The purpose of this course is to introduce the structure and function of cells, and how structure and function drives organismal physiology and diversity. By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological functions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life.

This course will provide the opportunity for students to identify their own bias in the selection and application of theory and the factors that contribute to this process. This course serves to inform the teaching of all social work practice courses (micro through macro), providing students the opportunity to develop skills in deconstructing and reconstructing key theories and frameworks that are utilized in both practice and classroom settings. This course will provide opportunities for students to critically analyze and compare theories from a variety of frameworks including ethics, diversity and social justice. These critical thinking skills will be exercised through students selecting potential theories and/or frameworks for use in their banded dissertations.

We will examine the teaching and assessment practices of exemplar teachers in higher education. We will explore important social justice principles in SoTL generally and teaching evaluation methods specifically, including: multiple learning styles, developmental needs of students, and diversity. Simultaneously, students will develop a scholarship of teaching and learning project throughout the semester, which will consist of detailed and ongoing instructor feedback. For this project, students will create a research proposal consisting of a literature review, conceptual/theoretical framework, sample, measure(s), and analysis plan. This project will arm students with a framework for conducting a scholarship of teaching and learning in their future social work education practice.

Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting in the world that creates positive impact through the development of new and better solutions to customer and societal problems. Entrepreneurs see the world differently, noticing problems that others have overlooked and using passion, creativity and business skills to craft new and better solutions that address those problems effectively and sustainably. In doing so, entrepreneurs create value for others and advance the common good, whether in a startup enterprise, or an established company, or in a social-impact enterprise. In this course, business students of all disciplines will get an introduction to the entrepreneurial process, gaining knowledge and experience in core practices of entrepreneurial discovery and creation. The course is experiential – students will learn by doing, whether through in-class exercises, an exploratory field study, or case study analysis and discussion. Students will learn how this process advances the common good and will identify how it can be deployed within multiple fields of study. Note: Students who receive credit for ENTR 100 may not receive credit for ENTR 200 or ENTR 260.

This course provides the student with a set of skills to improve products and processes already in manufacturing as well as to develop products and processes in the development stages of a project. The definition of DOE promoted is " a tool to assist in the process of understanding the system". There will be discussion of how DOE fits into the overall product lifecycle and where it applies and does not apply to the area of testing. Tools covered include full and fractional factorials, central composite, Box-Behnken, Taguchi, Evolutionary Operation and the method of steepest ascent. Theoretical statistics understanding is assumed coming into the course. A standard, simple process will be presented which allows for improved communication and user confidence in using the tool set. The primary objective is to assist the student in implementing the skills learned as a part of the course. This is an applications - oriented course that includes case studies, team projects, student presentations and reports, guest lecturers and use of computational software. A quick statistical overview will be provided in the class as a refresher, but is not intended to cover the subjects in depth to students new to the subject. It would still be beneficial to review all of the topics prior to starting the class. The underlying statistics covered in ETLS 506 are a critical foundation for the material presented in the DOE class. The minimum background needs to include an understanding of: statistical symbology; normal distribution; ANOVA; and z, t, and F tests. General understanding of alpha and beta errors flow charts, Pareto charts, cause and effect diagrams and SPC is nice but not required. If you have equivalent background, the instructor will grant a written waiver.

Pre-clinical testing is utilized to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of promising medical technologies prior to evaluation and use in human beings. This testing information is required by regulatory agencies around the world. The studies also provide extremely valuable and cost effective product development opportunities for medical product sponsors. The tests are defined by guidance documents, international standards and the formal product risk assessment. Coordination of the multifunctional team that acquires and also utilizes this data can greatly enhance the value of this testing. This course will review the history and preclinical regulatory requirements of medical devices and description planning and management of associated pre-clinical evaluations. In addition, the risks involved in medical device development and use are explored. Risk mitigation activities associated with development of an actual medical device are presented and then experienced through their application for a hypothetical medical device. Class time is devoted to providing feedback for individual student projects about mitigating the development risks for a student chosen real or hypothetical medical device.

Many engineering systems are inherently dynamic in nature. Characterizing and designing such systems requires mathematical modeling, simulation, and visualization using modern software such as MATLAB, SIMULINK, and SolidWorks, possibly with add-on modules. Lectures focus on the detailed applied mathematical modeling of a variety of systems from different energy domains with a bias towards mechanical systems such as mechanical translational, mechanical rotational, hydraulic, thermal, among others. The laboratory has 3 components to it: (1) software training(as necessary) , (2) developing dynamic models using MATLAB and SIMULINK, (3) creating CAD models of systems, and (4) integrating the dynamics models with the visualization to create computer animations of the resulting motions of the mechanical systems. Students also work on a team-based dynamic simulation and visualization of mechanical systems project.
