CLASS HOURS: 3, CREDIT: 3 Prerequisites: ET 400, ET 400L, MTH 201 Corequisite: ET 460L A study of automation in power plants, engineering processes, and manufacturing processes leading to an understanding of modern control systems. Principles of analog and digital control systems are studied, as well as measurement methods and final control valves and actuators. PID (proportional plus integral plus derivative) control applications and programmable logic controllers are also studied. Modeling, measurement and control of mechanical, thermal, fluid, and electrical systems are investigated.

CLASS HOURS: 2, CREDIT: 2 Prerequisites: ET 340, ET 340L, ET 344 Corequisite: ET 490L Capstone course in engineering technology. Engines in labs, simulators, and operating power plants are used to explore the application of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and controls to operating systems. Students are required to develop and carry out analytical procedures to evaluate the effects of changing parameters on operating power plants.

CLASS HOURS: 3; CREDIT: 3 Prerequisite: None This course is an introduction to the principal concepts, theories, and issues in international relations. While frequent use will be made of current and historical events in the lectures and readings, the main focus of the course is to provide students with the tools and analytical framework with which to analyze the rapidly changing international arena. The class is divided into four parts. Part I will address traditional approaches to the study of international relations, focusing on the system, state, and individual levels of analysis. Part II will present an overview of economic globalization, and the impact thishas had on issues such as the following: a) the political and security behavior of states, b) the future of the state as an economic entity, and c) the distribution of wealth between North and South. Part III will address traditional security concerns of states, from both the "realist" and "idealist" perspectives, as well as from an ethical point of view. Part IV will focus on global environmental concerns, including (but not limited to) global warming, ocean and fisheries degradation, and fresh water access. Throughout, we will view economic, security and environmental concerns in an interdependent contex

CLASS HOURS: 3; CREDIT: 3 Prerequisite: None This course addresses the economic, security, and environmental aspects of the world's oceans within the framework of the International Relations discipline. It will focus on the international dimensions of a global resource, whose components are increasingly becoming scarce, and on the means-both cooperative and conflictual-by which these resources have been, and are likely to be, managed. The course is divided into three parts: I, Oceans and Economic Resources; II, Oceans and Conflict; and III, Oceans and the Environment. Parts II and III, which highlight non-violent means for resolving economic, security, and environmental disputes, will include international, regional, and non-governmental mechanisms of conflict management. This approach will include, but will not be limited to, the Law of the Sea Convention, the International Maritime Organization, and regional bi- and multi-lateral agreements

CLASS HOURS: 3; CREDIT: 3 Prerequisite: None The course is an overview of theories and issues in contemporary international political economy. Throughout the course, we will be concerned with the general question of how the global economic system bears on the power of the state, along with the strategies states develop to deal with an international economy increasingly beyond their individual control. The course is divided into several parts. The first examines the development of the international economic system since the Great Depression, as well as the theories claiming to account for this development. The second part addresses current issues and challenges dealing with the process of globalization, including but not limited to the following: 1) global economic integration and new patterns of economic interaction, including the region state, the virtual state, and the world city; and 2) the globalization and computerization of financial markets. Part III examines regional issues in the context of globalization: specifically, the challenges the Euro, Russia, China, and Third World nations present to the existing global order. Additionally, we will examine environmental degradation in the context of globalization. The course ends with a discussion of the future of capitalism.

CLASS HOURS: 3; CREDIT: 3 Prerequisite: None This course is an introduction to the public policy process in the United States. An important part of the course involves developing an understanding of what "political" and "public policy" mean. We will consider why some problems reach the public agenda, why some solutions are adopted and others rejected, and why some policies appear to succeed while others appear to fail. We will primarily examine policy making at the national level, but we will also look at examples at the international, state, and local level as the need arises during class.
