Students in the honors program in civil engineering complete a project under the direction of a faculty sponsor resulting in a written thesis which must be accepted by the sponsor by the end of the second semester, senior year. Four credits total during senior year; 3 of which may be used to fulfill a CEE non-design elective.

How does our culture relate to and talk about people who use drugs? Discussions of the "opioid epidemic" often rely on models of addiction - the "moral model," "disease model," and "psychosocial model" - that emerge from a view of individuals as self-contained, without taking social contexts into account. As a result, people who use drugs - especially those who inject drugs - are stigmatized as morally bankrupt, disease-ridden, or psychosocially maladjusted individuals. This course will explore how stigma functions as a byproduct of a system of social relations in which various forms of inequality are reproduced through the discourses around drugs. Through readings, discussions, and assignments, we will pull back the veil on language and social relationships to better understand how we think about ourselves, our social institutions, and what we are capable of doing about substance misuse.

This course is designed to provide undergraduate students with a culminating learning experience in their Senior year. The course focuses on decision making in relation to how bias and noise can lead to errors in decision making, ethical principles in healthcare emphasizing principles of making ethical arguments, and teaching students how to write peer review critiques of articles in CSD. The class will explore how to identify sources of error, how to measure them, and how to reduce them through systematic audits of noise and bias. The class will include case studies and examples from CSD (both audiology and speech-language pathology). Students will engage in reading peer reviewed articles from CSD and ethical decision making. Students are expected to engage in classroom discussion and be involved in formal writing on scholarly topics covered in the course. This information is intended to provide you with advanced knowledge of decision making, ethics, and evidence-based practice in CSD to prepare you for a career as an Audiologist or a Speech-Language Pathologist. It is designed to provide foundational information to prepare students for graduate school or other healthcare related activities. The course format will include lectures, small-group activities, quizzes, and weekly writing assignments. Students completing this course will satisfy the writing intensive within major requirement. The writing assignments will receive feedback and students are required to revise each paper accordingly in order to create a final portfolio that includes an introduction, the original paper and its revision, and a conclusion.
