A practical understanding of how trial and appellate courts are structured and operate. Students will explore the types of documents submitted to the court, how those documents are written, and be introduced to the types of analysis essential to the legal process involved in legally preparing a case for trial or appeal.

An overview of the structure, financing, and regulation of the U.S. healthcare system. Students will explore major healthcare settings, payment systems, and the roles of government, providers, and payers in shaping access, quality, and cost. The course also examines current policy issues and the use of technology to improve healthcare delivery.

Basic principles of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and human respiration physiology applied to design of underwater habitats, submersibles and diving bells; breathing gas supply for diving systems; heat transfer for underwater systems; pressure vessel design; remotely operated vehicles; subsea flowlines and manifold systems; and design of towed and moored systems.

This course will combine various analytical underwater examinations into a holistic investigation process designed to locate and detect persons and physical evidence involved in or victims of crimes in or on the water. Emphasis is placed on the theory of technology and the scientific decision-making skills required for its optimum application. The lab requirement focuses on credentialing and practice of theoretical techniques.
