Course Description: Studies the theoretical formulation of questions for political science research and examination of the design and execution of empirical research. Includes consideration of developing hypotheses for research, strategies for data collection (survey research, observational methods, content analysis), managing research projects, and ethical considerations related to the conduct of research.

Course Description: The course examines how design thinking and innovation principles can be used to enhance the value and accelerate the development of business opportunities that deliver organic growth. Students will apply design methodologies and innovation tools in a live, corporate project, working closely with a client company with a real problem to solve.

Course Description: Intro to fundamentals of cell structure and function, emphasizing the techniques and technologies available for the study of cell biology. Content includes cell structure and function; energy flow in cells; information flow in cells focuses on modern molecular biology and genetic engineering, and includes DNA replication, the cell cycle, gene expression, gene regulation, and protein synthesis. Prerequisite: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1610 or CHEM 1810 or instructor permission.

Course Description: Focuses on society's interaction with water, air, and soil systems. Management of these major environmental components is examined, considering health and ecological needs and technical limitations. This course may stand alone as introduction to the current environmental challenges that we face, or as the foundation for further study in the field of environmental engineering. Prerequisites: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1610

Course Description: Applies basic engineering principles, analytical procedures and design methodology to special problems of current interest in civil engineering. Topic for each semester are announced at the time of course enrollment.

Course Description: Experimental study of selected operations and phenomena in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Students plan experiments, analyze data, calculate results and prepare written and/or oral planning and final technical reports. One hour discussion, four laboratory hours. Prerequisite: CHE 2215 and CHE 3316 and CHE 3321; corequisite: CHE 3322

Course Description: Factors that determine the genesis and evolution of a process. Principles of marketing and technical economics and modern process design principles and techniques, including computer simulation with optimization. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Course Description: Design, analysis and testing of an embedded computer system to meet specific needs, considering public health, safety and welfare as well as societal impacts. Tradeoff analysis and constraint satisfaction facilitated by the use of appropriate engineering analysis techniques. Semester-long team project develops physical prototype. Counts as major design experience for ECE students. Prerequisites (ECE 3430 or ECE 3502 ECR II) AND (ECE 3750 or ECE 2700) AND 4th year standing

Course Description: Application of experimental methods to the design of experiments. Topics include data acquisition, hypothesis testing, and uncertainty assessment. Students will complete an array of experiments requiring the examination of test equipment and procedures for heat transfer, mechanical and fluid systems. Pre-requisites: MAE 2330 or MAE 3230.

Course Description: Applied research in areas pertinent to aerospace engineering; conducted in close consultation with a departmental faculty advisor. Includes the design and construction of experiments, analysis, or the investigation of physical phenomena. The research may be related to ongoing faculty research and may be the topic of the senior thesis, but its scope must be significantly beyond that required for the thesis. Prerequisite Fourth yr. standing

Course Description: Applies basic engineering science, design methods, and systems analysis to developing areas and current problems in aerospace engineering. Topics vary based on student and faculty interest. Prerequisite: Third or Fourth-year standing.

Course Description: Studies the principles of design; the architecture of cities and urban design; perception of space and visual analysis; graphic presentation, including mapping techniques; and inventories, information storage, retrieval and use. Prerequisite PLAN 2110

Course Description: This course is an introduction to the theory of the industrial organization (from a game-theoretic perspective) and its applications to industries with strong engineering content (electricity, telecommunications, software and hardware, etc.). Topics include: congestion pricing in networks, pricing and efficiency in electricity markets, planned obsolescence in software development, "networks" effects and the dynamics of technology adoption.Prerequisite: ECON 2010, APMA 3100 or 3110.

Course Description: The goals of this course are to educate graduate students in SEAS in the ethical conduct of research & publication, and to facilitate the thoughtful integration of ethics into their engineering research & practice. This is done by i) engaging students in deliberative readings, discussion, & writing about EERP, and ii) using cases to consider the ethical dimensions of engineering and resources to support the engineer facing ethical dilemmas.

Course Description: This course develops fundamental concepts and methodology in the design and analysis of experiments. Topics include analysis of variance, multiple comparison tests, completely randomized designs, the general linear model approach to ANOVA, randomized block designs, Latin square and related designs, completely randomized factorial designs with two or more treatments, hierarchical designs, split-plot and confounded factorial designs, and analysis of covariance. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software.
