This course, the second in a two-semester sequence in regression modeling, covers regression models for outcomes which are not normally distributed, such as binary and count data. The course will cover the generalized linear model framework, multivariate maximum likelihood theory, logistic regression, Poisson regression, and nominal and ordinal logistic regression models, as well as approaches for building models and checking assumptions. The course will include the use of computing tools to apply these models to real data.

In this course, dental students participate in preclinical seminars on dental treatment of mentally, medically, and physically disabled patients. Topics to be discussed include geriatrics, special needs adults with mental and physical disabilities, special needs pediatric patients, hospital-based patients, and those in recovery groups due to substance abuse. Discussion will include the etiology, prevalence, and modifications to treatment for these patients.

This course is the second year of the two year longitudinal core curriculum in Interprofessional HealthCare education. The course focuses primarily on team approaches to patient quality & safety and issues surrounding transitions in settings of patient care. Background information is presented through BlackBoard and students then meet in several interprofessional groups for discussions and completion of a group capstone project. There are also two required named lectures to attend and one session on Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD). Seminar, 16 hours.

This course will provide dental students who have an interest in teaching an opportunity to learn about being a dental faculty member in a systematic way. This course will educate dental students on two main subjects: 1) Roles, responsibilities, and opportunities for dental educators in an academic institution, and 2) Effective teaching in the classroom and clinic. Lecture, 16 hours.

A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in civil engineering such as: design of small earth dams, man and the environment, drilling and blasting, scheduling construction operations, construction equipment and methods, traffic safety, optimum structural design, environmental impact analysis, systems analysis in civil engineering, motor vehicle noise and its control. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits, but only four credits can be earned under the same title. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the CE 399 number.

Devoted to a special topic of current interest in civil engineering. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits, but not more than four credits may be earned under the same subtitle. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the CE 499 number. May be counted as technical or design elective with consent of chairman.

This course provides an overview of the scientific principles and management strategies used to effectively manage the physical, chemical, biological and social resources within a watershed so as to improve and sustain the integrity of the watershed system. The course will examine watershed management from both a scientific/engineering perspective as well as from a social science/policy perspective. Examples of effective watershed management will be drawn from cases studies in Kentucky and the United States.

A description of relationships between molecular structure and optical and electronic properties, focusing on changes in properties moving from single molecules to aggregates to bulk solid states. Electronic structure and photonic properties of organic molecules, solid-state polymers and interfaces will be considered. Material characteristics will be studied in the types of devices where organic materials show promising performance: displays, lighting, transistors, energy conversion/ storage applications, and non-linear optics technologies.

A study of applications of organic materials in electronic and optical devices, focusing on appropriate material-selection, processing, and interpretation of device output. Will cover basic methods for the formation of thin films of organic molecules and polymers, various spectroscopic techniques relevant to device performance, and methods to form and measure devices such as transistors and light-emitting diodes. Hybrid organic-inorganic material systems, and complex device structures for all-organic circuitry will be discussed.

A laboratory course focused on the fabrication and characterization of organic and organic - inorganic hybrid electronic devices. Although a stand-alone course, the laboratory will cover practical aspects related to topics covered in CHE 536 and 566, including processing methods and characterization of optical and electronic properties of organic materials and thin films. Prerequisites: CHE 536 or CHE 566, and PHY 213 or 232, or permission of the instructor
