The course provides basic concepts of immunology and of bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal biology. It focuses on mechanisms of human immunity, immunologically mediated disease, and pathogenesis in infectious disease. The material covered includes relevant pathology associated with both immunologic and infectious diseases, and a brief summary of infectious diseases from an organ system perspective. Lecture, 20 hours per week.
Independent study for undergraduate students with an interest in a specific problem, topic, or issue in Medical Laboratory Science.
In-depth study of a current problem or issue related to the medical laboratory science profession.
This course offers students an opportunity to observe and learn in an area of clinical laboratory sciences not found in the routine laboratory. Laboratory, 35-40 hours per week.
Economic evaluation methods and applications to economic decision problems encountered in the mining industry, including the mine valuation problem.
Development of underground capital openings (shafts, chambers, tunnels, and drifts) in mines. Design and construction under normal conditions. Organizations and management of construction operations.
Study of economic and environmental factors in cleaning a specific coal, laboratory tests for process selection, laboratory testing of alternative procedures leading to design of plant. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours per week.
The geostatistics approach for estimating the spatial distribution of rock and mineral properties. Topics include treatment of the spatial distribution of ore grade as regionalized variables, covariance stationary processes, variograms, volume/variance relations, ordinary kriging, block grade distributions, and nonlinear kriging approaches.
A study of components and methods for providing protection to mine electrical systems. Review topics include power distribution arrangements, per-unit system, and symmetrical components. Course topics include sources of transients and faults, protective equipment, phase overcurrent relaying, and ground fault protection.
Procedures and methods of obtaining data and analyzing mine systems for efficient development and exploitation of a mining property. Course includes applications of operation research techniques.
