NURS111M - Nursing I: Simulation 5 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.

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.)

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

HVAC134M - Fundamentals of Gas Heating and Piping Installation Theory An in depth study of propane and natural gas piping from the point of delivery to the gas appliance or utilization equipment. Basic gas theory involving a thorough understanding of the physical properties and characteristics of propane and natural gas will be covered. Piping installations involving gas pipe sizing, material selection, proper installation, and pressure and leak testing of piping is also covered. National Fuel Gas Code as it relates to the above topics is also emphasized. Corequisite: HVAC135M

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.
