ENGL110XM - College Composition I - Corequisite College Composition I introduces students to the practice of academic writing and research. A review of critical reading and thinking skills is included as an essential foundation to academic understanding and inquiry. Students conduct intensive research on a contemporary problem, grounding themselves in its context, causes, and possible solutions to produce a documented Central Course Essay. Research methods covered include locating, integrating, and citing source materials as well as appropriate use of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Basic information literacy skills such as evaluating sources for credibility and identifying mis/dis/mal-information, particularly in online materials, are emphasized. Writing is approached as an iterative process that engages various stages and employs a variety of rhetorical approaches to produce a polished final essay. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110XM or completion of ENGL 095M with a grade of C or better. College Composition I – Corequisite provides additional support to students who need to build stronger foundational skills through mandatory additional class time. Corequisite support may be any combination of additional instruction; application of reading, writing, and research skills; and one-on-one support from the instructor.

ETEC250M - Advanced Controls I - Digital Fundamentals - PLC Basics This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic, digital circuit components, computer number systems, Boolean algebra, all basic logic gates, timer chips, Schmitt triggers, digital to analog converters, analog to digital converters, binary coded decimal encoders, basic microcomputer architecture, an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and ladder logic in mechatronic systems. The basics of digital logic control, basic PLC modules and components, analog and digital I/O, programming concepts in ladder logic with reference to IEC61131 specification (an industry accepted programming standard for PLC’s), and PLC system components will be covered. Students will learn the role digital components and PLCs play within an electronic / mechatronic system or subsystem. They will also learn basic elements of PLC functions by implementing / reviewing small programs and testing these programs logically and / or on an actual system. Students will learn to identify malfunctioning PLCs and digital circuits, as well as to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify and localize problems found in digital systems and PLC’s. Prerequisites: ETEC210M or ETEC220M

ECE116M - Child Health Safety and Nutrition This course provides an overview of the health, safety and nutritional needs of young children and early childhood practices to ensure the health and well-being of each child in a group setting. Content includes roles and responsibilities of adults in meeting children’s diverse needs, the promotion of healthy lifestyle practices, understanding common childhood illnesses and injuries, meeting NH Childcare Licensing standards, and planning nutritious meals that are appropriate for each child. Recognition and treatment of child abuse victims will also be addressed. Students will be required to complete 10 online health and safety training modules through the New Hampshire Health & Safety Training Program, which is mandated by the Child Care Licensing Bureau, in order to be eligible to work in any early childhood program. It should be noted that CPR and First Aid information is covered in this course; however, certification is NOT part of the course. Prerequisites: None

MATH145XM - Quantitative Reasoning - Corequisite

HVAC244M - DDC and Building Automation Controls II This course introduces electronic environmental and industrial control concepts and equipment to electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel. The course consists of basic subject matter such as introduction to electronics; solid-state theory and devices; digital numbering systems; digital logic; and basic theory of analog and digital control devices and systems. The course then advances to Computer System architecture; programmable logic controllers; direct digital control for total energy management systems; electronic controls for HVAC equipment; and industrial control devices and systems. This course is intended for students with prior training in electrical theory and practice with electrical equipment. A review of basic electrical theory will precede the other subject matter, but this review is intended as a brief refresher only and not as preparation for the course material to follow. Prerequisites: HVAC243M Minimum grade of a C

HIST215M - World Religions This course introduces the major religions of the world by surveying their origins, core beliefs, traditions and practices. The history and 'world view' of a number of religions is examined by way of themes, such as: sacred power; myths, art, and rituals; the problem of evil; and the relationship between cultures, ethics, and religions—with an emphasis toward observing the continuity and/or contrasts that exists between them. The key texts, figures, and ideas of major religions will be explored. Course prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.

NURS111M - Nursing I:Practice&App Lab B2 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

CIS220M - Object-Oriented Programming This is an advanced, language-independent programming course. Students will master the Object Oriented skills necessary for success in the modern IT workplace. Such topics as Unified Modeling Language, Encapsulation, Data Abstraction, Modularity, Polymorphism, Inheritance, good programming techniques and debugging skills will be emphasized. The programming languages used will be the choice of Java, VB.Net, Or C#. Prerequisite: CIS107M or CIS108M OR permission of the instructor.
