ETEC160M - Commercial and Industrial Wiring This course presents comprehensive coverage of the requirements and methods for wiring commercial and industrial installations. The subject matter will include interpretation and analysis of electrical schematics, load calculations, equipment types and applications, special occupancies, special equipment, and special conditions as they relate to these installation types. The National Electrical Code will be an integral part of this course. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC120M and MATH135M, or permission of Program Coordinator. Corequisite: MATH151M

ARTS120M - Digital Photography This course provides an introduction to the principles and application of pixel-based photography and students are required to provide their own DSLR camera or equivalent. Utilizing digital equipment, industry standard editing applications that correspond with traditional darkroom techniques and rules of composition, students will produce creative images based on modern and traditional photographic genres. A brief history of photography will be introduced with emphasis in critique and contemporary issues. Students will utilize today’s industry standard applications as the primary image-editing tool. The lab component includes both editing and off-campus/individual photography assignment completion. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement).

SOCI110M - Introduction to Sociology This course is an introduction to fundamental theories and concepts of sociology.

BIOL110M - Human Anatomy and Physiology I This is a comprehensive course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. It presents current in-depth information in basic molecular and cell biology as well as human cells, tissues, and organ systems. This first of two courses includes molecular biology which covers DNA and RNA structure and the formation of proteins, as well as basic cellular respiration. It encompasses the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, microscopy and human physiology. Prerequisites: Successful completion (grade C or better) of high school level Biology and Chemistry or permission of the instructor.

HUMA215M - Giving Voice: Human Communication in Nursing The Human Communication in Nursing course seeks to prepare students entering the healthcare field with essential communication, conflict management, and relationship skills. The course serves as a preceptorship class in which students will learn the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor, to navigate difficult conversations, and to communicate clearly with a multidisciplinary team during an emergency. Upon successful completion of the course, students will enter the field with the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor once they have received the proper orientation and skillset at an organization. The course is also one steeped in the Humanities. Students will consider how the narrative form (story) and reflection intersect with healthcare, specifically the nursing profession and patient care. Through this exploration students will hone their communication skills and reflect on the humanity of their practice. The course employs literature, film, autoethnography, journaling, and creative nonfiction to shape the relationship of both caregiver and patient. In addition to preceptorship preparation, students will engage in scholarship and story composition through the construction of a memoir.

MATH171M - Pre-Calculus This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary for study of Calculus. Students will study: logarithmic; exponential and trigonometric functions; complex numbers, conic sections and analytic trigonometry; determine and write linear equations in several forms; explain graph functions using symmetry tests; recognize and graph functions including quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; use function transformation techniques; perform composition and arithmetic operations of functions; find and graph inverses of functions; use properties of logarithms. Prerequisite: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by mathematics faculty, MATH155M with a grade of “C” or better, or permissions of the instructor. Offered every semester.

ETEC220M - Commercial and Low Voltage Building Systems This course presents information on the theory of operation, applications, and installation practices for low voltage and communications systems typically installed in buildings. These include audio, video, security, telephone, fire alarm, computer networking, and wireless systems. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites:ETEC120M and MATH151M or MATH155M, or permission of Program Coordinator

LSSC299M - Social Science Capstone Taken in a student’s final semester of study, the Social Science Capstone provides students with an opportunity to synthesize the knowledge gained in their previous coursework. Students develop and personalize an individual research topic/project based on an area of interest. The individualized project will require students to demonstrate proficiency in research, critical thinking, and communication as well as an awareness of global perspectives. Students will be expected to consult with faculty in their area of interest in an advisory capacity. Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 48 credits including ENGL110M, POLS110M, POLS210M, GEOG110M, and HIST203M or HIST215M or SOCI250M, with a grade of "C" or better.

ENGL200M - TopxinLit: TBA In this course, students study selected literary themes such as gothic, science fiction, or women’s literature. Students apply critical contexts and practice various theoretical approaches to the readings. Prerequisite: ENGL 109M or ENGL 110M. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)
