Students who wish to undertake Honors Study must consult with an adviser and present a detailed proposal to the chair for approval by the department. Rough drafts of proposals are due on March 1 of the semester before the study is to begin. Final drafts are due on April 1. ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES 241 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, I: SELECTED TOPICS Architectural design studio that develops familiarity with basic design principles and introduces students to the analysis of building types. Topics vary each semester and may include "green" design, emergency housing, light andmovement. May be repeated for credit. This is the same course as Art 241. Eight hours of studio work. Prerequisite: Art 101, 102, 103 or 206. Enrollment limited to 12 students. J. O'Riordan

2.00 Credits
Presentations, discussions and exercises related to issues, analysis and critical evaluation of works that represent the interaction of arts and technology. Focus will be on contemporary works and senior projects. Students will develop informal and formal oral presentations, as well as digital documentation of their senior projects. Only open to seniors enrolled in the Ammerman Center's Certificate Program. Two hours credit. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in an individual study course and completion of all Center required courses. Staff

A study of the Sun, planets, and the solar neighborhood looking at their origins, properties, and behaviors. Development of the physical principles required to understand astronomical observations. Additional topics include ancient astronomy, celestial motions and properties of telescopes. Outdoor observatory work focuses on use of the telescope and making observations of the Sun, moon, and planets. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory and observatory work weekly. Enrollment limited to 18 students per section. L. Brown

3.00 Credits
A survey of stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole, their properties, behaviors and interactions. Exploration of the physical concepts needed to interpret, and the tools used to make, astronomical observations. Topics include the life and death of stars, all kinds of black holes, the search for dark matter, and the origin, evolution and possible fate of our universe. Three hours lecture weekly. Enrollment limited to 60 students. L. Brown, M.Weinstein
-
3.00 Credits
A treatment of the principles of physics and mathematics as applied to astronomical phenomena. Topics include astronomical coordinate systems, Newtonian mechanics and orbits, star properties and distance determinations, stellar structure, electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter. Three hours lecture weekly. Prerequisite: Course 105 and 110 and Physics 107 or 109. Mathematics 113 recommended. Offered every other year starting in the spring of 2008. L. Brown
-
4.00 Credits
Independent research work with a selected faculty member. Course may be taken for either 2 or 4 credits. The 2 credit option requires the student to commit to 4 to 5 hours of independent research work per week. The 4 credit option requires the student to commit to 8-10 hours of independent research work per week.

2.00 Credits
A laboratory course introducing basic observational, computing, and data analysis techniques in current use in optical astronomy. Lecture focuses on instrumentation properties and use, and methods of analyzing observations. Observatory work involves use and calibration of the 20-inch telescope and CCD camera, and performing differential CCD filter photometry on various astronomical objects. Computer work involves image calibration and the extraction of useful physical information from student obtained images. One lecture 11 2 hours; four hours computer lab and observatory work weekly. Prerequisite: Course 105 and 110 and 201. Mathematics 113 and Computer Science 110 recommended. Offered every other year starting in the spring of 2007. L. Brown

4.00 Credits
A treatment of the fundamental observations and the basic physical and mathematical laws that permit scientists to understand the birth and evolution of our universe. This course will examine how observations over the last 30 years have led to the current "standard model'' of an accelerating universwith a non-zero cosmological constant. Topics include the distance ladder, Hubble's law, dark matter, dark energy, the cosmic microwave background, space curvature, The Big Bang, inflation and the first 3 minutes of cosmic existence. Prerequisite: Astronomy 110, Physics 107 or 109,Mathematics 112. Enrollment limited to 30 students. L. Brown
