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.)

ARTS110M - Welding for the Artist This course is an introduction to welding for the artist. The goal is for the student to develop structurally and aesthetically sound welding techniques in both arc and gas welding. These techniques will enable the art student to create both two and three dimensional artwork. Emphasis will also be placed upon safety, hands-on practice, equipment and process selection, joint design and filler metal characteristics. Students will also learn how to safely flamecut mild steel as well as bend metal using torch heat. Braze welding will also be discussed and practiced. Demonstrations in other welding processes more suitable to welding aluminum and stainless steel will be given. The art of Blacksmithing will also be introduced. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

Prerequisite: Placement into MATH 135M or permission of Department Chair.

ETEC120M - AC Fundamentals and Residential Wiring The material presented includes AC theory, electrical distribution, wiring methods and requirements, branch circuits and feeders, grounding and bonding, and overcurrent protection of AC circuits and residential wiring. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work provides for reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: Placement into MATH135M

MATH202M - Probability and Statistics In this course students study various topics including basic measure of central tendency and variability, frequency distributions, probability, the binomial distribution, the normal distribution, sampling of distributions, estimation of parameters, confidence levels and hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, simple regression and correlation analysis. Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by the mathematics faculty or successful completion of the course: MATH145M 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.

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).

NURS212M - Nursing IV: CMC-F200 The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.
