When external stressors happen to individuals, their coping occurs with their family involved as a unit. This course covers diverse types of stressors, including immigration and health condition, and investigates how families cope with the stressors. Contemporarily, whereas diverse forms of families exist, the cultural expectations towards families do not seem to have changed accordingly. Thus, the discussions in this course will cover the context of diversity and the diversity of contexts.  

This course explores the structure-function relationship of biological macromolecules like proteins, DNA, RNA, and viruses.  The course explains biological mechanisms learned from other courses such as biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology in atomic detail. 

Structural biology is essential for understanding biology at the molecular level. Furthermore, it is a critical technique for rational drug design. This course also covers recent advances in structural biology. 

The course covers the following topics:

• Basics of Protein Structure
• The Folding, Folds and Functions of Proteins
• Basics of Membrane Proteins
• Basics of Nucleic Acid Structure
• Basics of Lipids and Membrane Structure
• Basics of Carbohydrates
• Enzymes
• Genome Structure, DNA Replication and Recombination
• Transcription
• Protein Synthesis – Translation
• Protein Folding and Degradation
• Transmembrane Transport
• Cell Motility and Transport, Signal Transduction
• Structural Aspects of Cell-Cell interactions
• The Immune System, Virus Structure and Function
• Bioinformatics tools in Structural Biology 

Recommended Prerequisite: Biochemistry I 

This course introduces students to the history, archaeology, art, and texts of Ancient Egypt, from the Paleolithic age to the end of the New Kingdom. It covers the development of low-level food producing communities living in the eastern Sahara, to the emergence and growth of the complex society responsible for the construction of some of the world’s most spectacular and (now) famous monuments such as the pyramids of Giza, and the temples of Karnak and Abu Simbel. The course includes studies of many diverse sources for the history and culture of Egypt, including art and sculpture, administrative, monumental, personal, and religious texts, settlements, temples, and tombs, and material culture such as ceramics, stone tools, wooden artefacts, plants, and animal remains. Additionally, the course introduces students to the history of Egyptology, and archaeology in Egypt. 
 

ESG, which stands for Environment, Social and Governance, is a globally popular issue not only for corporations but also among various social and economic profit and nonprofit organizations. It is broadly introduced as a concept and index to improve long-term growth of corporations and society under the concept of sustainability or sustainable society. It is an actively discussed issue aimed not only at enhancing corporate value but also innovating society and putting environmental and social movement into practice.  

This course teaches the general meaning and contents of ESG and studies ESG practices and cases through group work. Furthermore, the course challenges students to generate innovative ideas that can improve social values through practical applications of ESG for corporations and other organizations. 

This course aims to support participants in establishing a general overview of qualitative educational research, enabling them to critically read and review qualitative academic writings. Participants will also use qualitative research methods to understand the complex and multifaceted nature of educational phenomena based on their own experiences. This course provides the essential foundation for participants to develop as educators (and educational researchers).

This course investigates the history of science since its birth, from the time of Galileo through the discovery of the special theory of relativity by Albert Einstein. The course focuses on how revolutionary transitions in human history always stem from scientific observations of natural phenomena followed by the leading escape from scientific absurdity by physicists like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. 

No course prerequisites are required, and this course is open to non-science majors. 

This course covers various approaches to the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies and programs to address global health problems. By learning from previous successes and failures in global health, the course explores evidence-based strategies, policies, and programmatic interventions to improve the following outcomes: child undernutrition; maternal mortality; malaria; tuberculosis; HIV/AIDS; alcohol use and tobacco control; chronic diseases; mental health; air pollution and climate change; and the 21st century epidemics. Through these case studies, the course will challenge and encourage students to brainstorm various ways to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of global health projects. Sessions in this course will be comprised of interactive lectures and case-based learning. The course requires active participation from all students.

90% of security incidents exploit software vulnerabilities. This course studies principles and mechanisms for improving software security. It discusses various attack techniques; how to defend against them; and more importantly, how to develop software with less vulnerabilities in advance.

The course covers topics such as security principles, buffer overflow, race condition attacks and security development lifecycles (SDL), security by design. Operating systems and computer network courses are recommended before taking this course.

This course presents the analytical tools, financial theories and empirical evidence necessary for making good investment decisions. It focuses on equity investing and covers the following topics: stock returns in historical perspective, expected returns, stock price and macro news, asset allocation problem, international investment, investor's horizon, capital asset pricing model (CAPM), multi-factor model and trading strategies. The course contrasts the traditional view and the behavioral view on portfolio management. Excel (including Excel solver) will be used throughout the course (no prior knowledge is required). 

Designed to provide students with an in-depth exploration of the scientific principles and technological advancements that underpin the production, analysis, and innovation of textiles, this course bridges the gap between science and practical application, equipping students with a robust foundation to navigate the complex world of textiles in various industries. This course offers a comprehensive perspective on the development, manufacturing, and application of textiles, exploring their profound influence on design and construction of clothing. The characteristics of different fibers, yarns, fabrics, and finishes are investigated.
