This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of systems engineering and a systems approach to analyzing complex problems. Specific subjects covered include: logistics,reliability, safety, performance,and risk management. Open-ended problems are used and students are expected to classify, categorize, and illustrate physical and functional relationships using schematic diagramming techniques. Modeling of performance is introduced, but is covered in greater depth in the systems dynamics course to follow. Systems considered in the course include human, ecological, transportation, communication, mechanical, electrical, and mechatronic. This course utilizes a problem-based experiential teaching method with a significant field component.

For non-Psychology majors only. This course develops students abilities as consumers of psychological research. Students learn about paradigms of research and knowledge, consider key assumptions in both quantitative and qualitative research, and explore how quantitative and qualitative perspectives influence the construction of knowledge. Students apply critical thinking strategies within the context of psychological research and develop skills to evaluate claims made about psychological phenomena in the popular media and professional literature. Concepts explored include understanding and prediction, description and inference, biases in research conduct and communication, representativeness, evaluating testimonials, correlation and causation, multiple causation, operational definitions, placebo effects, experimental control, and probability. NOTE: This course is not open to students who have already earned credit for Psychology 2780, 2790, 2700. 2730 or 2750; or for those who are currently enrolled in Psychology 2700,2730, or 2750. NOTE: This course cannot be counted as one of the 14 courses required to earn a major in Psychology. 03-09-2025-04-12-2025 Web Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

This course introduces students to the science of climate change.
