This course considers basic approaches to intervention with children and adolescents through the lens of developmental psychopathology and evidence-based practice. Students gain an understanding of the importance of selecting interventions that are appropriate to what we know about effectiveness for specific clinical problems, the developmental level of the client, and the wider ecology of risk and protective factors that characterize children's and adolescents' lives. Major approaches to psychotherapeutic intervention with children and adolescents are reviewed. Students gain experience in the development of basic clinical skills that can be applied within a variety of clinical interventions. Important ethical issues that often emerge in work with children and adolescents are discussed. The importance of cultural and individual diversities in key areas that are often targeted by interventions with children and adolescents are considered, e.g., parenting values, beliefs and practices or family hierarchies and communication patterns. Students also are encouraged to draw on the conceptual and empirical research base (or lack thereof) that informs our understanding of the impact of social and cultural factors on therapeutic effectiveness. 06-09-2024-29-11-2024 Lecture Friday 09:30AM - 12:20PM, Memorial Hall, Room 104

Growing environmental problems created by unsustainable use of fossil resources is forcing us to move from a synthetic-based economy to a bio-based one. This introductory course will provide the fundamental skills in developing environmental technologies to enable students to pursue career opportunities in a range of industries. Looking into different resources available within the biosphere, students will learn to apply engineering knowledge for its sustainable use. Concepts of a bio-refinery will be introduced for developing fundamental understanding of integrated conversion processes (thermal, chemical and biological). Understanding the concepts of enzymatic and cellular kinetics, students will learn to design bioreactors. This course will also review the fundamental concepts of life-cycle analysis and explore the application of it to selected environmental projects.
