Environmental Chemistry
ENVE 615 Environmental Chemistry - Will cover fundamental principles governing the various aspects of chemistry relevant to the environment. The chemistry of waste treatment, cyclical processes and other applications will be evaluated. A lab component will be added to this course for Fall 2003. The course will be offered on Tuesdays from 6:30-9:00 pm in South Charleston. Dr. Richard McCormick is teaching the course and can be contacted at (304) 696-6049; mccormickr@marshall.edu.
Environmental Engineering Design
ENVE 681 Environmental Engineering Design - will cover principles of engineering design of water and wastewater treatment systems and processes, including physical, chemical and biological treatment and handling of treatment residuals. Includes coverage of relevant environmental standards and water quality concepts, and will include all environmental media, including water, air, soils and waste. The course is offered in Huntington on Wednesdays from 4:00-6:20 pm. Dr. Scott Simonton is the instructor and he can be reached at (304) 746-2045; simonton@marshall.edu.
Information Systems
IS 615 Simulation - This is an interdisciplinary course, and subject to advisor approval could be acceptable as an elective in the various degree programs in CITE. Discrete-event simulation is applied in the design, evaluation, and improvement of processes across a wide range of enterprises, including business, manufacturing, health care, airline operations, the military, and government. The course provides an introduction to discrete-event computer modeling and simulation, including a review of probability distributions, model verification and validation, input data collection, and output analysis. Modern simulation languages and software will be studied, and applications will be developed with the Windows-based Arena simulation language. Prerequisites are programming capability and quantitative skills. The course is offered on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:20 pm and is being taught by Dr. James Hooper. He can be reached at (304) 696-6042; hooper@marshall.edu.
IS 635 Computer Graphics - This course is offered for the first time this Fall (’03). The course provides the student with a practical knowledge and experience in the development of Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI), event driven systems, and graphics hardware/software systems. The course is being taught in taught in Huntington on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. Please contact your advisor if you have questions concerning this course.
IS 651 Computer Security - is offered for the first time this Fall (’03). The course covers the elements of computer and network security, including computer attacks, preventive methods, and forensics. Concepts, methods, and tools learned from the course will be applied in a class project. The course is offered in Huntington on Monday 4:00 – 6:20. Please contact your advisor if you have questions concerning this course.
Engineering
ENGR 610 Applied Statistics - An applications-oriented approach to basic statistical concepts and techniques. The objective is to provide students with a foundational understanding that can be used to enhance the decision making process associated with engineering applications. Emphasis is placed on data interpretation and presentation using commonly available computer software such as MS Excel. The course is being offered through the videolink on Mondays from 4:00-6:20 pm. Dr. Bill Pierson is the instructor and he can be reached at (304) 696-2695; pierson@marshall.edu.
Please contact Dr. Bill Crockett, Distinguished Professor of Engineering, regarding the four courses described below. He can be reached at (304) 746-2040; bcrockett@marshall.edu.
ENGR 620 Computer Applications - The course emphasizes the use of Excel and Matlab to solve numerical engineering problems.
