Health Equity Research Foundations

The SPARK program, a collaboration between the Center on Health Equity Transformation (CHET) and the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), offers research training for a diverse cohort of undergraduate students from the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University. Students, known as "SPARKlers," receive mentorship, training, and funding to conduct research on health disparities in local communities. Through BSC 390: Health Equity Research Foundations, SPARKlers learn research fundamentals, develop protocols, and submit IRB applications.

Sustainable Engineering

This course introduces students to sustainability and its connection to civil engineering infrastructure. Course topics are divided into integrated infrastructure systems, environmental sustainability (including footprints and life cycle assessment), economic sustainability (including time value of money and life cycle costing), social sustainability (including design thinking), and synthesis (including sustainability rating systems and navigating sustainability trade-offs).

Leadership & Communication

This course is designed to expand student understanding of the theory and practice of leadership, conflict management, and decision-making.
