Courses

Occupational therapy frameworks, theory, philosophy, conceptual models, and practice models as guides to clinical reasoning; integration into clinical practice.

Explores the foundation of nursing informatics, organizational leadership, and nursing administration, related theories and sciences. Identifies nursing and healthcare data sets, classifications systems, and nomenclatures utilized in practice. Students also explore transformational leadership, emotional intelligence, strategic planning principles, shared leadership/governance, and leading and sustaining change.

An intermediate course covering the basic principles of vector mechanics and the statics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. Offered when required.

Focuses on a study of kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Addresses the concepts of work-energy and impulse-momentum using vector notation.

Emphasizes vectors, resolution and composition of forces in two and three dimensions, vector notation, free body diagrams, static equilibrium of rigid bodies, moments, couples, centroids, and moments of inertia.

Applications involving vectors; vector and additional methods for advanced electricity and magnetism; relationship and solutions of classical wave equation, heat equation, and Schrodinger equation; harmonic motion on finite or periodic lattice and in continuum; tensor and matrix notation in classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism.

Methods to solve the important equations of theoretical physics, emphasizing the effects of boundary conditions and quantization on their solutions and restricted to the essential physical symmetries associated with free space, spheres, cylinders, and rectangles; if time permits, introduction to symmetries in physics and to asymptotic methods.

This course covers the advanced concepts, techniques, and mathematical manipulations needed to prepare sophomore and junior physics majors for their upper-level physics courses. Unlike a typical upper-level math class where the emphasis is on proofs of theorems, this course is geared to understanding why the structures and techniques work and to practice using the structures/techniques in context of practical physics or engineering problems.

A detailed study of the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. Three 1-hour lectures. Offered on demand.
