Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction Biological - Air Force Institute of Technology - Graduate School of Engineering & Management

Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction Biological from Air Force Institute of Technology - Graduate School of Engineering & Management is a Campus Master Military Technologies degree that prepares you for a Military career. Developing a student that is an expert at the postgraduate level in all three areas of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons is not feasible. No student will have the necessary prerequisites to successfully take sufficiently advanced courses in all three fundamental areas. Instead, the approach of this program is two-fold. One is to develop a graduate who has developed a basic knowledge and comprehension level (as in Bloom's hierarchy of learning) understanding of each area. The second is to develop a graduate who is an expert in a specific area of WMD technology. They will demonstrate the full spectrum of cognitive learning of application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation through a Master's research project. The program is conducted over 6 academic quarters. All students will take a series of broadening courses designed to develop a broad understanding of combating weapons of mass destruction. These will primarily be taken in the first quarter of the program. This first quarter is the same as the AFIT Graduate Certificate program in Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction. The certificate program consists of the following courses: * NENG 597 Nuclear Weapon Technology * CHEM 597 Chemical Weapon Technology * BIOL 597 Biological Weapon Technology * CWMD 597 Combating WMD Engineering Practicum In quarters 2-4, students will concentrate in a specialty area, nuclear. Students will take a three course sequence focusing appropriately towards a research topic in that specific area. Their progress will be mentored by a faculty member with specific expertise in that specific area. Students choose 3 of the 4 offerings in, nuclear, chemical or biological . Nuclear: * NENG 650 Nuclear Instrumentation * NENG 605 Nuclear Explosives * NENG 630 Radiation Health Physics * NENG 681 Nuclear Chemical Engineering Chemical: * CHEM 590 Environmental Chemistry * ENVR 643 Environmental Transport Processes * EVSC 560 Environmental Monitoring * CHEM 685 Environmental Organic Chemistry Biological: * ENVR 625 Environmental Microbiology * XXXX NNN Biotechnology * NENG 630 Radiation Health Physics * XXXX NNN Biotechnology II Additionally, students will take a three course sequence of courses with a professional focus. These courses will have a management, business, leadership or organizational flavor. Example sequences can focus on any of: * Applied Decision Analysis * Crisis Management * Leadership and Management * Organizational Management View more details on Air Force Institute of Technology - Graduate School of Engineering & Management .
