PSYC215M - Abnormal Psychology This course focuses on defining and understanding what constitutes abnormal behavior. Theoretical perspectives such as biological, psychosocial, and socio-cultural approaches will be examined and applied through comparative analysis. Students will be able to identify and interpret behavior and diagnostic criteria associated with mental illness. Synthesis of disorders, assessment, and diagnosis will be fostered in the classroom and applied to diverse cultures, communities, and societies. (Fulfills Social Science requirement.) Prerequisites: PSYC110 and ENGL110 with a “C” or better

HVAC110M - Related Electricity I Lab Lab work on the principles of DC and AC electricity that are fundamental to the HVAC area. These include: Ohm’s law, series circuits, parallel circuits, meters, wire gauges, magnetism, AC generation, AC calculations, and basic electric motor principles. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC109M. It is recommended that students have successfully completed or are simultaneously enrolled in HVAC101M.

MATH145XM - Quantitative Reasoning - Corequisite

CBAM125M - Manufacturing Fundamentals Students will explore the manufacturing process not only as a sequence of material manipulation but also as a product of management. Current managerial philosophies and their effects on every phase of manufacturing will be examined. This information will be synthesized and applied to a manufacturing model, which will allow students to test their theories on managing a manufacturing facility with limited resources. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity, and dependability. Prerequisite: None

GDES228M - Graphic Design Experiential Learning This course will provide opportunities for students to work with clients on actual graphic design projects, in a professional environment, through experiential activities and/or internships with professional organizations and businesses. The experiences are paired with in-class learning activities. The final grade for the course will take into account participation, evidence of learning, thoroughness and quality of assignments, and supervisory feedback. Prerequisites: GDES110M, GDES114M, GDES115M, GDES122M, GDES124M, GDES150M, GDES155M, GDES210M, GDES 205M, GDES213M, and GDES229M Co requisites: None

WELD220M - Fabrication Techniques and Estimating This course deals with the problems encountered when welding different types of steel and non-ferrous metals in a production shop: the use of arc motion and work motion equipment and robotics in the modern welding factory; the importance of welding procedures and the use of fixtures; and the estimating of typical welding costs (materials, cutting, welding, consumables and overhead) used to price out a job. Prerequisite: WELD111M, WELD112M, WELD121M, WELD122M, WELD211M, WELD212M.

ENGL220M - College Composition II From ads to memes to media, persuasion is everywhere, and learning to recognize and evaluate it is an essential skill for the 21st century. College Composition II builds on the foundation of research, writing, and rhetoric established in College Composition I, but goes deeper into the study of rhetoric – the use of speech, writing, and visual images to persuade, motivate, and inform a target audience. Topics of study include the rhetorical situation, classical and modern persuasive appeals, and the ethics of argumentation. We’ll look at how rhetoric shapes our daily lives, and how we can use it to navigate power and produce social change. We’ll consider the impact of medium on messaging, and how to select and organize information effectively for various modes of expression. In addition to skill-building assignments, students will create three substantial persuasive projects using written, spoken, and visual rhetoric. Prerequisites: ENGL 110M/110XM with a grade of C or better. (Fulfills English requirement)

WELD186M - Blueprint Reading for Welders This course is an introduction to print reading. It covers the different types of lines, dimensions, and notes used to make sketches and prints. The various types of views and their relationship to each other, the welding symbols, and inspection and testing symbols for all welding processes. Students will develop a practical understanding of the blueprint reading knowledge required by the welding industry for employment. Prerequisites: Weld 180M or Weld 111M and Weld 113M or permission of instructor.

CHEM115M - General Chemistry I This chemistry course provides students with a sound foundation in the basic principles of chemistry. The course includes topics such as structure of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemicall periodicity, chemical bonding, gases and their properties. Laboratories are used to reinforce the principles and concepts presented in lectures and to develop critical thinking and scientific writing. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and biology with a grade of C or better, high school Algebra I or Math131M.

ETEC135M - Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control This course will provide in-depth coverage of industrial controls and instrumentation. Subject matter will discuss concepts of pressure, level, flow, temperature, humidity, position, safety and alarms, instruments and conditioning, regulators, valves and actuators, process control, documentation and symbols, signal transmission, logic gates, PLC and motor control basics. Since this course is a theory course only, it is not intended for State of NH electrician’s apprenticeship training but may be taken to satisfy the State of NH electrician’s requirements for continuing education. However, students will be expected to perform the Substation Co-Op hours as part of the overall program completion. Prerequisites: ETEC110M. Corequisites: None.
