Courses

This course will introduce the student to the use, mechanism of action and physiological properties of major families of drugs that affect the cardiovascular system, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS). Lectures will provide an overview of nervous system / cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology that results from various diseases, disorders and injuries, the drugs used to treat these conditions and their mechanisms of action.

This course will introduce drug use, mechanism of action and physiological properties of major drug families, with a focus on specific organ systems (endocrine, gastrointestinal and renal systems). In addition, this course will also cover specific classes of drugs for cancer treatment specifically related to the organ systems covered in the course. This course is divided into three “modules”. Each module has its own exam.

Introduction to system-level software development. Topics include OS processes, network communication, file-system organization and manipulation, and script programming.

Unix architecture and internals with an emphasis on Linux, shell scripting, distributions of Linux for various computing platforms including large and desktop computers, and embedded computing devices, introduction to the C programming language, systems programming in C covering signals and process control, networking, I/O, concurrency and synchronization, memory allocation, threads, debugging, library development and usage.

Principles and techniques of systems safety analysis to assure safe operation of systems and facilities throughout the life cycle from design to disposal.

Students examine concepts, methods, and techniques involved in safety risk programs for the industrial and construction industries. Topics may include identification tools; analysis and evaluation; communication; risk analysis approach;

This course (1) introduces cyber physical, industrial control, embedded, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control systems, (2) examines common vulnerabilities and threats associated with these systems, and (3) examine techniques to defend these systems from cyber-attacks.
