenting routine care as an integral part of the curriculum will be emphasized. Students will attend a weekly three hour practicum placement at an assigned site as well as a weekly seminar class. Students must pass this course with a C or better to move on to the next practicum course, ECE 202M. Prerequisites: none

NURS111M - Nursing I: CMC-E100 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

GEOG110M - World Geography The course is an introduction to the geographic and cultural elements of the world’s major regions. Demographics, origins, language, religion, geopolitics and agricultural features of the regions will be covered. The importance of place (geography) and how it shapes the character of the neighborhood, city, country and world will be emphasized as we look at key issues from a geographic perspective.(fulfills social science requirement)

ENGL110XM - College Composition I - Corequisite 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 ENGL 110XM or completion of ENGL 095M with a grade of C or better. College Composition I – Corequisite provides additional support to students who need to build stronger foundational skills through mandatory additional class time. Corequisite support may be any combination of additional instruction; application of reading, writing, and research skills; and one-on-one support from the instructor.

WELD113M - Technical Blueprint Reading This course serves as an introduction to the basic concepts and practices of technical drawing and blueprint reading. The proper use of drawing equipment, line work and lettering, construction and interpretation of multi-view orthographic drawings, sectional views and auxiliary views will be covered. Other topics of discussion will include dimensioning and tolerances, sketching and structural steel shapes. Throughout the course emphasis will be placed on using the drawing skills learned to maintain a high quality of workmanship in the field.

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.
