HVAC115M - Fundamentals of Heating I Lab An introduction to residential high pressure, gun-type burners which includes an in-depth, hands-on course covering the components, component testing, replacement, maintenance and burner troubleshooting, and steady-state efficiency testing. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC114M. It is recommended that students have successfully completed or are simultaneously enrolled in HVAC101M, HVAC109M and HVAC110M.

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

MATH202M - Probability and Statistics In this course students study various topics including basic measure of central tendency and variability, frequency distributions, probability, the binomial distribution, the normal distribution, sampling of distributions, estimation of parameters, confidence levels and hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, simple regression and correlation analysis. Prerequisites: Satisfactory placement test scores as defined by the mathematics faculty or successful completion of the course: MATH145M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

ARTS105M - Introduction to Creative Practice A creative practice can be described as all of the intense research, efforts, and initiatives creative people engage with to create works of art that elicit a response from the viewer. Whether it’s exhibiting paintings in a gallery, or creating illustrations for a client, this course teaches students how to foster the rigorous engagement necessary to position oneself within the creative economy. Students will be taught how artists function within a studio through engaging with the fundamental tenets of creative practice - problem setting, tangential research, play, articulation, exhibition, and conversation. Corequisite: ARTS123M (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement)

ETEC210M - Electrical and Electronic Motor Controls This course will provide in-depth coverage of the theory and operation of AC and DC motor and generator controls and control systems. Subject matter will include generator starting and stopping, and synchronization controls. Motor starting, reversing, and braking controls as well as motor drive systems will also be covered. Solid-state theory will be introduced. Theory and applications for electronic devices and control systems will be presented in the classroom and lab. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC150M or Permission of Program Coordinator or Department Chair.

NURS212M - Nursing IV: Gr1 Community Hlth The student develops increased competence and independence to provide and manage care for patients and families with common multi-system health problems across the life span. The scope of the course includes ethical decision-making, role performance and the care of patients with multi-system health problems of metabolism/immunity/hematopoiesis; cognition/sensation/perception; and cardio-respiratory. Additional course content includes leadership skills, health care policy and legislative advocacy. A research paper is required concerning current health care/nursing trends. Laboratory learning focuses on student case presentations involving current, multi-system health problems and ethical decision-making. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in advanced medical-surgical and community health settings.

PHYS105M - Astronomy I Starting with a survey of the night sky and the daily motions of the stars and planets, this course surveys our current understanding of the Universe. It traces the development of the tools of the modern astronomer and how those tools have led to out theories of the solar system, the life cycle of stars, the formation of elements, the formation of galaxies and the evolution of the universe. Prerequisite: MATH090M or high school Algebra with a grade of “C” or better.

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

ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M
