TM 523 Industrial Safety Applications (3 cr)

Application of engineering science to safety problems; static and dynamic forces on structures, pressure systems; effects of temperature, chemicals, fatigue, and other agencies on strength of materials; use of vectors in engineering analysis.

TM 525 Emergency Management and Planning (3 cr)

A study of the basic principles in emergency management and planning in the United States. This course is not directed at any particular type of hazard, but the processes and considerations of planning for all-hazards along with the basics of generic protective actions and the planning concepts supporting effective protective action recommendations.

TM 526 Community Emergency Planning (3 cr)

A study of the theory and practice of community emergency planning. The Citizen Corps, Principles of Emergency Planning, and CERT programs will be studied. Cases are studied in order to assist students in understanding the management and leadership complexity associated with modern emergencies and disasters. Recommended Preparation: TM 525.
