Patho/Pharm in Nursing Pt II

This course explores major elements of specified disease processes at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels and the pharmacological agents used to treat, prevent or cure diseases across the lifespan. Students examine processes that interfere with human health and underlie disease, address pathological changes in the body, and integrate this knowledge with pharmacological therapy and safe medication management. Nurses must have an understanding of pathophysiology and a current knowledge of pharmacology in order to optimally provide for the health needs and safety of patients.

ST-Offshore Wind FedPermitting

This course provides an overview of the federal environmental laws and regulations that govern the development of offshore wind projects in the United States (US). Told mainly from a developer's perspective, this course will help you understand how those applicable rules are actually interpreted and implemented in this quickly growing industry. There are only seven wind turbine generators in US waters. Soon, there will be over 100 times that many and these next few years, with these first few projects, will set precedent for all future projects.

Bacterial Molecular Genetics

Bacteria existed long before humans arrived on the planet and will rule the Earth long after we have gone. These tiny organisms are experts in adapting to stressful environments and evolving to survive. In this class, we'll examine the molecular mechanisms that bacteria use to evolve. Topics will include gene and genome organization, the central dogma, the DNA damage response and mechanisms of mutagenesis, and methods of genetic exchange between bacteria. We will analyze primary literature and actual biological data to explore how bacteria are able to evolve so well.

Independent Study

In this class, students will acquire hands-on experience in diverse aspects of the research process in any field of Biology, from familiarizing themselves with a research topic, generating interesting questions, designing experiments, acquiring technical skills, collecting and analyzing data, to writing and/or presenting their results. To inquire about enrollment, students should approach a Biological Sciences faculty member to identify mutual areas of interest.

Conservation Biology

(Offered as BIOL 440 and ENST 441) Conservation biology is a highly interdisciplinary field, requiring careful consideration of biological, economic, and sociological issues. Solutions to biodiversity conservation and environmental challenges are even more complex. Yet, conservation is a topic of timely importance in order to safeguard biological diversity.
