GDES210M - History of Graphic Design Will focus on the many accomplishments of notable contributors to the development of graphic design throughout history. Major innovations and trends of visual communication will be explored through the centuries, into the present with an eye on the future. Readings, research, videos and projects, will lead students to know and appreciate notable designers and their importance to visual communication. From the birth of visual messages and early bookmaking to the printed word and multi-media/web design, the phases of visual communication history will connect the past to the present. Prerequisites: None

ETEC260M - Renewable and Alternative Energy Systems This course will be a presentation of the theory, installation, maintenance, and operation of primary types of renewable and alternative energy systems. Primary focus will be on photovoltaic systems, wind generating systems, and backup generators. Prerequisites: ETEC 210M or ETEC 220M.

HUMA106M - History of American Popular Music This course provides a historical overview of American popular music, from the mid 19th Century to the turn of the 21st Century. Styles of music that are studied are: Folk music, Jazz, Ragtime, Blues, Swing, show music, motion picture music, Country, Rock &Roll, Soul, Heavy Metal, Pop, Grunge, Rap and Latin /African music. Students will be required to listen to music associated with these styles.

BUS114M - Business Management This course introduces the principles and techniques underlying the successful organization and management of business activities. The course combines the traditional analysis of management principles with the behavioral approach using case studies. Areas of study include the management functions of planning, organization, leadership, staffing control, and the decision-making process.

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.

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.

PSYC215M - Abnormal Psychology This course focuses on defining and understanding what constitutes abnormal behavior. Theoretical perspectives such as biological, psychosocial, and socio-cultural approaches will be examined and applied through comparative analysis. Students will be able to identify and interpret behavior and diagnostic criteria associated with mental illness. Synthesis of disorders, assessment, and diagnosis will be fostered in the classroom and applied to diverse cultures, communities, and societies. (Fulfills Social Science requirement.) Prerequisites: PSYC110 and ENGL110 with a “C” or better

PHYS210M - University Physics I This is a calculus-based study of the fundamental principles of classical mechanics, an introductory course emphasizing motion in one and two dimensions, forces, gravitation, energy, momentum, rotation, and oscillations. The course is recommended for the student specializing in science and engineering. There are two components to the course, three hours of lecture/problem solving per week and a three hour lab course. Corequisite: MATH204M.

ETEC150M - Power Transformers and Rotating Machinery This course presents information on the theory of operation, application, and installation practices pertaining to equipment that provides for electrical power generation, transmission, and use. The course covers energy and power conversion, AC and DC power systems, power quality considerations, AC and DC generators, transformers, and AC and DC motors. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC120M AND math135m or permission of the Program Coordinator.
