This course consists of an independent creative or research project designed by the student and superviser. The nature of the project, the schedule for accomplishment and the means of evaluation must be formalized in a learning contract prior to registration. (See “Independent Study” under “Academic Policies” section.)
Directed Research in Materials Science
The design, execution, and presentation of the results from an original laboratory research project in materials science or nanotechnology. This course may be repeated for credit. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 103 and PHYS 141 or 151, or permission of instructor.
Introduction to Materials Science
This introductory course provides the basis for combining fundamental concepts learned in general chemistry and physics. Students will investigate the relationship between a material’s nanoscale structure and its macroscale properties, including fundamental optical, electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties of metals, semiconductors, biomolecules and polymers. Prerequisites: CHEM 106 PHYS 142
Arts Administration: The Business Behind the Curtain
This course provides an overview of the industries that form the foundation and provide the delivery of the arts to the public. Topics include: Non-profit 501c3s, Grants, Boards, Artist Management, Marketing, Publicity, Fundraising, Administrative Structure, Publishing, Recording, Unions, Arts Councils, the NEA, Project Development, and Audience Engagement and Building. With special guest speakers.
Physics Research Experience & Presentation
In order to complete a physics major with a concentration in applied physics, as described in the requirements for the major, students must complete an approved research experience and present their research in public. This course is a co-requisite for the fourth credit of upper-level Directed Research in Physics (PHYS 397/497) or for other approved research experiences. It is not required when a student undertakes a St. Mary’s Project. Students will receive a grade of “Pass” or “Fail.” Requires permission of the instructor.
Inclusion in School and Community
This course will consider the perception of disability in a variety of settings. Of primary consideration is how schools and the community at large acknowledge and respond to the needs of people with disabilities so that they can be full members of the community. Additionally, the course will address how to meet the instructional, social, and emotional needs of special education students in the general education classroom including strategies for providing modifications, accommodations, and differentiated curricula. Pre-requisite: PSYC 101
Assistive Technology in School and Community
An introductory, two-credit course for future educators and others who will be working with individuals with diverse learning needs in the application of assistive technology in the general education and special education classrooms. Students will be introduced to a variety of assistive technologies, including hardware, software and mobile devices, instructional strategies, and assessment and evaluation protocols. Pre-requisite: PSYC 101
Topics in Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Students
This course will explore conceptions and implications of ‘giftedness’ in individuals in various educational contexts and beyond, including consideration of students who are ‘gifted’ and have also been diagnosed with a disorder or disability. In addition, this course will consider legal protections of this particular student population and the long-term influence of giftedness on the individual’s life. This course cannot be used to fulfill the special education pre-requisite for the MAT. Pre-requisite: PSYC 101
Behavior and Related Disorders
This course will explore three particular types of exceptional needs that influence an individual’s behavior: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Emotional/ Behavioral Disorders. In addition, this course will consider how these needs can manifest in the classroom and other learning contexts and the ways in which teachers may respond to those needs. There will be some consideration of the long-term influence of these disorders on the individual’s life. This course cannot be used to fulfill the special education pre-requisite for the MAT. Pre-requisite: PSYC 101.
Archaeological Field Study
This course will expose students to a range of archaeological field techniques ranging from Phase I survey to Phase III excavations. Students will participate in all aspects of site excavation, documentation, artifact processing and initial field cataloging. This experience will culminate in a preliminary site report that will be given to the property owner and other stakeholders. The field
program will occur either in the United States, its territories, or abroad depending on the instructor’s current research program.
