This course offers a broad overview of the psychological challenges of finding a partner and creating a family system. We start out by building a theoretical understanding of family systems from a variety of different perspectives, but then move on to a more in-depth empirical understanding of the different psychological processes underlying intimate relationships. Then we use the empirical knowledge to build a deeper understanding of our own lives and relationships. 

This course covers the changing concept of health and discusses comprehensive information about health and exercise (physical fitness, adult diseases, nutrients, stress, smoking, drinking and fatigue). Topics include personal well-being for a healthy life; nutrition and health; cardiovascular fitness and health; metabolic fitness and health; muscles, nerves, skeletal physical strength and health; exercise and healthy aging; muscle strength; and muscular endurance. 

The course explores the basic concepts of global health, trends and indicators, determinants, and interventions to improve health. The world has moved from the era of International Health to Global Health with the understanding that the matters regarding health is inseparable in accordance to the national boundaries. Global Health refers to the idea of approaching health issues together as a global citizen and this brings efforts from various actors including state governments, international organizations, private foundations and non-governmental organizations to more. Recently, more non-health related actors are increasingly getting involved with the issues of global health with the rise of new infectious disease in addition to accelerating burden of non-communicable diseases. Today, the issues of Health is reaching major areas that used to be dealt in the realms that were considered irrelevant to health including economy, politics, and international relations. 

This course presents a practical approach (based on Excel examples) to understand the principles of management science and to apply them to business decision problems. Developing models of practical decision-making problems and solving them using Excel Solver, one learns how important and useful the scientific decision making process based on management science is for solving problems in real-world business applications. Focusing on management science modeling skills, this course covers linear programming, simplex method, sensitivity analysis, transportation models, integer programming, and others (if time permitted). Students learn the fundamental knowledge and analytical skills in management science. Management science (also called Operations research) combines the three broad disciplines of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Business Applications. This course aims to develop the ideas of developing, analyzing, and validating mathematical models for decision problems, and their systematic solution. The course involves modeling and mathematical analysis. 

Surveying is fundamental in civil and environmental engineering. This course covers geo-spatial measurements of common civil and environmental engineering projects; the types of instruments, techniques and detailed procedures used for making geospatial measurements in a field environment; the techniques involved in collecting, processing and plotting the types of geospatial data necessary for constructing engineering-scale maps; spatial reference frameworks; and effective approaches to setting up and presenting solutions of positioning/location problems.

This course covers the core of modern macroeconomics and is the intermediate level of macroeconomics. In this lecture, we introduce the dynamic macroeconomic theory and its applications to economic policy. Students are familiar with following concepts: measurement of macroeconomic variables, growth theory, monetary economics, international macroeconomics, the role of the financial system in the macroeconomy, consumption theory, and investment theory. Upon successful completion, students are expected to: (1) understand the concepts and terminologies that macroeconomists typically use; (2) understand the theoretical models that are useful to analyze macroeconomic issues; (3) explain and evaluate empirical implications and policy matters.

This course is an introduction to dynamics. Topics to be covered include kinematics/kinetics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies, Rectilinear motion, Plane curvilinear motion,Relative motion in a plane, Linear impulse and momentum, Angular impulse and momentum, Rotation about a fixed axis, Relative velocity, Relative acceleration, Motion relative to rotating axes, Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies: Force, Mass, and Acceleration and Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Rigid Bodies: Kinematics.  

Prerequisite: MEU2630 Mechanism Design

The course provides a broad study of computer science from formational of computer systems to the modern software stacks such as digital logic design, computer architecture, operating system, computer network, programming languages, concept of computer algorithm and artificial intelligence. Topics include principles of computation; computer organization and operating systems; principal programming concepts and structures; and advanced computer science courses.

This course examines how to write for an authentic audience, and first person narratives that move people`s minds and hearts. The course begins with literacy narratives, learning how they work and how writing our own can expose our own assumptions and tendencies about writing in English. Then, the course covers the genre of the Personal Statement or Statement of Purpose, not as a "template" but as a means to get to know ourselves deeply in order to communicate our best selves persuasively. It covers how to read like a writer and apply that learning to our own writing. By the end of the course, students will have written, through multiple drafts, two first person essays: a literacy narrative and a statement of purpose, following the guidelines of the graduate program of their choice. This is a writing intensive course.

Prerequisite: Writing 1 or Writing 2 or ideally, BOTH. It is assumed that you have already taken a writing class at the university level.
