Advancing and Professional Studies Introduction to Biomimicry

o CAPS111

This course is an introduction to the field of biomimicry.

"Biomimicry" ( from Bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. Biomimicry asks the question: What would nature do?

The goal is to create sustainable products, processes, and policies by learning from and "listening to" nature, to the wisdom held in biological and ecological systems that has been evolving and accumulating over the past 3.8 billion years.

Natural systems and organisms provide stunning examples of effective communication, resource production and storage, and energy efficient design. Animals, plants and microbes are consummate engineers; they have found what works, what is appropriate, and most importantly, what is sustainable.

Biomimicry might help create a solar cell that is inspired by a leaf with chloroplast and chlorophyll, a passive cooling system for buildings inspired by a termite mound, or find new strategies for restoring degraded ecosystems. People are nature, too. Human cultures with long term residency in particular ecosystems hold crucial knowledge for living sustainably in place.

Classics The Life and Works of Julius Caesar

o CLSICS670

Julius Caesar has been called the best-known ancient Roman. Not only was he Rome's greatest general, he has been considered among the finest Latin writers and surpassed by very few Roman orators. Yet he was a man of contradictions who aroused violently different reactions. Born into an ancient aristocratic family, he was associated from the beginning of his career with the interests of the common people. Many of his actions in his Gallic wars have been criticized for their brutality and cruelty, and he was accused of subverting the Roman state. Yet no general of statesman can be found who treated his enemies with more clemency, and every office that he held (except for the last month of his life) was properly constitutional. When he was assassinated on the famous Ides of March in 44 BC, many of the men holding those bloody knives were close friends, or former enemies whom he had pardoned and even promoted to exalted positions. This course will explore the biography and works of Julius Caesar from several different vantage points and through many different kinds of sources: his own written works; the archeological evidence of his buildings, coinage, and statues; the writings of his contemporaries and successors; the views of modern scholarship; and the poets and playwrights who have given us their own versions of Caesar.

Health Information Exchange: Management & Technology

o MSIS633

The course emphasizes the values and principles of quality healthcare via integration and access to reliable patient and transaction information.

There are substantial barriers, however, to the exchange of health information through electronic interoperability. Such an exchange would require extended technical and political processes and involve standardization and modification of current information systems. Electronic exchange of health information also raises questions about policies and procedures regarding confidentiality, security, and identity management. The success of interoperability between healthcare computer systems depends on implementation and deployment of appropriate standards, such as Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) and Health Level Seven International (HL7). As the nature of healthcare is evolving due to advances in technology, health information exchange is taking an important role to improve the quality of healthcare.
