An overview of the Athletic Training profession(s) including aspects of professional practice, areas of specialization, professional issues and trends, and career paths and opportunities. The course will consist of assignments, lectures and interactive discussions led by faculty and visiting professionals designed to expand students' understanding of the profession(s) and to assist in educational and career planning and discernment.

Physics of photovoltaic (PV) devices, emerging technologies, design of PV cells and systems, electronic components for signal conditioning, integration, installation, performance evaluation and economic issues related to PV systems.

Introduction to deterministic and parametric modeling approaches for mathematically simulating stormwater runoff and quality. Emphasis on modeling concepts and model formulation. Analysis of deterministic component models and their linkage. Formulation of existing parametric models. Presentation of methods for parameter optimization and regionalization. Demonstration of linkage between the two approaches with illustrative examples.

An introductory course devoted to the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the genera- tion and storage of metabolic energy associated with the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids.

A continuation of BCH 501. The topics discussed include the molecular basis of gene expression; molec- ular endocrinology; biochemistry of connective tissue, muscle, erythrocyte, and the immune system; structure, function and metabolism of membranes. The sequence BCH 501, BCH 502 covers the material of BCH 811.

Introduction to medicinal chemistry will be explored through rational biochemical and physical organic chemical approaches to drug design, action and development. Structural features, physical properties, mechanism of action and metabolism of drug like molecules, forces that govern interaction of drug-like molecules with their targets, enzyme mechanisms and inhibition and xenobiotic metabolism will be illustrated with specific examples showing how drugs function at the molecular level.
