Courses

Students will be introduced to the analysis of indeterminate structures using classical and matrix methods. Students will also be introduced to advanced structural modeling techniques using state-of-the-art software.

Analysis of continuous beams and frames by slope- deflection method. Analysis of beams, trusses, grids, and frames by direct stiffness method. Buckling of planar frames. Use of structural analysis software. May count either CIVL 5670 or CIVL 6670/CIVL 6676.

Analysis of continuous beams and frames by slope- deflection method. Analysis of beams, trusses, grids, and frames by direct stiffness method. Buckling of planar frames. Use of structural analysis software. May count either CIVL 5650 or CIVL 6650/CIVL 6656.

Provides the basic theoretical background necessary for the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to research problems including model specification, identication, path analysis, estimation, testing fit, respecification, confirmatory factor analysis the interpretation of SEM results.

Beams, columns, tension members, and connections; current research.

Beams, columns, tension members, and connections; current research.

Advanced studies of fundamental principles informing research- based literacy instructional methods and assessments, to support the literacy development of early childhood and elementary education learners experiencing difficulty with reading. Instruction will emphasize exploration of the literacy needs of students whose native language is not English, students with learning disabilities, and other diverse learners.

Advanced studies of research-based formative and summative assessments in the early childhood and elementary environments. In this course, the advanced candidate will demonstrate the following objectives through online submissions: 1) Identify and explain various types of measurement instruments and strategies according to their recommended use and skills measured. 2) Discuss the role of formative and summative assessment across the K-6 curriculum.

Advanced independent study in an area within the field of counseling. Selected in-depth topic for study is chosen in consultation with the professor supervising the study. May be taught concurrently with ECED 6902 or ECED 6952.

A study of a problem or topic using research techniques or a guided program of readings. Preparation of a scholarly paper is required and may involve an oral defense. A specialized study may be substituted for only one required course or elective in a student's program. Approval by the student's adviser, the course instructor, and department chair is required.
