2.00 Credits
Intuition-based introduction to electronics, electronic components and test equipment such as oscilloscopes, meters (voltage, resistance inductance, capacitance, etc.), and signal generators. Emphasizes individual instruction and development of skills, such as soldering, assembly, and troubleshooting. Students design, build, and keep a small electronics project, such as a simple robot, to put their new knowledge into practice. Intended for students with little or no previous background in electronics. Enrollment may be limited.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces design and implementation of practical microcontroller systems. Emphasizes practical application to outside projects. Covers the essentials of microcontrollers, e.g., inputs and outputs, analog/digital conversion, programming, closed-loop control, and serial communication. Includes weekly assigned projects and concludes with a project of the student's design. No previous electrical or programming experience required. Limited to 10.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces principles and techniques for visual communication of educational concepts in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. Students complete interactive assignments and class activities in visual arts media, such as photography, illustration, stop-motion and computer animation, and web graphics. A final project in a visual arts medium of the student's choice must meet professional aesthetic standards for visualization; it must also be applicable for teaching and learning concepts in mathematics, science, or engineering in a formal or informal setting. Coursework requires use of production equipment (e.g., photo and video cameras) and software tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Studio, and Maya) at the New Media Center. Limited to 18.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None

2.00 Credits
Students use both film and digital photography to develop a creative imaging project of their own choice. Develops skills in the use of image editing software to enhance, select, and combine images that the student has taken. Uses the darkroom to develop film for scanning and for chemical enlargement. Discusses topics such as the camera, composition, lighting, modes and formats, image compression, and halftone and dye sublimation printing. Students are expected to produce a duplicate set of black and white and/or color prints, along with a writeup and digital copy as the project output.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
2.00 Credits
Focuses on film and digital photography. Develops skill in the use of chemical darkrooms, scanners, digital printers and cameras to create striking still images capable of evoking strong emotional and intellectual responses from a viewer. Emphasizes the interplay between classical chemical and digital techniques and how they can be used to control the use of lighting, color, depth, and composition in an image. Students present their intermediate assignments to the class for critical discussion. At the end of the term, each student submits a substantive project presenting their own creative images for critique and evaluation.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Uses a project-based approach to examine the intersection of incentives and innovation, drawing on economic models, historic examples, and analytic tools to help develop new prize concepts that can generate revolutionary progress in the area of health and medicine. Limited to 30 graduate students by application; select upperclassmen with permission of instructor.

2.00 Credits
Explores the planning, monuments, and architectural history of Delhi using maps, city planning documents, readings, films, and slides as resources. Fosters a general understanding of cities and urban form through site visits to Boston and Cambridge, as well as by each student leading a discussion and presenting on a city that they know well. Upon successful completion of the seminar, students are eligible to participate in an optional travel experience to India during IAP for an additional fee; financial assistance available based on need. Meets with EC.A600 (freshman advising seminar).
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Issues in international development, appropriate technology and project implementation addressed through lectures, case studies, guest speakers and laboratory exercises. Students form project teams to partner with community organizations in developing countries, and formulate plans for an optional IAP site visit. (Previous field sites include Ghana, Brazil, Honduras and India.) Recitation sections focus on specific project implementation, and include cultural, social, political, environmental and economic overviews of the target countries as well as an introduction to the local languages. Enrollment limited by lottery; must attend first class session.
