Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of the mental processes involved in perception, attention, memory, knowledge, language, problem solving, reasoning, and decision-making. In short, cg is concerned with the scientific study of the mind and mental processes (Goldstein, 2005). When you finish the class you should be able to understand, evaluate, and do research in cognitive psychology. You will be learning from both a text and primary journal articles.

This course introduces Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies. Students will uncover the history of modern, western ideas about sexuality and sexual and gender identity through a wide variety of texts and images across a range of disciplines and methodologies. Sexuality and gender will be considered not as "natural" or consistent phenomena, but as sets of cultural beliefs that have changed over time, manifesting themselves differently in varied cultural and historical contexts.

Queer Theory critically examines the way power works to institutionalize and legitimate certain forms and expressions of sexuality and gender while stigmatizing others. Queer Theory followed the emergence and popularity of Gay and Lesbian (now, LGBT or Queer) Studies in the academy. Where LGBT Studies seeks to analyze LGBT people as stable identities, Queer Theory problematizes and challenges rigid identity categories, norms of sexuality and gender and the oppression and violence that such hegemonic norms justify.

A graduate version of E&C-Eng 558 which includes additional readings in VLSI architecture, CAD, and systems. A more ambitious design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-Eng course such as digital signal processing, control, computer architecture, or computer graphics. Prerequisites: E&C-ENG 212 and 221 or equivalent.

The course is focuses on mathematical and analytical tools planning and operating freight systems. The course will address aspects of transportation economics, environmental and sustainability issues, optimization, and algorithms related to logistics systems and terminals. Many aspects of the course will be treated in a way that is general to all modes. Some specific knowledge related to trucking, railroads, and maritime will be considered.

Solution of problems in structural mechanics that contain sources of input or system uncertainty; reliability, random vibrations, homogenization, stochastic differential equations and other topics. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 331, CE-ENGIN 260 or M&I-ENGIN 273 or equivalent and MATH 331 or equivalent

Microbiological and biochemical properties of microorganisms important in environmental engineering practice. General fundamentals of microbiology and application to drinking water treatment and distribution, water pollution control, and natural systems.

Design of water supply and wastewater collection systems. Topics include water transmission mains, water distribution systems, pumping, storm sewers and sanitary sewer systems. Design projects, oral and written engineering reports. Ethics and professionalism.

Covers topics such as the relational model, query languages, database design; storage and indexing, query processing and optimization, transaction management; XML data management; information integration; data stream systems; database security.

This class is an in-depth introduction to systems, focusing on principles of system design that cross-cut numerous systems artifacts, including operating systems, databases, runtime systems, and architecture. We will cover all levels of the "system stack", from chips to distributed systems. This course may be used to satisfy systems core requirements.
