This General Education course addresses fundamental questions, ideas, and methods of analyses in the social and behavioral sciences with relevance to the area of public health. It introduces students to the cultural, social and behavioral factors that impact disease epidemiology and transmission of communicable diseases, that are determinants of diseases, and that effect health inequities. It introduces students to systems thinking and systems simulation modeling in disease prevention.

Probability theory and basic statistics with emphasis on engineering applications. Discrete and continuous probability models and their use in analysis of experimental data, quality control, manufacturing processes and Monte Carlo simulation. Basic regression analysis and statistical procedures for estimation. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or equivalent.

The world is becoming increasingly data rich, and our abilities to make good decisions rest on our capacity to analyze and convey data in meaningful ways. Engineers are increasingly expected to use large quantities of information as they design and evaluate systems. Unfortunately, human beings are limited in our perceptual and cognitive abilities, making it difficult for us to use these large amounts of data.

The fundamentals of the science of thermodynamics, control volume analysis of the conservation of mass and energy and the second law of thermodynamics, pure substance property relations, applications to refrigeration and power systems. Prerequisites: PHYSICS 151 and MATH 233. MATH 233 may be taken concurrently.

Analysis of the stress and strain in structural members due to axial loads, torsion and bending. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 210.

A vector treatment of equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies. Forces, moments, couples, equations of equilibrium, free-body diagrams, machines, trusses, frames, friction and centroids. Shear and bending moment diagrams. Prerequisites: MATH 132 and PHYSICS 151

Engineering materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Emphasis on the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their mechanical behavior, including the fundamentals of design for performance. Prerequisite: CHEM 111.

This course will augment the Inclusive Design in Healthcare course for honors students by expanding with more advanced topics in the subject area beyond the content covered in the main course. Students in this colloquium will be further trained as leaders in the efforts to improve Inclusive Design in Healthcare as they develop leadership skills and a greater vision and understanding of this subject. These students will practice these skills by inspiring the best efforts of their team in the semester?s project of the main course.
