MKTG282M - Marketing Research

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

ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

ECE214M - Developmentally Appropriate Guidance and Discipline for Young Children The emphasis of this course is on the role of positive child guidance in preparing young children to become competent, confident and cooperative individuals. The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning (CSEFEL) pyramid model will serve as the conceptual framework for evidence-based practices and intervention approaches. The course will focus on three main overarching themes: promotion of all children’s social and emotional development, prevention strategies for at risk children, and individual & intensive interventions for children with persistent challenges. Access to an Early Childhood program is required in order to complete an ongoing and in-depth case study. Students are required to purchase a Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription. Prerequisites: ECE 100M & ECE 104M

ROBO210M - Robotic Processes This course covers the knowledge and skills that an operator, technician, engineer or programmer needs to set up and program a robot. Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. Prerequisites: ADMT 112M

CBAM120M - Control Fundamentals with Python This course introduces the Python programming language and how it relates to controlling a mechatronic system. It is designed for students with little to no prior programming experience. Students will learn the fundamentals of Python, including basic syntax, data structures, control flow, and functions, while also gaining hands-on experience writing, debugging, and running Python programs for a mechatronics system. Prerequisite: None

AUTO1031M - IC Engine and Systems AUTO1031M is a comprehensive course including theory, repair and overhaul procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of internal-combustion engines. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose and service today's complex engines and systems. This course includes principles of four-stroke cycle operation, engine related systems, performance diagnosis, service, engine noise diagnosis, and the fundamentals of diesel engine operation. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose engine and system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO1031M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training may be required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO2011M, AUTO2012M, and AUTO2013M. Successful completion of AUTO1011M with a minimum grade of C is required to register for this course.

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.

MATH090M - Foundations for College Mathematics This course is designed to review and enhance mastery of basic mathematical and algebraic skills needed to complete a college level course in mathematics. Topics covered are operations with whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, signed numbers, percent, ratios, proportions, algebraic expressions, linear equations/inequalities, exponents, square roots, and polynomials. Students will work with basic geometric formulas and basic descriptive statistics. Students will also manipulate formulas; convert between different units of measure; solve word problems; interpret/analyze data; perform basic graphing techniques; perform operations with real numbers and polynomials; graph linear equations; solve linear equations, inequalities, linear-equation systems and quadratic equations; factor polynomials; and recognize basic functions and their related notations. Calculators will not be used in this course until the end of the term. This course is enhanced with web-based technology enabling self-paced learning. Students may take this course in multiple semesters until all concepts have been mastered. Course offered every semester. Credits do not count toward degree requirements. Successful completion of this course requires a grade of "C" or better. Prerequisites: Placement Test or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.
