Introduction to Naval Science (2) F A general introduction to the naval profession and to concepts of sea power. The course emphasizes mission, organization, and warfare components of the Navy and Marine Corps. Included is an overview of rank structure, training and education, career patterns, naval courtesy and customs, military justice and naval terminology. | The course is designed to introduce the student to the professional competencies required to become a Naval or Marine Corps Officer. 1020. Sea Power and Maritime Affairs (3) 5 A survey of United States Naval history, with emphasis on major deployments. Included is an in depth discussion of the geopolitical theory of Alfred Thayer Mahan. The course also covers present day concerns in sea power and maritime affairs, including the economic and political issues of merchant marine commerce, the Law of the Sea, the navy and merchant marine of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and a comparison of the United States and CIS maritime strategies to include the rise and decline of the Soviet Navy. 2010. Naval Ship Systems I (Weapons) (3) F The course outlines the theory and employment of weapon systems. The student explores the processes of detection, evaluation, threat analysis, weapon selection, delivery, guidance and explosives. Fire control systems and major weapon systems are discussed, including basic capabilities and limitations. The physical aspects of radar and underwater sound are explored as well as the facets of command, control and communications as they relate to weapons systems integration. 2020. Naval Ship Systems II (Engineering) (4) S This course is a detailed study of ship's characteristics and types, including basic ship design, stability and buoyancy, damage control, and the operation and integration of major shipboard components, engineering systems, and engineering fundamentals. The course includes a study of the basic concepts of the theory and design of steam, gas turbine, diesel and nuclear propulsion systems. 2110. Evolution of Warfare (4) F MARINE OPTION COURSE. The course historically traces the development of warfare from the beginning of recorded history to the present, focusing on the impact of major military theorists, tacticians, and technological developments. The student acquires a basic knowledge of strategy, develops an understanding of military alternatives, and analyzes the impact of historical precedent on military thought. 3010. Naval Operations and Navigation I (3) F This course is an in-depth study of piloting, basic navigation, and rules of the nautical road. Piloting skills are learned through the use of charts, visual and electronic navigation aids, and the theory 1 and operation of magnetic and gyro compasses, and global positioning system satellites. Students are exposed to the celestial J coordinate system and how this information can be applied to navigation at sea. Case studies provide discussion of real world consequences of poor navigational practices. 3020. Naval Operations and Navigation II (3) S This course is a continuation of NavSci 3010. Navigation skills are enhanced by a study of maneuvering board fundamentals. Vector analysis, basic maneuvering board solutions, naval formations, visual shipboard radiotelephone procedures are studied to provide a basic foundation in shipboard operations. The courses concludes with a study of naval ship handling, watch standing fundamentals, j underway replenishment fundamentals, and command and control issues. Case studies of navigation and naval operation accidents reinforce the lessons learned and underscore the need for vigilance when operating ships at sea. 3110. Amphibious Warfare (4) S MARINE OPTION COURSE. A historical study of the developments of amphibious doctrine and the conduct of amphibious operations. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of amphibious warfare in the 20th century, especially World War II. Present day potential and limitations on amphibious operations, including the concept of rapid deployment forces. Additionally, the course explores vertical assault, readiness operations, and landing operations from the sea. 4010. Leadership and Management (3) F The course examines organizational behavior, and management and leadership principles in the context of the naval or marine corps organization. Management theory, ethics, tactical and strategic planning, decision making, motivational techniques, group dynamics and analytical skills are examined with the goal of developing effective managerial skills and leadership fundamentals. 4020. Leadership and Ethics (3) S This course is designed as the capstone course of the NROTC academic sequence. The course is an overview of the duties, responsibilities and expectations of a junior officer. Through the use of in-class discussion, panels, role playing and out-of-class projects, the course addresses personal ethics, code of conduct, military law and administrative skills required of the junior Navy or Marine Corps Officer. Continuing Education & Community Services Dr. E. Jeffery Livingston, Dean Weber State University continuing education and community services offers courses, seminars, workshops and conferences each year, working closely with the university's academic departments and colleges; with local and state government agencies; and with professional, trade, and special interest associations. The mission of continuing education is to provide learning opportunities to lifelong learners and organizations at times, locations and in formats accessible and flexible enough to satisfy their needs. Most continuing education students have work, family and other responsibilities; their convenience is our priority. Most continuing education classes are conducted once or twice a week throughout the school term, in three-hour sessions. Conferences, seminars, workshops and special programs run two to five full days, and sometimes longer. Days, nights, and weekends, continuing education's academic students are learning everything from accounting to zoology, and professional development students are acquiring marketable skills in many areas, including public service, production inventory control, and managing for diversity. Social workers, office managers, computer users, teachers, storytellers and many other groups attend conferences that feature nationally-known speakers and educators. International corporations contract with continuing education to bring their employees here for grounding in the English language and the American culture. WSU students and members of the surrounding community leave the country every term to study languages and learn to appreciate cultures in other countries. Student convenience determines the locations for continuing education classes, training, and conferences. Many are taught on the main campus in Ogden, but others are offered at the WSU-Davis Campus in Layton, and at public schools in the area. Businesses and agencies often prefer training and certification courses to take place at their work sites. Distance learning and Internet classes serve students in remote areas and those who prefer to work at their own pace. Several grateful students have said that these new opportunities are all that enables them to continue their professional growth.
