AMSL 211 is the third course in a three-course sequence in ASL offered at the University of St. Thomas.  This course is designed for students with substantial previous knowledge of American Sign Language. Students will build on basic grammatical skills and vocabulary through the study of intermediate ASL grammatical structures and the development of more in-depth sign vocabulary. This, in turn, will allow students to achieve intermediate productive and receptive signing skills. They will also further develop cultural knowledge and intercultural skills, cultivate the skills needed to interact with the Deaf community in the United States, and explore the study of American Sign Language and culture as an integral part of a liberal arts education. Prerequisites: AMSL 112 or equivalent completed with a C- or better

Influences of humans on the global environment have reached unprecedented levels, increasing the need for society to strive to live in a sustainable manner. Many issues facing the environment have a biological basis. Thus, an understanding of basic biology is necessary to understand and address many environmental issues. This course will cover the fundamental biology involved with five environmental issues at the global scale: climate change, excessive nutrient loading into ecosystems, agricultural production, chemical contaminants, and loss of biodiversity. Specific biological principles to be covered include energy and nutrient mass balance by organisms and ecosystems, homeostasis and organismal physiology, and population dynamics and conservation biology. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 207 or BIOL 208 or any 100 level GEOL or CHEM 112 or CHEM 115 or permission of the instructor.

Increasingly, education for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals includes the practices of reading literature, writing reflectively, and engaging in role-play to learn how to care for patients (and for themselves). This is sometimes called narrative medicine. By focusing on stories (of the patient, the healthcare professional, and the cultures and systems in which both live) and therefore humanizing the often-impersonal world of the healthcare system, it improves the quality of care for patients and reduces burnout among healthcare professionals. In this course we will engage in practices of narrative medicine, reading and writing about literature as a means of understanding ourselves and others. The texts we'll read illuminate questions about pain and illness, empathy and the training of healthcare professionals, the health implications of racial and economic injustice, and the need for reformation of the healthcare system.

Three observations inform this course: - Engineers at every level of an organization can exhibit leadership, amplifying their contribution and effectiveness. - Many engineers who are asked to assume leadership roles do so without the benefit of leadership education or a ‘roadmap’ for their role. - The core capabilities, competencies, principles and practices of highly effective leaders are relatively consistent and can be developed. The course addresses three basic questions: 1. What makes for a highly effective leader? 2. Who am I as a leader and how do I exhibit my leadership? 3. How do I develop my leadership? It is designed to develop engineering students’ leadership capabilities by building their own “roadmap” for their leadership; increasing clarity about one’s self-as-leader; strengthening their awareness for interpersonal and leadership effectiveness within organizations; and sharpening their capability for managing their leadership development throughout their career and life. Designed in seminar format, the course provides students with multiple readings, personal reflection, assessments, exercises and case studies and large and small group dialogue. Students are encouraged to consider a vision of their career within a global mindset and grounded in the Engineering Code of Ethics. Assignments are intended to facilitate career management and presenting oneself as a professional and as a leader.

This course will develop the necessary background to understand the material selection process in the design of medical devices. The students will learn about biomaterials and also develop an appreciation for the relationships between a material’s properties, structure, and the implementation to achieve a desired functionality. The class is also suitable for students who do not have an extensive background in organic chemistry, biochemistry, or materials science. The first half of the semester will concentrate on the properties of several classes of materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Topics such as material characterization, biocompatibility, processing of biomaterials, and failure of medical devices will be included in the second half. A number of existing medical devices and various real-life issues related to these devices will be explored based on instructor’s experience of working in the industry. The course will be applications oriented, with particular emphasis on orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. This course will use a combination of lectures, guest lectures, tours, student presentations, and self-directed learning.

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.

The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped
the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

This course examines philosophical arguments for and against the existence of God and for the claim that the Christian faith, in particular, has been revealed by God; it also considers how faith, reason, and doubt are related. Possible questions include: Are there any good arguments for God’s existence? Does the evil in the world make it unlikely there is a God? Are faith and reason (including the findings of science) compatible? Could it be reasonable to believe in certain foundational Christian claims such as that Jesus is divine, that Jesus founded and gave authority to the church, and that the Bible is the word of God? Does the plurality of religions undermine the particular claims of any one of them? Can one make religious commitments in a state of doubt about the evidence? Prerequisite: PHIL 110 or PHIL 115.

PHIL 301 is a signature work course in philosophy, open to all students.  Topics vary from section to section, but all sections focus on issues relevant to our university’s mission.  Various sections will, therefore, focus on questions concerning such things as the nature and dignity of human beings, what makes for a meaningful human life, the compatibility of faith and reason, what makes for a just society, or the application of ethical principles, to a variety of settings and professions, for the sake of the common good.  The course provides students the opportunity to reflect on and integrate knowledge acquired throughout their academic career, and to approach problems through multiple disciplinary lenses.  Prerequisites: PHIL 110 and at least 80 credits completed by the start of the course. Prerequisites: PHIL 110 and 80 credits completed

Course description: Some of the major global health challenges we will discuss include communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as environmental, women’s, and refugee health issues. We will pay particular attention to health systems and the role these systems play in promoting health and development around the globe. The course is global in its scope, but the focus of many of our discussions will be on low- and middle-income countries, the health of the poor, and health inequity. The relationship between health and socio-economic development will be examined throughout the course. The course will expose students to concepts from social epidemiology, such as social determinants of health and the impact of various social, economic, political, and historical contexts on health.

Course description: Epidemiology (“epi”) is the study of the distribution and determinants of health and disease patterns in human populations. As a scientific method, epidemiology can be used to investigate, analyze, and ultimately prevent or control health problems on the population level. In this course you will develop your understanding of the epidemiologic approach for addressing important population health problems. You will have the opportunity to examine various population health issues from an epidemiologic perspective. Initially, you will learn to speak the “epi” language such that you can describe data in epidemiologic terms and examine associations between exposures and health/disease outcomes. You will also develop skills to conduct basic data analysis, critically analyze epidemiologic study methods, and assess the validity of “epi” study results. You will leave this course with a better understanding of both the significant impact of epidemiology on human health as well as some of the limitations of the science. Prerequisites: PUBH 220 and DASC 120
