Emphasis is placed on an experiential approach to determining and implementing social responsibilities of business, and potential for conflicts among stakeholders, are experienced directly.

This course entails the study of environmental aspects of blasting in mining and civil engineering projects. The course includes topics such as the study of ground vibrations, fly rock events, and gas generation among others.

Bonding and structure of materials, including symmetry, crystal structures, quantitative crystallography, point, line, and planar defects, superstructure, and structure of non-crystalline materials. Reciprocal space representation of materials structure and connections to scattering and adsorption of x-rays and electrons. Principles of spectroscopic analyses of materials structure and composition.

Principles of and state-of-the-art techniques for imaging materials and surfaces. Techniques covered include Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and various Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques. Sample preparation and handling, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of each technique are also covered.

Principles of and state-of-the-art techniques for spectroscopic and diffraction-based characterization of materials. Techniques covered include X-ray and electron diffraction, X-ray and electron spectroscopy, secondary ion spectroscopy, and vibrational spectroscopy techniques. Sample preparation and handling, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of each technique are also covered.

This course focuses on unique and timely topics in natural resources and environmental science. May be repeated under a different subtitle for a maximum of six credits.

Selected topics in nutritional sciences related to health and chronic diseases, e.g., autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer. This course will explore the pathophysiology of chronic diseases influenced by nutrition and discuss mechanisms underlying nutritional approaches for prevention and intervention.

This course introduces the accelerated baccalaureate student to the concepts of health promotion and disease prevention as they are applied to diverse populations in a variety of settings. This course will enable students to provide beginning professional nursing care to individuals and families. Emphasis will be placed on the key concepts of therapeutic communication, teaching-learning principles, and implementation of evidence-based interventions.

The course introduces the accelerated baccalaureate student to health assessment and psychomotor skills through didactic and lab experiences. This course is the first of two courses in which emphasis will be placed on key concepts and skills including the nursing process, teaching- learning principles, therapeutic communication, physical examination, cue recognition, patient safety, and medication administration, and medical/surgical asepsis.

The course will provide didactic and clinical experiences to accelerated BSN students. This Fundamentals I course is the first of two courses that will enable the students to provide beginning professional nursing care with individuals and families requiring interventions. Emphasis will be placed on the key concept of clinical judgment and will include development of cue recognition.
