This course provides an overview of existing psychological and epidemiological findings on the relationship between behavior and disease. The course explores how behavior, emotion and cognition can influence disease processes and examines the impact of stress and perceived control of one’s destiny on coronary, immune and infectious diseases and symptoms. The biological processes of several relevant chronic illnesses are covered as well as related racial and social economic health disparities. Templates for understanding and treating chronic illness including social support, referral and interventions for optimal physical and mental health are discussed. The interdisciplinary theme of this course will provide an overview of extant literature on theories of health psychology within the context of critical race theory, epidemiology, research methods, philosophy of science, biological anthropology, sociology, as well as applied health/medical fields for an enriched understanding of the biopsychosocial approach to health and illness. Lectures and in-class activities as well as films, guest lecturers, and interactive computer programs make up this textbook-free course with required readings made available via CityTech’s OpenLab and Open Educational Resources (OER).

In this course, students develop a fundamental and practical understanding of the Web based database domain particularly NoSQL databases. Traditional relational database models are reviewed and NoSQL database models such as key-value, document, columnar and graph are analyzed, employed and practiced. Query and retrieval techniques used for Web data in connection with NoSQL database models are discussed, compared and utilized. NoSQL databases are examined and utilized. In addition, the impact of the acquisition and use of big data and NoSQL databases is discussed in terms of ethical and moral implications.

As one of the standard upper-level physics courses required by any BS programs in Physics, PHYS 3200 Electricity, and Magnetism is devoted to a detailed study of the laws of electricity and magnetism, by means of the appropriate mathematical tools acquired by the students in the Calculus sequence. Aside from providing students with the opportunity of applying and testing their mathematical and computational skills, this course provides a detailed description of the fundamental laws which are the basis of innumerable technological applications.
The topics discussed in this course include electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrostatics and magnetostatics in matter, Maxwell’s equations, electromagnetic forces.

ENT 1201 is an introduction to Electrical Theory supported on practical examples and emphasizing the safe use of electricity in entertainment and media. This course also covers a quick overview of the most basic devices that manipulate and transform electricity in modern life like Generators, Transformers, Motors, etc. Electrical fundamentals such as voltage, current, power and resistance are introduced. Ohm’s law and the Power law are covered, using practical examples from the field. Simple electrical circuits, including series and parallel, are introduced. Specific methods of power generation and distribution are covered.

The course, in addition to the theoretical texts assigned for reading and analysis, incorporates journalistic accounts of social issues, autobiographies, memoirs, oral histories and materials like photographs and film, in order to encourage students to experiment with original sociological research. Learning, also, to apply sociological language and concepts to events and situations we encounter daily, like ‘sociological location’ (identities like race, gender and class) and ‘social institutions’ (organized entities that structure society, like education and religion) is of key importance. By the end of the course, students should be well on their way to developing their own 'sociological imagination.’

This course will look at a variety of sociological writings (not necessarily written by professional sociologists) addressed to some characteristically modern phenomen—individualism, capitalism, democracy, etc.—in order to gain a clearer understanding of these often confusing elements of our modern world; to the extent that we are able to win such a clearer understanding, we shall also learn something about the unique contributions that sociology can make to such attempts. We’ll read some original texts from founding figures in the discipline—those who gave it its orienting research questions, theoretical starting-points, and distinctive methodologies. We’ll also read work by their contemporary followers in order to see whether the classical texts and approaches can still speak to our present-day condition. In the last part of the course, we’ll look at a couple of topics of general and very current interest—sex and gender, race and ethnicity, human nature—and try to see how sociologists tend to differ in their approaches to these topics from other kinds of students of the human condition.
