BME 175:Psychology: Brain, Mind and Behavior
This course emphasizes the biological underpinnings of behavior and of mental processes. What do we know? How do we come to know? What do we want? Why do we act the way we do? In this course these fundamental questions of psychology are mainly looked at from a biological perspective that emphasizes the study of the brain and nervous systems. Historical, philosophical, and evolutionary perspectives on mental processes are considered, as well. |

MGT 718:Multivariate Analysis
Experimental design, statistical estimation, and hypothesis testing from multivariate distributions. Topics covered will include regression models, multivariate analysis of variance, canonical correlations, classification procedures, and factor analysis. Computer applications of these techniques will be examined. |

MGT 730:Design and Analysis of Experiments
This course starts with the design and analysis of one factor analysis of variance. Methods of testing specific questions using planned comparisons are stressed. Models with two or more factors are considered with detailed instruction on the analysis of interactions. Repeated-measures designs are also covered, as well as designs with random and fixed factors. |
