3.00 Credits
Risk Communication examines the communication theories and research that underlie the study of risky behaviors and the development of effective responses to perceived risks.This course provides an understanding of how communication impacts our assessment of risk, critical thinking and policy making about risk prevention and response, and the creation of preventive programs and campaigns.Students will evaluate and explore the multidimensional processes involved in researching and responding to sustained risks or emergency situations, utilize communication theory to develop appropriate campaigns, and assess their success or failure.Topics may focus on health and environmental risks, security, or disaster response.(Prerequisites: ANY of the following: CO 201, 230, 248 or instructor approval) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on a specific context where social identities are negotiated through particular discursive practices, emphasizing the verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors that are appropriate in this context and through which people constitute and perform their identities.The course examines symbolic practices and communication norms in families, self-help groups, television talk shows, cyber communities, social movements, and genders/sexualities, using approaches such as symbolic convergence theory, social constructivism, ethnography of communication, and conversational analysis.Students may take this course up to two times with difference subtitles.(Prerequisites: CO 200 or CO 340 or instructor approval, and junior or senior status) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course allows students to thoroughly investigate communication concepts, theories, or issues presented in a previously completed communication course.Independent study does not substitute for any other required course(s) in the communication program and students' investigations must be scholarly in intent.An independent study may be taken only twice.CO 396 is offered in fall; CO 397 is offered in spring.(Prerequisites: junior or senior status and a communication faculty member's sponsorship) Three credits per semester; six-credit limit.
-
1.00 Credits
Communication internships provide students with first-hand knowledge about the field of work, allow them to experience new professional activities and relationships, help them apply conceptual knowledge and skills in communication in the work environment, and allow them to experience the problems and successes of efficiently and effectively communicating within a complex organization.An internship may not substitute for any other required course(s) in the communication program.Students may take an internship twice for credit, one or three credits per semester.CO 398 is offered in fall; CO 399 is offered in spring.(Prerequisites: 3.0 overall GPA, junior or senior status) One or three credits per semester; six-credit limit. B.S.students take the same eight required courses that the B.A.students do.In addition, they take: CS 221 Computer Organization CS 354 Theory of Programming Languages Two additional 300 level CS courses One additional course from 300 level CS courses or approved interdisciplinary electives MA 172 (MA 122 or MA 126 with permission) One science course that includes a lab
-
3.00 Credits
In this laboratory course, students use optical test equipment to get a working knowledge of various electro-optical measurement techniques.Students learn to characterize diode lasers and photo detectors, and experiment with fiber attenuation, back-scatter, bandwidth of fiber, fiber optic connections, and a variety of fiber optic splices, distribution systems, and wavelength division multiplexing.Students measure multi-mode and single mode fibers in step and graded index.They learn how to characterize both pulse distortion and bit rates.(Prerequisites: PS 16 and PS 16L) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include digital design principles; Boolean algebra; combinational logic design; sequential logic design; registers, counters; memory; multiplexers, finite state machines, radix conversion and programmable logic devices.Students learn to write, implement, and simulate elementary digital design.Three credits.
-
1.00 Credits
This lab course covers the practical aspects of digital logic design.Students design and implement logic circuits using simulators and hardware, and techniques taught in CR 245.Students use state machines to implement open-ended design problems.(Co-requisite: CR 245) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines computer architecture imple-mented using a hardware design language and program-mable logic devices.Students design, implement, and program small reduced-instruction-set-computer machines.Students understand central processing unit architecture and the VHDL language and implement and program a central processing unit using VHDL.Student knowledge of the basics culminates in being able to design and implement programmable finite-state machines.(Prerequisite: CR 245) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the theory and basic elements of fiber optic communications systems; fundamentals of transmission in optical fibers; source component operations including light-emitting diodes and solid-state lasers; and coupling element and detector devices.Students analyze modulation and demodula-tion techniques and determine overall loop performance relative to bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio.Design problems enhance student understanding.(Prerequisites: EE 231, EE 301) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course has both signal processing and object-oriented design content.It emphasizes hands-on multi-media programming, offering an overview of digital signal processing and its applications.Students build software systems that make use of sampling theory, Fourier transforms, and processing in both space and time.Students implement algorithms for elementary sound synthesis (Prerequisites: CS 232, and MA 126 or MA 172) Three credits.
