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.

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.)

CBAM110M - Industrial Print Reading and Metrology This hands-on course provides students with an introduction to mechanical measurement techniques and engineering blueprint reading. Through practical experience and guided instruction, students will learn to accurately interpret mechanical drawings including tolerances, welding symbology, and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), and perform precise measurements using a variety of instruments. Students will engage in real-world scenarios that develop skills critical to the manufacturing industry. The course will emphasize the importance of precision, ensuring students can confidently read engineering blueprints and verify that mechanical components meet design specifications. Prerequisite: None

ENGL095M - Integrated Reading and Writing Students will develop proficiency in intermediate reading and writing skills. The course emphasizes more advanced skills in reading such as identifying main ideas in long works and across chapters, applying concrete connections to and among abstract passages or ideas, and performing close, critical readings of texts supported by evidence. The course further exposes students to research articles, scholarly texts, and models of persuasive writing in order to prepare them for the research and argument skills necessary for College Composition I. Students will be expected to reach proficiency in effective written communication including sound mechanics (spelling, punctuation, and grammar), improved vocabulary and diction (word choice), varied sentence structure, tense agreement, use of topic sentences and supporting details, and overall development of one singular thesis. Students will also begin to practice information literacy through research exercises and a penultimate annotated bibliography project. This course may not be applied to certificate or degree requirements. Upon completion of the course students must demonstrate the acquisition of these intermediate skills through a final assessment in both reading and writing. A grade of “C” or better is required to advance to ENGL110M. Prerequisite: Placement

ARTS100M - Introduction to Illustration This course will introduce and develop the method, process, and applied techniques utilized in creating visual narratives. Whether it's comic art, concept art, or storyboarding, this course places heavy emphasis on interpreting written concepts, ideation, composition planning, and crafting a finished product. Students will explore a variety of traditional mediums while creating assignment based narrative imagery within structured deadlines. Prerequisite: ARTS123M. (Fulfills Fine Arts Requirements)

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

ADMT225M - Statics This course is an introduction to statics. 2D and 3D forces systems and concept of equilibrium will be presented. Analysis of trusses, frames, shear and bending moment diagrams, centroids and moments of inertia are studied. Prerequisites: PHYS135M and MATH171M.

NURS211M - Nursing III: Elliot CICU The student continues to develop competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Activity Exercise, Elimination, Nutrition Metabolic, Self-Perception and Coping Stress Tolerance. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and child rearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice increasingly complex nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal / pediatric settings.

ETEC142M - Lineworker Co-Op The Lineworker Co-op provides an opportunity for practical experience at an approved site. It is a required component of the certificate program. Students are required to work a minimum of 200 hours. A log of all work will be completed for review by the co-op coordinator and their site supervisor. Periodic evaluations based on performance and other issues related to successful employment will be completed and reviewed by the co-op coordinator and site supervisor, and will be the basis for the final grade. Prerequisites: ETEC140M
