(Formerly ENG 1368) 3 credits, 3 hours Pre-requisite: ENG 111 or Department permission. Literature and Illness, students analyze literary works concerned with medical and psychiatric issues and probe the ethnical, social and cultural context of these issues. Students explore, orally and in writing, such issues as representations and perceptions of physicians, power dynamics in the doctor- patient relationship, and the impact of gender, race and economic status on diagnosis and treatment. To this end, students read a variety of texts including novels, memoirs, case histories, poems, essays, short stories and newspaper articles. Films and plays may also be assigned. The course culminates in the writing of a pathography or illness narrative.

(Formerly ENG 1341) 3 credits, 3 hours Pre-requisite: ENG 111 or Department permission This course will introduce students to some of the major issues that arise from the cultural, anthropological, and political aspects of language. Through assigned readings such as autobiographical excerpts, newspaper articles, and scholarly sociolinguistic texts, students will examine why they speak the way they do, what effect this has on other people, and what factors make their language what it is. The class will define and discuss such concepts as dialects, bidialectalism, bilingualism, bilingual education, and official English. Students will be asked to make connections to language issues in their native countries or geographical regions. Students will write short papers and complete at least one research project using print and online sources. Upon completion of this course, students will have gained an understanding of how language and dialects influence the ways in which people are perceived and treated by different sectors of society.

2.0 credits, 3.0 hours Pre-requisite: MATH 78 or 100 or equivalent. Open only to students who have not completed MATH 202. This course uses the same approach as Engineering Design Workshop I and provides elementary design experiences in the areas of thermodynamics and electronics. Students explore the concepts of energy and information through experiments with modern engineering test equipment. Based on these concepts, they are then encouraged to create and evaluate their own designs in a group setting. Computer skills and analytical tools are introduced as needed. Course requirements include oral and written presentations of original engineering designs. Project topics include digital logic circuits, analog information processing, calorimetry and heat conduction.
