Assessment Of Students With Visual Impairments

This course covers various types of assessments used to evaluate students who are blind or visually impaired. Participants will discuss testing and assessment including the development of standardized tests and their applicability for individuals with visual impairments, as well as alternate assessments. Students will practice assessing and planning educational programs for students with visual impairments by completing a Functional Vision/Learning Media Assessment, as well as assessments in assistive technology and the Expanded Core Curriculum.

Student Teaching/Field Experience In Visual Impairments

This is a supervised student teaching/field experience working with children, preschool through graduation age, who are blind or visually impaired. Candidates will apply best practices for working with children who are blind or have low vision, including those with additional disabilities. Successful completion of this course will demonstrate the candidate's ability to apply methods of teaching that include assessment, program planning and implementation, appropriate environmental and academic modifications, and instruction in the Expanded Core Curriculum.

Human Biomechanics

This course presents an engineering-based approach to the quantitative study of the human musculoskeletal system. Principles involving static and dynamic mechanical analyses will be applied to quantify the forces and moments in human posture and movement. Study of the material and biological properties of the musculoskeletal system is included because they are intimately coupled to the formulation and interpretation of problems in static and dynamic biomechanics.

Interiors Graduate Studio

Advanced graduate-level comprehensive information gathering and analysis for identification of design issues associated with workplace and the human environment. Includes methods of inquiry and design thinking appropriate to a specific typology, design programming, conceptualization, studio experiences, discussions, and development of strategies resulting in a design or research deliverable for an Interiors industry driven problem.

Mechanical Vibrations

The analysis of vibrational motion of structural and mechanical systems. Single-degree-of-freedom systems; free vibrations; nonperiodic excitation; harmonic excitation. Modal analysis of multiple-degree-of- freedom systems. Vibration of continuous bodies, including strings and bars (axial, torsional and flexural modes). Energy methods.

Inet Capstone

EXP 455 is designed as the required capstone course to earn the interdisciplinary Certificate in Entrepreneurship Studies at the University of Kentucky. It is aimed at providing students with the opportunity to integrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired as part of the courses they have completed in entrepreneurship as well as provide experiences for students to focus on innovative processes that require entrepreneurial thinking. The course is based upon the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps program and Stanford's Lean Launch Pad developed by Steve Blank.
