-
3.00 Credits
Organisms in relation to their environment, with a focus on interactive hands-on learning experiences that connect empirical nature with abstract thinking. Lectures, discussion and field work will help students begin to understand ecosystem ecology, plant dispersal and colonization, organisms' responses to spatial and temporal variability in their environments, plant/animal interactions. Origins and effects of invasive species and actions of bio-control agents.
-
3.00 Credits
Intersection between economic development, science and conservation in one of the world's most pristine and fragile ecosystems. Exploration of how tourism offers an alternative to unsustainable fisheries that once drove the local economy, yet has created a new set of pressures on the people and the environment. Mitigation efforts, science, and international conservation mesh with an understanding of local politics, customs, and cultures.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical approaches in environmental and social science fields, including conservation biology, ecology, geography, economics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and interdisciplinary approaches. Themes include human ecology, historical ecology, landscape ecology, environmental law and ethics, perception of risk and uncertainty, vulnerability and adaptation, and environmental valuation.
-
3.00 Credits
Environmental methods related to core programmatic themes of Urban Ecology, Global Public health, Climate and Society, Environment and the Media, Integrated Marine and Terrestrial Management, and Regulatory Regimes. The course focuses on the application of Interdisciplinary approaches and methods for addressing complex environmental problems. Students will learn to design and employ interdisciplinary approaches, using qualitative and quantitative methods and analysis, through lectures, reading assignments, discussion sessions, and assignments.
-
3.00 Credits
Approaches to studying and interpreting human behavior related to a range of decision making at the level of individual, group, and firm. Multidisciplinary theories and methods informing work in the decision sciences will be covered from fields of psychology, business, economics, political science, and anthropology.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Content varies by semester and is indicated in parentheses following course number and title in class schedule.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will provide participants with the opportunity for intensive field research geared toward an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental issues and conservation concerns.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) for high school students interested in science and technology. The course covers important thematic units of the discipline: electronics, digital design, computer programming and signal processing. Emphasis on hands-on experience in the use of laboratory instrumentation, circuit construction and computer simulation.
-
3.00 Credits
Use of engineering tools and computer techniques for problem solving, data acquisition, analysis, presentation, software design, and computer aided drafting. Development of design skills through several design and building competitions is included as well as an introduction to professional ethics, intellectual property rights, the use of MATLAB, AutoCAD, and programming in C++.
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide first-year undergraduate students with an introduction to some key electrical and computer engineering concepts and topics by discussing their roles in some of the commonly used electrical and computer engineering systems. Numerical examples, circuit simulations, and computer programming are introduced through the use of MATLAB, microcontroller programming languages, and PSpice. Hands-on experience are provided through a project where the students design, assemble, program, and test a microcontroller-based mobile robot with a variety of sensing devices. Should be taken as a freshman only; otherwise to be replaced by a technical elective.
