This class provides an overview of film and television production principles and processes from script to screen and also prepares students for later hands-on production courses. We will explore both the art and craft of film and digital motion picture production, including the roles and functions of the major creative and technical personnel in the scripting, pre-production, production, and post-production phases. Technical aspects such as digital vs.

Basic ideas of point and interval estimation and hypothesis testing; one and two sample problems, simple linear regression, topics from among one-way analysis of variance, discrete data analysis and nonparametric methods. Prerequisite: Statistc 515 or equivalent.

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Why and how is the state involved in the definition of families, access to marriage, and intervention on behalf of children? This course will address these and other questions as we explore the ways in which the legal boundaries and connections between government and family have evolved over the last century in the United States. Issues of gender, race, class and sexual orientation will naturally play a significant role in these explorations.

Basic concepts (over real or complex numbers): vector spaces, basis, dimension, linear transformations and matrices, change of basis, similarity. Study of a single linear operator: minimal and characteristic polynomial, eigenvalues, invariant subspaces, triangular form, Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Inner product spaces and special types of linear operators (over real or complex fields): orthogonal, unitary, self-adjoint, hermitian. Diagonalization of symmetric matrices, applications.

The aim of this course is to provide graduate students with a solid understanding of experimental methodology. It starts with a short survey of experiment design issues and common games. The main emphasis then turns towards examining various econometric tools that researchers use to analyze experimental data. These include non-parametric and parametric treatment testing, regressions, maximum likelihood approach, etc.

This course is intended to provide biomedical engineering students with an understanding of the principles and devices of biomedical instrumentation with emphases on analog and digital electronic circuits, transducers, instruments, and measurements for obtaining information from human body and/or biological systems.

The most prominent figure in India's anti-colonial nationalist movement, Mahatma Gandhi has also been one of the most remarkable global leaders and thinkers of the twentieth century. Charting Gandhi's trajectory against the background of events in South Africa and colonial India, this course examines the ideas, strategies, achievements and limitations of Gandhian politics. Using a variety of written sources and films, we will critically assess Gandhi's influence on and conflicts with various streams of anti-colonial nationalism(s) in India.

This is the second semester of biomedical engineering capstone design sequence. The scope of biomedical engineering design and development encompasses a wide variety of scientific and engineering fields. This is a project based course utilizing fundamental concepts involved in biomaterials, biomechanics, bioinstrumentation to solve biomedical engineering problems. In this course students will build upon their capstone design project from Senior Design I with engineering analysis and design optimization of their selected design concept, prototyping, testing, reporting and oral presentations.

An introduction to kinesiology with specific applications to dance. We will attend to fundamental principles of human anatomy, biomechanics, motor development, and motor learning. We will establish a working lexicon for articulating musculoskeletal structures involved in simple action sequences. We will define motor learning theories and discuss motor development trajectories, along with illustrations of their dance-specific applications from the scientific literature. Labs will focus on acquiring skill in administering motor development assessments and functional tests.
