This course provides advanced application of the art and craft of sound design. The tools and processes essential to conceptualizing and implementing aural content and technical delivery of a sound design will be utilized in the department?s main-stage productions, supplemented by class projects.

Climate change has become a threat multiplier that is exacerbating existing conflicts and has the potential to cause new conflicts around the world, ones with serious geopolitical implications. While geopolitics used to be driven primarily by security and economic concerns, the growing impact of climate change is making it increasingly evident that it too is increasingly impinging on critical geopolitical reconfigurations. There has been considerable work on the politics of climate change and energy security as separate issues, but much less on the relationship between the two.

The purpose of this clinical practicum is to provide the student with the opportunity to plan and provide community based nursing care and a population based intervention.

The course develops the practical knowledge and analytical skill required to make sense of field problems faced by public managers, and to design and implement strategic and effective practical action in the public sector. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-PolSci majors.

This course is part of the Political Science and Legal Studies Undergraduate Research Engagement Program (UREP). When possible, student interests are paired with faculty in need of research assistance. Please visit the Political Science department website for information.

In this course, students will critically review relevant literature and discuss strengths, weaknesses, and future directions. Course content will be organized around three main themes. Epidemiology, determinants of physical activity and sedentary behavior. Students will be introduced to innovative research designs to better understand the scope of the inactivity problem, associations with health outcomes, and factors associated with and predictive of these behaviors. Objective and subjective assessment of physical activity and sedentary behavior.

People are able to infer the characteristics of a scene or object from an image of it. In this course, we will study what is involved in building artificial systems which try to infer such characteristics from an image. Topics include: Basics of image formation - the effect of geometry, viewpoint, lighting and albedo on image formation. Basic image operations such as filtering, convolution and correlation. Frequency representations of images. The importance of scale in images. Measurements of image properties such as color, texture, appearance and shape.

This course covers both the principles and the practice of mobile and wireless networks. Topics will include application use cases, the unique aspects of the wireless (as opposed to wireline) links, and approaches for handling mobility, authentication, security and privacy, energy management, user localization, and virtualization in mobile and wireless networks. The focus of 'practice' will cover the overall architectures (both control plane and data plane) of 802.11 (WiFi) networks and 4G/5G cellular systems; LEOS, vehicular, and IoT networks will also be briefly covered.

This course provides an introduction to the field of multi-media (e.g., air, water, soil, food) environmental health risk assessment and how society incorporates risk assessment findings into regulations and policy.
