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.

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.)

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.

CIS110M - Microsoft Computer Applications I This is a one semester course that introduces the student to the world of MS Applications Office Suite. Topics will include the use of major applications in the Office Suite utilizing the most current version licensed by the College. This grouping of programs includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point. This is not a course for a student with no computer; it is an intense and rapid instruction in the use of the most common MS Applications programs. (This course cannot be used as a CIS elective for Computer Science majors.)

PSPT103M - Engine and Drivetrain This course includes theory, repair and overhaul procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of internal-combustion engines, transmissions, and drivetrains. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnosis and service today's complex engine, clutch, transmission and drive train systems including two and four stroke engines, chain, belt CVT, and shaft drives. This course includes principles of engine operation, engine related systems, performance diagnosis, service, engine transmission and drive train noise diagnosis. PSPT103M is a spring semester course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to PSPT104M.Prerequisites: PSPT102M with a minimum grade of C.

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.

CAD113M - Applied CAD for Industry An introduction to the basic concepts and practices of producing drawings by Computer Aided Drafting using AutoCAD software. The course will cover setting up for electronic drawing, drawing accurately, controlling the graphic display, basic drawing techniques, graphic entities and an introduction to editing. Prerequisite: WELD113M or permission of instructor.

HUMA211M - Liberal Arts: Community Scholarship Profession A popular criticism of academia is summed up in the term “Ivory Tower.” The image is one of distance and aloofness, and implies that a college education, particularly in the Liberal Arts, has little real-world application. Students will trace the through line across their interdisciplinary courses and connect concepts to the communities in which they will live, vote, and work. They will reflect upon coursework, applications of education, and investigation of career paths. Faculty will also mentor students through the process of setting future-oriented goals for continued personal and professional development. Prerequisites: Completion of ENGL110M or 110XM

CYBD210M - Operating System Artifacts This course explores advanced topics and forensic analysis of the various File System artifacts which could provide useful information leading towards malware detection and presentation of digital evidence for the court of law. Since file systems record every event of a system, forensic tools may be used to process information related to user environment, buffer overflows, trace conditions, network stack, etc. Prerequisite: CYB100, CIS102, CIS103.

PSYC110M - Introduction to Psychology This course is an introduction to various areas of psychology, including scientific investigation and prominent theories. Topics include, but are not limited to, motivation, emotions, personality, physiological foundations of behavior, psychological disorders and therapy, sensation and perception, learning, and human development. Pre-requisite – placement into ENGL110XM or ENGL110M
