5.00 Credits
5 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on how to integrate knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, pathology, material properties, and orthotic principles to solve clinical problems afflicting the spine. This course offers clinically based instruction in selection, measurement, and manufacture of spinal orthotics. Students will examine, cast, and provide model patients with several devices including various lumbo-sacral orthoses and thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthoses. In addition, students will have the opportunity to fit several prefabricated spinal orthoses. The differences between taking an impression by the traditional plaster casting and Computer-Aided Design and Computer- Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods will be examined and discussed. This class will be a combined lecture lab course. 137 contact hours.

4 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on anatomy, biomechanics and prosthetic principles and materials to solve clinical problems affecting patients with upper extremity amputations. The student will learn to measure, cast, fabricate, design, and manufacture prostheses for partial hand, wrist disarticulation, transradial, elbow disarticulation, transhumeral, shoulder disarticulation, and thoraco-scapular amputation levels. The student will learn biomechanics of the socket fit and prosthetic alignment, and upper limb prosthetic control strategies. This course requires comprehensive integration of the students' knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and prosthetic principles. 92 contact hours.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program or permission of the Dean. This course focuses on how to integrate knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, pathology, material properties, upper limb orthotic components and principle, and to address clinical problems of the upper limb. Multiple orthotic systems will be reviewed. In addition to working with each other, students evaluate and work with professional patients to measure, recommend, fabricate, fit and modify upper limb orthoses. Orthoses fabricated in this course include various metal hand orthoses; thermoplastic hand orthoses; static metal wrist hand orthosis; metal wrist hand orthoses with dynamic assists; polymer upper limb orthoses; metal wrist driven flexor hinge orthoses (then converted to a cable driven). Application of technology (e.g., external power, CAD\CAM) will be incorporated, as appropriate, throughout the course, as will prefabricated alternatives to custom orthoses. 92 contact hours.

2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on the utilization of computer automated design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in orthotics and prosthetics. Students will develop the knowledge and skills needed to measure and manufacture orthoses and prostheses through the tools of CAD/CAM including computers, digitizers, scanners, lathes, and milling machines. 32 contact hours.

2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course will teach students the business development skills needed to run a practice to ensure proper patient management. The student will learn to utilize the different billing systems available for electronic billing. The student will learn ethics, professionalism and proper documentation skills to maintain an orthotic and prosthetic medical practice. 32 contact hours.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
2-4 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program or permission of the Dean. This capstone course will integrate all the information from the orthotics and prosthetics program. The student will be demonstrating competency in the six practice domains of the orthotist prosthetist. Upon completion of this course the student will be prepared to enter a residency in orthotics or prosthetics. 32 contact hours.

3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisites: (ENC 0020 and REA 0002 and MAT 0024) or EAP 1695, and MAT 0024. This course is to acquaint the student with the history and development of physical science with the integration principles and theories in the physical sciences, and with the practice of a scientific method. (This course may not be taken for credit after receiving a grade of "C" or better in any course with a prefix of CHM or PHY.) 77 contact hours.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits "G" Prerequisite: Meets Honors College entrance criteria or approval of the program director. This course is an advance-level introduction to psychology. This course will emphasize the evaluation and synthesis of psychological concepts by examining the history, scientific methodology, major theoretical schools of thought, various approaches to interpersonal functioning, and human development. The effects of ethnicity, age, race, and gender are integrated into the study of this course. This course will have a substantial writing assignment. This course partially satisfies the writing requirements as outlined in the General Education Requirements. 47 contact hours.
