BCT students approaching graduation learn to prepare for their professional life by editing their resumes, writing cover letters, developing relevant interviewing skills and starting to network effectively with industry leaders. Each week a different business professional meets with students in this class to discuss careers in the industry. Many speakers are also potential employers who are accepting resumes and may conduct interviews.

The discipline of political science finds its origins in the study of law and legal doctrine. Though the discipline has become much more diverse in terms of the topics investigated by political scientists, it is nonetheless essential to understand the roles played by law, courts, and other legal actors in the political process. The purpose of this seminar is to introduce graduate students to the public law subfield by focusing on empirical research on law and courts from both American and comparative perspectives.

This course will examine the social, political, and economic bases of power in North Africa and West Asia ("Middle East") in comparative perspective. We will emphasize the elements and processes of contested sovereignty, such as class conflict, citizenship, protest movements, institutional centralization, material resources, and global encroachment.

This is a project-based interdisciplinary course which will provide instruction and guidance to students as they gain practical experience using UASs in a variety of applications. Classroom instruction will cover: mission planning, data analysis, data visualization and UAS public policy in national and international contexts. Additionally, students will have lab instruction in which they process and analyze imagery and data acquired by UASs using combinations of different photogrammetry and GIS software packages.

The broad disciplines of natural resources conservation, ecology, and environmental science often require field work, whether it is in a forest around the corner or on a coastline on the other side of the globe. Early in their careers, students learn about experimental design, sampling protocols, and data analyses, however little formal training is provided about field logistics.

Introduction to general manufacturing methods for Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) with emphasis on concepts, physics, and instruments of various micro/nano-fabrication techniques that have been widely used in industry and academia. Topics include: 1. MEMS fabrication: lithography technologies, physical and chemical deposition methods, and physical and chemical etching methods, process integration, etc. 2. MEMS physics: Scaling laws, material properties, forces, microfluidics, interfacial phenomenon, etc.; 3.

In this course we'll see models of asset prices that try to explain observed features of asset prices using macroeconomic quantities. The goal is to discuss plausible microfounded models whose asset pricing predictions match empirical facts. We will go through the details of the models, trying to understand why they were constructed the way they are, and also work on linking models and data. We'll also discuss recent advances in asset pricing and their implications for future research.
