Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (STEM)

at Kaplan Group - Arizona State University - Tempe Campus USA

The BMus program in performance with a concentration in voice focuses on the study of vocal technique, literature and performance while emphasizing the skills necessary to pursue a career as a professional classical singer. The program provides extensive performance experience and opportunities to explore many different singing styles.

The BA program in religious studies with a concentration in religion, politics and global affairs considers how the study of religion expands the understanding of political culture, communal formation, governance, nationalism, statehood and citizenship in both domestic and global contexts.

Students explore the role religion has in shaping political values, social movements, civic organizations and communal norms, with particular attention on how religion impacts issues of health, the environment, migration, peace, conflict, violence and various issues of social justice. Special consideration is given to the religious intersections of nationality, ethnicity, race, gender and other vital facets of human community and identity.

The School of Arts, Media and Engineering educates the next generation of learners and empowers them with technofluency --- its development, application and implications. The School of Arts, Media and Engineering prepares students to be socially aware, critically thinking global citizens who strive to bring about positive change in a society that will be increasingly shaped by new technologies.

The BA program in digital culture equips students with the knowledge, abilities and technical skills they need for creating computational media.

Students learn to create computational media, which is computation combined with objects, sound, video, time, space, culture and bodies; breathe behavior into media, objects or systems by programming; think critically about how computation impacts lives and how culture makes a difference in how people experience computational media, a critical skill in this dynamic era.

Armed with skills and sound judgment, graduates work in cultural communication, marketing, design, social media, health, education, entertainment and creative arts, and all areas in which culture is shaped by technology and computational media. All students gain techniques to change the world and communicate using contemporary computational media, a vital power in the 21st century. Some go on to invent fresh techniques.

Digital Culture - Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance concentration

This digital culture program in interdisciplinary arts and performance is offered in partnership with the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences. The program focuses on a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach to the arts, technology and performance. It emphasizes the traditions of transdisciplinary, avant-garde and experimental arts and on contemporary art and performance. Courses include digital media arts, music and electronic sound art, performance studies, theatre and performance practice and digital graphics.

This program complements other, more specialized life sciences programs, allowing both interdisciplinary and traditional approaches. Courses include laboratory, field and theoretical work.

This MS in biology is a flexible program based around a student's individual research interests, allowing students to explore areas of biology that thrive outside of traditional boundaries. This master's program is designed to prepare students for careers in teaching and research in educational, medical, industrial and governmental institutions.

The MA in art with a concentration in art history is a comprehensive degree program designed to train students to engage with visuality in multiple ways.

A diverse curriculum fosters critical understanding of aesthetics, production, patronage and consumption of art. Nine internationally recognized faculty members offer classes covering many cultures, time periods and geographies, using multiple approaches and methodologies. The program stresses intersections between disciplines, borders, margins, points of mediation and technological developments throughout history and offers focused study in the areas of images and digital technologies, art in social and political contexts and the histories and theories of visual culture.

The MS program in computer science with a concentration in biomedical informatics is designed for graduate students who wish to perform research in such topics as genomics and computational systems biology.

The concentration is transdisciplinary in nature, providing preparation that integrates technological expertise in the information sciences, computer science, biosciences and statistics with an understanding of the clinical environment of the health care professional. The curriculum exposes computer science students to current issues in clinical practice as well as the use of information systems in health care settings.

The BA program in Asia studies offers students the opportunity for in-depth study of East Asia, South Asia or Southeast Asia through a coherent concentration of academic study across a number of disciplines. The transdisciplinary approach provides students with a variety of intellectual tools that enable them to address contemporary political, social and cultural issues in Asia and apply their knowledge in various academic and practical settings.

The BMus program in performance with a concentration in collaborative piano offers private instruction in solo and collaborative piano, faculty coaching of chamber music and art song repertoire, and ample opportunity for extensive collaborative performance experiences. Collaborative piano students regularly perform with their vocal and instrumental colleagues on concerts at ASU and throughout the valley, including concerts at the Scottsdale Center, the Kerr Cultural Center, Tempe Center for the Arts and the renowned Musical Instrument Museum.

The program focuses on the core repertoire of song, piano chamber music and selected works from opera and musical theater. Collaboration within the School of Music, Dance and Theatre involves all performance areas, including classes and opportunities with the Music Theatre and Opera program, concerts with large ensembles and choirs, duo recitals with instrumental and voice colleagues, and performances of great chamber music literature as part of the Visiting Quartet Residency program.

The BSE program in aerospace engineering provides students with an education in technological areas critical to the design and development of aerospace vehicles and systems.

The astronautics curriculum covers:

• Attitude determination and control
• Elective topics in aeronautics
• Gas dynamics
• Orbital mechanics
• Rocket propulsion
• Space environment
• Space structures
• Telecommunications.

Students in the astronautics concentration culminate their major study with a capstone design project that incorporates the multiple disciplines involved in the creation of a space-going vehicle.

The BSE program in environmental engineering educates students to become tomorrow's engineers who solve complex environmental problems and design systems at the human, urban and planetary scale.

Environmental engineers are actively involved with the following topics and activities: air quality monitoring and air pollution control technology; analysis of the fate and transport of pollutants; application of sustainable design principles; design and operation of water and wastewater treatment systems; design of hazardous waste containment systems; design of solid waste management systems; remediation of contaminated soil, sediment and water; and water quality, water conservation and water reuse.

In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental engineering challenges, the degree program incorporates courses from other programs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering including civil engineering and environmental resources management. Engineering courses build on strong foundations in chemistry, biology, geology, physics and mathematics. Courses cover fundamental engineering concepts applied to environmental processes and environmental engineering design as well as applied learning experiences including a required internship or research experience and a capstone design course.
