Topics:
Description : Students traveled to Oman, the Jewel of Arabia, to examine the impact a single nation can have on the more widespread regional issues of terrorism, political violence, insurgency, and diplomacy. Often seen as a partner for peace and a neutral negotiator within the Middle East, Oman is the perfect place to compare the path of a country that has embraced nonviolent diplomacy with that of their neighbors. This course concentrated on all aspects of violence within the political context, from individual actions to strategic level activities and the impact within the region.

Description : Partnering with local government, advocates and clinics, students on this course had the opportunity to learn from community public health experts and support public health work in Xalapa, Mexico. The group was involved with health education, community forums and advocacy efforts. Public health concerns in this region are closely tied to poverty and social inequity. Students visited low-resource rural areas to learn creative ways in which local health educators practice public health as well as have hands-on training in community health and advocacy efforts. Students were immersed not only in the broader Mexican culture, but also spent time learning about the ancient pre-Hispanic traditions that still influence how health is understood and practiced.

Description : This collaborative program through the University of Nebraska - Lincoln allows UNO students to join the Architectural Engineering program in Italy. Students connected historical perspectives and past engineering to their current (and future) field by visiting all of the major architectural areas in Italy. Students analyzed and interpreted historical drawings (artistic and/or of machines and buildings) or building designs; learned about historical construction methods, famous artists, scientists, and engineers in history (DaVinci, Galileo, etc.) and their major contributions; and developed an understanding and appreciation for the Italian culture and gained skills as a future global leader.

Description : The research goal in terms of adapting deterrence to emerging security challenges is the examination of deterrence in a complex spectrum incorporating state and non-state actors and development of a tested and validated assessment methodology. This broad-spectrum assessment methodology facilitated systemic and rigorous identification and analysis of adversaries and their courses of action (what an adversary may do, why, and how to confirm/deny), deterrence profile, options, and influence points (what works and what to avoid). Pre-selected students were expected to perform all duties assigned and by their deadlines.
