PHYS136M - College Physics II This course is a continuation of the study of elementary physics that began in PHYS135, College Physics I. Special emphasis is placed on the principles introduced when solving problems. Topics to be investigated include the fundamentals and the applications of oscillating systems and sound waves, heat energy and thermodynamics, electrical charges, and electric and magnetic fields. Prerequisite: C- or better in PHYSICS135M and MATH171M or equivalent.

BUS210M - Business Communications Effective communication is the lifeblood of the organization and the foundation of a successful business career. The potential business professional must master the methods and techniques necessary to utilize facts, make inferences, understand communication strategies, create logical presentations, and develop critical skills in listening, speaking, and writing. The potential business professional must also understand nonverbal, visual, and mass communication. This course helps students polish their business-communication skills by teaching them how to create an error-free electronic portfolio, which will provide students with a job-search tool. The course emphasizes proper business formatting, along with other communication activities and the communication process as it relates to business. Prerequisite: ENGL110M or ENGL110XM and BUS114M.

NURS111M - Nursing I:Practice&App Lab D1 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.

BUS124M - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management This course gives students comprehensive knowledge in the development and management of small businesses. Sales, production, personnel management, and financial management are examined from the point of view of the small business entrepreneur or manager. Using case studies, students will be introduced to effective techniques for: starting a business; obtaining loans; hiring and supervising employees; marketing products and services; and dealing with legal issues and regulations. Using concepts and techniques learned from the course, students will also create and develop a business plan for a real or fictitious organization of their choice.

ACCT113M - Introduction to Accounting and Financial Reporting I This course is an introduction to accounting as the language of business and the need for accounting in the business world. Students will develop an understanding of the concepts and usage of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expense accounts. The student will be introduced to accounting procedures necessary to prepare financial statements utilizing current concepts and accounting principles. Topics that will be covered include journalizing transactions, trial balance, adjustments, closing entries, accounts receivable and payable, inventory, special journals, cash receipts, disbursements, and banking procedures.

HUMA211M - Liberal Arts: Community Scholarship Profession A popular criticism of academia is summed up in the term “Ivory Tower.” The image is one of distance and aloofness, and implies that a college education, particularly in the Liberal Arts, has little real-world application. Students will trace the through line across their interdisciplinary courses and connect concepts to the communities in which they will live, vote, and work. They will reflect upon coursework, applications of education, and investigation of career paths. Faculty will also mentor students through the process of setting future-oriented goals for continued personal and professional development. Prerequisites: Completion of ENGL110M or 110XM

HVAC120M - Related Electricity II Lab A lab based continuation of HVAC110M covering electrical circuit controls commonly found in air conditioning and heating systems. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC120M. Prerequisites: HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

ADMT112M - Introduction to Engineering Design and Solid Modeling This problem based learning course covers the knowledge and skills needed to explore the engineering design process. Individual projects, team projects and laboratory exercises will be used to continually hone the student’s interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. Everyday products will be examined for historical, societal, design, safety, and manufacturing perspectives. Topics include ideation, sketching, design constraints, solid modeling, decision making, statistical quality control, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis. Students will develop an appreciation for good design and the ability to communicate design ideas via 3D modelling, written and oral reports. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. This course uses the latest version of the Solidworks design software. Prerequisites: None

ADMT210M - Manufacturing Systems I Students will explore fluid power controls, manufacturing component capacities and functions for automated manufacturing. This will include the logic controls and setups for creating systems needed in the manufacturing production line. Discussion will include the development of individual mechanical component setups to arrive at the desired output of the mechanisms in the system. Learning activities will include the use of computer simulation and hands-on applications of an operational production component. Each mechanism will be studied as to the specifications, functions, and safe operation. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisites: AMT120M

ETEC150M - Power Transformers and Rotating Machinery This course presents information on the theory of operation, application, and installation practices pertaining to equipment that provides for electrical power generation, transmission, and use. The course covers energy and power conversion, AC and DC power systems, power quality considerations, AC and DC generators, transformers, and AC and DC motors. 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 math135m or permission of the Program Coordinator.
