FYS 084 - Anatomy of a Few Small Machines

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

One can treat the products of technology as "black boxes"-plain in purpose but mysterious in function. A more flexible and exciting life is available to those who look on all such devices as mere extensions of their hands and minds-who believe they could design, build, modify, and repair anything they put their hands on. This course helps students do this primarily through practice. Only common sense is required, but participants must be willing to attack any aspect of science and technology. Field trips are required. Enrollment limited to 15. [W1] G. Clough.
