Presents the fundamentals of object-oriented software design and development, computational methods and sensing for engineering, and scientific and managerial applications. Covers design of classes, inheritance, graphical user interfaces, numerical methods, streams, threads, sensors, and data structures. Students use Java programming language to complete weekly software assignments. Laptop computers available on loan. Students taking a graduate version complete additional assignments.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Calculus I (GIR)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to probability and statistics with emphasis on engineering applications. Events and their probability, Total Probability and Bayes' Theorems, discrete and continuous random variables and vectors, univariate and multivariate distributions, Bernoulli Trial Sequence and Poisson point process, uncertainty propagation and conditional analysis. Second-moment representation of uncertainty and second-moment uncertainty propagation and conditional analysis. Random sampling, estimation of distribution parameters (method of moments, maximum likelihood, Bayesian estimation), and simple and multiple linear regression. Concepts illustrated with examples from various areas of engineering and everyday life.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Calculus II (GIR)

3.00 Credits
Methodologies for evaluating civil engineering projects, which typically are large-scale and long-lived, involving many economic, financial, social and environmental factors. Emphasis on dealing with uncertainty. Presents basic techniques of engineering economics, including net present value analysis, life-cycle costing, benefit-cost analysis, and other approaches to project evaluation. Examples drawn from both contemporary and historical projects in various fields, including transportation systems, urban development, energy and environmental projects, water resource management, telecommunications systems, and other elements of the public and private projects and programs.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
2.00 Credits
Synthesizes prior design education through a semester long design project, concurrent smaller projects, lectures and related assignments. Students who have specialized in structural, geotechnical, engineering systems, and environmental areas form mixed teams to work on the projects. For the semester long project, which has to be planned and designed for a specific location, students demonstrate creativity in applying theories and methodologies from their design and analysis subjects while considering the project's technical, environmental, and social feasibility. Parallel to this design project are smaller projects involving actual building. Lectures on a variety of civil and environmental engineering projects, engineering practice and ethics, as well as field trips, are also part of the subject. Instruction and practice in oral and written communication are an integral part, culminating in the completion of the design portfolio.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Design, construction, and testing of field robotic systems, through team projects with each student responsible for a specific subsystem. Projects focus on electronics, instrumentation, and machine elements. Design for operation in uncertain conditions is a focus point, with ocean waves and marine structures as a central theme. Basic statistics, linear systems, Fourier transforms, random processes, spectra and extreme events with applications in design. Lectures on ethics in engineering practice included. Enrollment may be limited due to laboratory capacity.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.003; Coreq: 2.005 or 2.016; 2.671
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an opportunity to pursue issues related to the Earth System problem studied during the Fall term Terrascope subject, 12.000. Student teams conceptualize, design and prototype devices intended to address the Earth System problem; they also create museum exhibits that communicate the context and proposed solutions to the problem. Teams develop a design concept with researchers at MIT and professionals from local museums, and display their exhibits to the MIT community. The Terrascope field trip provides first-hand experience and shapes the final designs. Limited to Terrascope students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 12.000
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of ecology, considering Earth as an integrated dynamic system. Coevolution of the biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and oceans. Introduction to biological energy transfer and thermodynamics. The Earth's energy budget. Photosynthesis and respiration. The hydrologic, carbon and nitrogen cycles. Flow of energy and materials through ecosystems, regulation of the distribution and abundance of organisms, structure and function of ecosystems. Metabolic diversity; productivity. Trophic dynamics; models of population growth, competition, mutualism and predation. Instruction and practice in oral and written communication provided. 7.012-7.014 recommended.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Review of physical, chemical, ecological, and economic principles used to examine interactions between humans and the natural environment. Applications of mass balance concepts in ecology, chemical kinetics, and hydrology; energy balance concepts in building design, ecology, and climate change; economic and life-cycle concepts in resource evaluation and engineering design. Uses numerical models to integrate concepts and to assess environmental impacts of human activities. Problem sets involve development of MATLAB models for particular engineering applications. Some experience with computer programming is helpful but not essential.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Physics I (GIR); Coreq: 18.03 or permission of instructor
