This course will address the question "What is Women's and Gender Studies?" and will deepen our understanding of gender as a social factor. Students will examine the construction of identities such as gender and biological sex across nations and cultures, within academic disciplines, and in popular media. Students will also seek to understand women's issues in the U.S. and internationally, paying particular attention to how race, sexuality, class, and other factors create differences among groups. Students will take a renewed look at the world around us, examining ways in which power and privilege, societal ideas, and ignorance have contributed to what we think we know. Students will also explore ways in which we can work individually and together to promote social change in an effort to advance the equality of all people. Course Objectives (1) To understand the social construction of gender and the intersection of gender with other systems of inequality in women's lives. (2) To learn about the status of women in society and ways to improve that status through individual and collective action for social change. (3) To explore how institutions in society affect individual lives and demonstrate the ability to think critically about the role of patterns of privilege and discrimination in our own lives. (4) To improve writing and speaking skills, gain new insights, and empower self and others.

This course is an overview of contemporary feminist theories that have shaped feminist thought and actions since the mid-19th century. The readings, lectures, and assignments in this course focus on some of the main theories, methodologies, epistemologies, and social movements in the field of women's and gender studies. The class material addresses some of the main issues in feminist thought from both US-based and global perspectives. This reflects the increasing trend towards more inclusive feminisms that reflect multiple geographic and socio-economic perspectives. The seminar and discussion-based format of the course challenges students to raise questions, challenge assumptions, and seek answers about contested history and current status of feminist theory. Prerequisite: CENG 160 Course Objectives (1)Develop critical analyses of feminist theories that question hegemonic assumptions and norms in society (2) Understand the foundation and contributions of feminist theories to field of Women's and Gender Studies and connected fields of study in the humanities and social sciences. (3) Interrogate and discuss personal and political aspects of feminism and women's movement. (4) Expand speaking, writing, and other communication skills for your academic and professional development.

The study of the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies using mathematical and/or graphical analysis. Free-body diagrams are strongly emphasized. Vector methods are employed to investigate forces and moments in planar and three-dimensional problems. Pin jointed trusses and frames are analyzed using the method of joints and the method of sections. Problems involving friction and properties of area including first moment, centroid and second moment complete the course. Dual listed as MET 101. Prerequisite/Corequisite: MATH 185. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Decompose a force into components in the directions of principal axes (2) Resolve a system of forces to determine the resultant and its direction using both trigonometric and vector methods (3) Compose free body diagrams (4) Determine the moment that a force along a specific line of action would produce about an axis through the origin and normal to the plane of the force, using vectoral and trigonometric methods (5) Represent moments as vectors and determine the strength, which a known moment about one axis has about a different axis through the origin. (Ability to resolve drive shaft torque problems) (6) Determine reactions at support points of beams and trusses (7) Analyze a truss by the method of joints and method of sections (8) Analyze simple three-dimensional frames using vectors (9) Find centroid and moment of inertia of various shapes
