CHEM090M - Foundations of Chemistry This high school level course in chemistry examines the structure of matter and the nature of chemical reactions. Lab activities will be included to help reinforce theory classes. The course helps to prepare students for college-level sciences. These credits are institutional only and do not count towards graduation.
PSPT105M - Fuel Systems The Fuel Systems course including theory, repair and service procedures with an emphasis on diagnosis of modern fuel injection and carburetion systems. This course includes carburetion fuel system and service, computer controls, exhaust gas analysis, emission control systems and service. This course provides an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnosis and service today's complex systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform service and repair procedures, and diagnose fuel and related system concerns on today’s power sports vehicles. PSPT 105M is a summer semester course. Prerequisites: PSPT104M with a minimum grade of C.
NURS212M - Nursing IV: Elliot/Fuller 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.
PHIL240M - Ethics This course is designed to introduce students to some classical and contemporary ethical perspectives, philosophies, and decision-making models. The goal of this course is to relate and apply such knowledge to modern day life; hence any concepts, models, and theories presented will also often be applied to specific problems and cases. Applications may include general ethical issues and/or more career specific issues, (to be determined by student/faculty needs or interests). Prerequisite: ENGL110M with a grade of “C” or better.
ETEC140M - Lineworker I Theory This course provides an introduction to basic lineworker electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to climbing, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Lineworker Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: Placement into MATH 135M or permission of Department Chair.
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
MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics. Problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with the use of technology, will be emphasized and reinforced throughout the course as the student becomes actively involved solving applied problems. Topics to be covered include Number Theory and Systems, Functions and Modeling, Finance, Geometry and Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and selected subtopics related to the student’s major field of study. Prerequisite: Successful completion of: MATH090M with a “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission of the Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.
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
