2003-2004 annual report of the College of Human Ecology.


Design and Environmental Analysis

New courses in the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis (DEA) that address the broad themes of the environment and health and well-being (Environments and Health, DEA 661 and Poverty over the Life Course and Public Policy, DEA 691) were introduced into the curriculum. The long-term commitment to a service-learning model continues to grow, extending Cornell expertise into the community. This benefits both the community and our students, who have the opportunity to explore and apply concepts, skills, and knowledge introduced in the classroom to solving real-world problems.

Healthy Indoor Air for America's Homes is a national extension program funded through a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Its goals are to educate consumers about sources, health risks, and control measures related to common residential indoor-air problems and to help consumers reduce their health risks from these problems. The project is being implemented in most states through the network of more than 3,000 county Cooperative Extension Service Cooperative Extension Service, in the United States, publicly supported, informal adult education and development organization. Established in 1914 by the Smith-Lever Act, it constitutes one of the largest adult education programs in the world and consists of three  offices.

Human Development

The undergraduate curriculum in Human Development (HD) provides a comprehensive education in biological, psychological, social, and cultural development from conception to old age, focusing on the processes and mechanisms of growth and change over the life course. This major is an excellent foundation for many careers, such as medicine, clinical psychology, the mental-health professions, law, business, and education. The flexibility of the HD major allows students to focus on a selected area of interest as well as to pursue classes, research, and field experiences that are required for admission to professional programs and careers. Students take part in field placements, internships, independent studies, teaching assistantships, and faculty research that allows development of problem-solving, writing, and critical-thinking skills. Concentrations are offered in cognitive development; biology and human development; social and personality development; and life course, social contexts, and social policy.

Although genomics traditionally has not been a major focus of HD, during the last several years the department has been exploring the possibility that the future advancing edge Ad`van´cing edge

1. (Aëronautics) The front edge (in direction of motion) of a supporting surface; - contr. with following edge, which is the rear edge.
 in its field might well reside in part within the biological and life sciences. To enhance this exploration, the department made several steps toward better integrating human development with the life sciences. New courses on the human brain and mind have been developed. Undergraduate field-study internships are organized to deliver education programming on topics related to brain science and the brain and behavior to local middle and high schools. Research continues in areas of the neurobiology Neurobiology

HD faculty members take active roles in the university's social-science initiative, participating in the provost's Social Science Advisory Council and the Institute for the Social Sciences. The department has also initiated a self study to identify concrete steps to be taken to raise the department to the top rank among developmental programs. Departmental efforts include the Cornell Institute for Research on Children (CIRC): Creating and Disseminating Developmental Science to Benefit Children, Science, and Society, which is a five-year, multistate, multischool study of the science-education program funded by the National Science Foundation.

Nutritional Sciences

The Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS (Domain Name System) A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when a Web site address is given to the DNS either by typing a URL in a browser or behind the ) works to promote health and well-being and is organized around three overlapping topics: nutritional biochemistry biochemistry, science concerned chiefly with the chemistry of biological processes; it attempts to utilize the tools and concepts of chemistry, particularly organic and physical chemistry, for elucidation of the living system. ; human metabolism; and community and population nutrition. Future development of scholarship will be in nutritional genomics Nutritional genomics is a science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. It can be divided into two disciplines:
  • Nutrigenomics: studies the effect of nutrients on health through altering genome, proteome, metabolome and the resulting changes

Health disparities (also called health inequalities in some countries) refer to gaps in the quality of health and health care across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
, and metabolism. DNS faculty members are participating fully in advancing the university goals in genomics, with seven members currently having active research in nutritional genomics. Others are orienting their research in this direction, and two open faculty searches are in support of this initiative. In addition, DNS is participating in the work set out by the Social Science Task Force with international and domestic contributions.

Extension faculty members are leading efforts for a coherent, institution-wide response to the obesity epidemic. New faculty programming and applied research efforts are converging on obesity prevention. This includes a focus in Cornell Nutrition Works on building capacity to prevent obesity among nutrition and health professionals, applied research on environmental approaches to obesity prevention in the Program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors, and applied research on community capacity building to prevent excess weight gain in pregnant women. Connections between the food system and consumers have been strengthened by the Farm to School and Farmer's Market Nutrition Programs.

Policy Analysis and Management

The Department of Policy Analysis and Management was formed with the mission to achieve excellence in research, teaching, and extension/outreach in three areas of competence--family/social welfare, health, and consumer policy. The research profile of this unit continues to grow, with the faculty publishing in major journals in their fields as well as in multidisciplinary journals, with increased recognition of their scholarship. Research is integrated into both teaching and extension/outreach programming.

Research on issues related to obesity, employment, and disability are funded from a variety of external sources. Smoking cessation smoking cessation Public health Temporary or permanent halting of habitual cigarette smoking; withdrawal therapies–eg, hypnosis, psychotherapy, group counseling, exposing smokers to Pts with terminal lung CA and nicotine chewing gum are often ineffective.  and issues surrounding alcohol taxes and prices are topics of continuing research. Other faculty members conduct research in parenting, child care quality indicators, and child care choice behavior of consumers as well as on child support, child welfare, and the effects of welfare reform. The Merck Company Foundation has provided funding for a program on pharmaceutical policy issues, and the Economic Research Initiative on the Uninsured has funded investigation of the relationship between insurance coverage and macro-employment measures. Faculty members participate with other leading social scientists at Cornell who are shaping the social science agenda on campus. Health promotion is focal area for research in the department and links efforts in health economics and administration.

As part of the goal to maintain teaching and advising quality, the department set several priorities including: balancing the number of courses in each concentration area across semesters; offering at least two courses in each concentration area each semester se·mes·ter

Raw cotton is composed of 91% pure cellulose; other important natural sources are flax, hemp, jute, straw, and wood. . Various bioactive compounds are being included in the spinning dopes, and their activity in the spun fibers is under investigation. Multidisciplinary research integrates technology and design, investigating sizing and fit of apparel. In addition, body scan research addresses the development of mathematical models to help apparel firms improve their existing sizing systems to better fit their target market. The Body Scan Research Group has developed a new interactive web site--www.explore.cornell.edu/bodyscanner. Research in fashion consumption considers how high-fashion apparel might affect the design of low-fashion apparel and non-fashion products. Components of design and strategy necessary for particular apparel items to achieve a status of desire in the mind of the consumer are explored.
