Using a One Health Systems lens, the course content will demonstrate how human, animal, plant, environmental, and ecosystem health are interconnected. The field of One Health is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as an important approach to understanding existing and emerging disease, as well as how disruptions in environmental or animal health can directly impact the economic, social, and cultural aspects of human health. This course is divided into three modules.

Public Health Biology is a 1 credit course offered over five weeks that will introduce students to some of the basic terminology and concepts of human health.

This course equips students with basic population data analysis skills and concepts that can be applied to decision-making in public health and healthcare settings. Students will examine approaches for measuring population health and analyzing determinants of health and wellbeing using primary and secondary data sources.

This course introduces you to the broad discipline of health services systems with an emphasis on quality and patient safety. By the end of this course you will have a better understanding of the theory, methods, structures, and processes of health services, quality and patient safety and why the core areas of interest are so important in health care.

This seminar course will introduce M.S. and Ph.D. students to the critical role of public health in protecting, maintaining, and improving the health of the population. Specific emphasis will be directed to the "Ten Essential Functions of Public Health" through weekly lectures, readings, and writing assignments. While all five core areas of public health will be introduced.

This course will focus on the epidemiology, history, methods, and ancillary laboratory tools used in the study and control of healthcare associated adverse events, including discussions of key concepts and theory, basic types of epidemiological investigations and study designs, and distinctive problems associated with specific risk factors. Adverse events will be discussed as components of patient safety and the quality of care.

Prevention of water-related diseases by appropirate supply and sanitation practices with designs applicable to small systems and rural areas of developing nations.

This course offers a structural exposure of students to the varieties of basic and clinical science research and current issues in healthcare policy under discussion at the University Medical Center. Following weekly attendance at research seminars and clinical rounds, students will present their observations in follow-up discussion groups. May be repeated to a maximum of three credits.

Characteristics of a procedure-oriented language; high-level description of computer structure and information representation schemes; introduction to algorithm development and design. Emphasis will be placed on the programming tools used in software engineering. Tools suitable for programming development on microcomputers will be emphasized. Not open to student who have received credit for CS 121 or CS 221.

An introduction to computer-assisted problem solving for civil engineering students using a microcomputer based procedure-oriented language; a description of internal structure and representation of information; an introduction to algorithms. Emphasis will be placed on the solution of characteristic problems arising in civil engineering.
