This course focuses principally on officership, providing an extensive examination of the unique purpose, roles, and obligations of commissioned officers. It includes a detailed investigation of the origin or our institutional values and their practical application in decision making and leadership.

This course number gives faculty members the flexibility to teach various special topics of interest to students, subject to contemporary student demand and faculty availability. The special topics are concerned with techniques, technologies, and applications related to analytics. The offerings include, but are not limited to, such courses as Supply Chain Management, Enterprise Systems, Electronic Commerce, Systems Analysis & Design, Data Mining, Data Warehouse and Database Management, Online Analytical Processing, Knowledge Management Systems, and Programming Languages.

This course is an advanced treatment of two related concepts that are vital to the success of an enterprise; quality and productivity. As a key ingredient of competitive strategy, quality encompasses many attributes of a product or service - such as its design, its features, fit and finish, durability, safety, and customer treatment. In highly competitive settings, a firm that achieves and sustains high quality levels for its goods and/or services, while remaining at least as efficient as competitors in processes used to produce these outputs, tends to outperform its competitors.

This course will cover the general features of the anatomy of the human body and the general aspects of physiology. Early in the semester emphasis will be on physiology in the latter part, with form and function related throughout. Information is presented at the college freshman level.

This course introduces students to major topics in behavioral ecology and comparative neurobiology with an emphasis on inter-relationships between these fields. Topics to be covered vary each semester, but typically include: the optimality approach to understanding behavior, predator-prey behavior, mating and social behavior, behavioral genetics, neural circuits and behavior, sensory biology, neural development, and neural plasticity.

This course provides students with instruction and experience in the experimental research techniques employed in the study of behavioral ecology and comparative neurobiology with emphasis on the integration of these approaches for understanding animal behavior. Each student will carry out three small research projects in the laboratories of three of the participating faculty.

Hands-on course for practitioners interested in acquiring functional MRI technique(s) as a research tool.

Survey of basic concepts and applications in magnetic resonance imaging: physics and chemistry, basic mathematical foundations, workings of a modern MRI scanner, image reconstruction, biology with emphasis on neurobiology, medical applications in the brain and heart. Covers basic functional imaging and spectroscopy.

Advanced study of current topics in reproductive arm biology. The course is comprised equally of student- led discussions and lectures given by faculty with be taken from current and classic literature. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) molecular and cellular endocrinology, hormone receptors and mechanism of actions, reproductive neuroendocrinology, reproductive behavior, gametogenesis, fertilization, sexual differentiation, puberty, menopause and environmental effects on reproduction.

This course will examine the alterations in the brain that occur with aging and in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The emphasis will be on human aging although the relevance of animal models to studies of human aging will be a recurrent theme. The course will examine aging at several levels, including molecular, cellular, organismic, and behavioral.
