This course investigates language variation and change in its socio- historical context, focusing on the effects of such parameters as age, gender, education, social class, and region on the historical development of language through time and space. The effects of socio- historical variables will be examined at all levels of historical language variation and change: orthographic, phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and lexical.

An advanced laboratory course offering students the opportunity for hands-on application of specialized theories and methods at the advanced level of graduate training in linguistic research. The lab environment will generally involve both individual and small group work, developing both independent research skills and an ability to engage in collaborative linguistic investigation. May be repeated to a maximum of ten credits.

As part of the first-year organ system-based curriculum, this course covers the normal structure, development and function of the components of the hematopoietic and lymphoreticular systems; the pathophysiology of hematologic and lymphatic diseases and disorders; and the medical and pharmacological approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

As part of the first-year organ system-based curriculum, this course covers the normal physiology and histology of the musculoskeletal /integumentary systems, the pathophysiology of diseases and disorders of these systems, and the medical and pharmacologic approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Review of dynamic characteristics unique to high speed rotating shafts in turbomachinery. Equations of motion for a rotor, including gyroscopic effects; computational methods, including finite element; effects of bearings and nonlinearities, stability; application to design situations in high-speed equipment, including aerospace, energy generation, and other industrial applications.

Systems Engineering is a discipline necessary for cost-effective development of complex multi-disciplinary systems. Optimal design of modern systems for defense, transportation, telecommunications and energy, among other industries, requires a different perspective than the design of subsystems operating within them. This course presents principles and the practice of Systems Engineering, along with its origins in the aerospace and software industries, historical perspective and case studies of current interest.

This course will revolve around the development of a Single-Product (also called Single-Purpose) production system. It covers topics in basic lean system operations of as well as the management system to support the attainment of highest customer satisfaction with respect to Safety, Quality, Cost, Productivity, Delivery and Human Resource Development. Working in teams, students apply fundamental lean tools and concepts to develop a lean operations environment capable of driving continuous improvement in a simulated factory.

Permanent changes in shape of solid materials occur as plastic deformations in many engineering applications, such as extrusion, forging and rolling. This course examines the experimental basis and fundamental theoretical framework for plastic materials. The analysis of plastic deformations in simple bending, torsion, tension and compression, and some two dimensional problems are presented. Connection between mechanics parameters, design variables and metallurgical phenomena are discussed. Limit analysis is studied.
