BUS250M - International Business

GDES210M - History of Graphic Design Will focus on the many accomplishments of notable contributors to the development of graphic design throughout history. Major innovations and trends of visual communication will be explored through the centuries, into the present with an eye on the future. Readings, research, videos and projects, will lead students to know and appreciate notable designers and their importance to visual communication. From the birth of visual messages and early bookmaking to the printed word and multi-media/web design, the phases of visual communication history will connect the past to the present. Prerequisites: None

ASL110M - American Sign Language I American Sign Language I is an introductory course that provides non-native signers with the opportunity to study American Sign Language. Emphasis will be on the development of visual receptive and expressive skills necessary for effective communication with the deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Through a variety of classroom experiences, students will learn to recognize and produce both manual and non-manual behaviors that reflect an understanding of the language’s grammatical, semantic, spatial and cultural frameworks. (Fulfills Foreign Language requirement.)

ETEC210M - Electrical and Electronic Motor Controls This course will provide in-depth coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls and control systems. Subject matter will include generator starting and stopping, and synchronization controls. Motor starting, reversing, and braking controls as well as motor drive systems will also be covered. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems will be presented in the classroom and lab. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC150M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

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.

ECE100M - Early Childhood Growth and Development This course provides an in-depth study of typical growth and development from conception through age 8 with an emphasis on the specific needs and characteristics of each developmental level as described in developmental milestones charts and the NH Early Learning Standards. The experiences in this course will focus attention on how observation, documentation, and assessment can be used to inform understandings about children and the practice of teaching. Focused instruction is given on learning how to observe, document, and analyze children’s thinking and developmental processes. Insights gleaned from this learning will be enhanced by theories and research on child development. Prominent theories of child psychology, including but not limited to Piaget, Erikson, Maslow and Bronfenbrenner, will be introduced. At least 15 hours of observation of children in childcare settings is required. Prerequisites: none
