HIST102M - United States History to 1877 This course examines the political, social, and cultural development of the United States from settlement to1877. It emphasizes political institutions, sectional rivalry and slavery, the development of nationalism, and the cultural development of the American people. The course concludes with the period of Reconstruction. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL110M. (Fulfills Social Science or Humanities requirement)

HVAC222M - Residential and Commercial Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Lab This lab covers: installation and start-up of central air conditioning systems and heat pumps; troubleshooting and mechanical/electrical repair of various makes and models; pricing components and billing procedures. Prerequisites: HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC121M, HVAC122M; Corequisite: HVAC221M

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)

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

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course provides an introduction to the principles and practices of medical microbiology. Topics covered include: the nature and behavior of microorganisms; principles of growth and reproduction of microorganisms; identification of microorganisms using staining, pure culture, biochemical and antigenic techniques; and the epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, and appropriate control measures for microbial diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and helminthes. Prerequisite: successful completion (grade “C” or better) of BIOL110M or BIOL108M, and ENGL110M

ARTS117M - Art History I This course surveys the history of art and design in Western and non-Western traditions from the prehistoric to the dawn of Modernism. Each module is oriented around a core question that enables the class to make connections across the timeline of art history. This course emphasizes the connections among historical, political, social, religious and artistic developments, showing how artists and designers are influenced by the culture and time in which they live. Prerequisite: ENGL110XM or ENGL110M (Fulfills a Social Science or Fine Arts requirement.)

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.

LSSC299M - Social Science Capstone Taken in a student’s final semester of study, the Social Science Capstone provides students with an opportunity to synthesize the knowledge gained in their previous coursework. Students develop and personalize an individual research topic/project based on an area of interest. The individualized project will require students to demonstrate proficiency in research, critical thinking, and communication as well as an awareness of global perspectives. Students will be expected to consult with faculty in their area of interest in an advisory capacity. Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 48 credits including ENGL110M, POLS110M, POLS210M, GEOG110M, and HIST203M or HIST215M or SOCI250M, with a grade of "C" or better.

ETEC110M - Electrical Fundamentals I This course provides an introduction to basic electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to the National Electrical Code, basic DC electrical theory, magnetic theory, electrical formulas and calculations, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Corequisite: Placement into MATH135M.

ADMT120M - Motor Controls and PLCs for Manufacturing This course will provide basic coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls as well as control systems. Subject matter presented will include generator and alternator starting, stopping, and synchronization controls as well as motor starting, reversing, braking, and speed controls. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems, motor drives, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will be presented in the classroom and lab. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: ADMT118M
