This course is designed to enable workers to meet the training requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as specified by 49 CFR 172 Subpart H; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as specified by 10 CFR 71.5; and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Additional state and local regulations may apply to the transportation of radioactive material/hazardous waste. This course will not focus on those requirements because they may differ from state to state and from city to city; however, guidance will be provided to students in terms of how to investigate the regulations that are specific to their needs in this area. This course focuses on the specific regulations that need to be followed when shipping, packaging, and transporting radioactive materials. Prerequisite: RPT-270: Introduction to Nuclear Engineering Technology and Radiation Health Physics.

This course is an introduction to theory, calculation, and application of radiation shielding and its associated external radiation dosimetry. The course begins with a review of fundamental radiological terms, nuclear structure, and decay mechanisms leading to the study of interactions of ionizing radiations and matter. The focus of the course will be on beta, gamma, and neutron radiations. Each will be examined on the basis of the mechanisms by which they deliver dose to matter, and the means by which such exposures can be minimized or precluded, including the part that exposure geometry, radiation energy, and quantity of activity play in the final determination of dose.

Radiation Protection/Health Physics Assessment/Career Planning is an in-depth, student-centered course that requires the integration of research in current radiation protection/health physics employment. It includes: a radiation protection/health physics technology self-assessment; practical career planning; development of a comprehensive curriculum vitae (CV); interviewing strategies; and application of advanced mathematics applications to radiation protection/health physics technology situations. Students will participate in career-focused activities that include building a professional CV and demonstration of successful interviewing techniques. The knowledge and skills acquired in this course are directly applicable to students who are seeking a job, a promotion, or movement to a new skill area.

4.00 Credits
Radiation Protection/Health Physics Capstone is an in-depth, student-centered activity that requires the integration of theory and practical experience in the field of radiation protection/health physics technology. Students will apply the skills and techniques they have learned to a specific project. The project will identify a real-world radiation protection/health physics technical problem, issue, event, developing technology, or case study. Students will conduct research by exploring, evaluating, and formulating a solution in a final paper. On successful completion of the course, students will demonstrate having met the learning outcomes of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Nuclear Engineering Technology/Radiation Protection. Prerequisite: RPT-490: Radiation Protection/Health Physics Assessment/Career Planning.

3.00 Credits
This course examines art and morality through the unique perspective that ""reading"" artifacts can give to a true understanding of the development of communities in time. The course explores how art gives us access to commune with those here before us as well as those who exist with us, thus enhancing our senses of community and communications. Through this phenomenological approach, the course raises questions about the nature of what we create as both an expression of who we are and an influence that transforms us as new values (including morals and ethics) and realms of experience are created. The course defines ""culture"" as the interactive growth that brings out and develops uniquely human possibilities and develops sensitivity to the development of ideas and institutions as creative projects. Students will explore selected cultures that coexist with us in time as well as those that may have existed before us and are no more. The course emphasizes how this approach allows us to nurture our own possibilities out of the limitless depths of imagination and expressions as well as the magic power of art to produce understanding. Students will be prepared to incorporate their own imaginative abilities in the creation of individualized projects.

This course explores the character and quality of human discourse as it tries to describe what it means to be human in the great dialogues between faith and reason. This course is designed to help overcome perceptual obstacles to cross-cultural understanding through comparing and contrasting philosophical, scientific, and religious texts of Eastern, Western, and Native American cultures. Thus, students will gain a greater sense of being part of a larger global community while attaining a better understanding of their own cultural influences. Students will identify examples and case studies in their professional lives that relate to issues arising from the discussions of the texts and will use the lessons of human discourse as a platform to broaden their vision and create practical applications in the workplace and community. During this process of exploration, students will be expected to articulate their own values and beliefs with an understanding of how these may be influenced by their own cultural biases and perceptions.

3.00 Credits
In this interdisciplinary course, students explore ""human nature"" using theories and tools from biology and from many of the social sciences, including archeology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. Students will learn the theories by reading both classic texts and recent scholarly works, including a novel about human evolution set in the Ice Age, and by watching videos, visiting websites, and writing several short papers. Ultimately, students will be asked to formulate their own understanding of ""human nature"" and to apply their insights to social situations at home, school, work, or the wider community.

3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the academic discipline and principles of sociology. The systematic investigation of this course takes an in-depth look at culture, socialization, social institutions, social inequality, and social change. Specific topics include the current status of minorities, the role of religion in American society, comparisons of violent crime rates worldwide, and the global impact of the rise in immigration. The major goal of this course is to provide students with new lenses through which to view both society and one's self. To accomplish this, students must develop an understanding of the meaning of culture, social systems, social stratifications, social institutions, and societal change.

3.00 Credits
Marriage and the Family is an introductory course in the sociology of the family. The course takes an in-depth look at the history of the family, mate selection, love, social class characteristics and marriage, marital crises, alternative marriage forms, and human sexuality. An important thread throughout the course is the diversity expressed in modern marriage and family experiences. From this smorgasbord of possibilities students may choose or reject components with respect to their own relationships. Keep in mind, however, that these alternatives are working satisfactorily for various groups of people around the world.

This course provides an analysis of the environmental and internal factors that influence or determine delinquent behavior. Various biosocial, psychological, and sociological theories are presented to help explain the actions of individual juvenile offenders. The prevention and treatment of delinquent behavior is examined by focusing on the roles of parents/guardians, school, church, police, business community, community agencies, and the juvenile justice and correctional system.
