This language course explores the fundamentals of Middle Egyptian, the classical stage of Egyptian hieroglyphs used throughout much of ancient Egyptian history. Lessons in the Egyptian writing system, grammar, and culture, with weekly vocabulary and exercises, will introduce the language and verbal system in a systematic fashion. By the end of the semester, students may begin to read selections from Egyptian classic stories and historical texts. Visits to the Semitic Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in order to read ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions on the original monuments, may also be included.

4.00 Credits
Continues Middle Egyptian I from the fall semester. Students will complete the introductory grammar book lessons, and move on to read a selection of basic stories, historical and biographical inscriptions, in the original hieroglyphs. Visits to the Egyptian galleries of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in order to read some of the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions on the original monuments, may also be included.

4.00 Credits
An integrative introduction to engineering sciences. Combines classroom discussion with activity-based learning, and emphasizes concepts that span multiple disciplines. Covers topics having direct societal impact, and presents them in historical context. Involves qualitative and quantitative analysis, mathematical modeling, and design. Introduces common engineering software and hardware tools.
-
4.00 Credits
Individual design projects selected to provide experience in the processes and practice of engineering design. Requires proficiency in electronic circuit construction as well as mechanical materials fabrication techniques.

4.00 Credits
Introduces the fundamental statistical and mapping tools needed for analysis of environmental systems. Topics will be linked by environmental and social themes and will include GIS concepts; data models; spatial statistics; density mapping; buffer zone analysis; surface estimation; map algebra; suitability modeling. Students will acquire technical skills in both mapping and spatial analysis. Software packages used will include ArcGis. There will be guest lectures by researchers and practitioners who use GIS for spatial analysis.

4.00 Credits
Activity-based course for beginning/intermediate science and engineering undergraduates. Combines readings and discussions on techniques for learning science and engineering design with implementation in an 8th grade science class in Cambridge. Students work directly with the 8th graders to guide how they learn. Students apply what they discover to improve their own understanding of college-level science and engineering.
-
4.00 Credits
A first course in the mechanical sciences which introduces elements of continuum mechanics and explains how materials and structures stretch, bend, twist, shake, buckle, and break. Stress-strain behavior of materials. Statically determinate and indeterminate structures. Stress and strain, equations of motion or equilibrium, strain-displacement relations. Torsion. Beam theory with applications to beam deflections, vibrations, and buckling. Three laboratory sessions required.
