2.00 Credits
Students work on projects to address large, complex and seemingly intractable real-world problems, such as energy supply, environmental issues, health care delivery, and critical infrastructure (e.g., telecommunications, water supply, and transportation). Introduces interdisciplinary approaches - rooted in engineering, management, and the social sciences - to considering these critical contemporary issues. Small, faculty-led teams select an engineering systems term project to illustrate one or more of these approaches.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to project management with emphasis on finance, evaluation, and organization. Topics include project financing; public-private partnership; cost-benefit analysis, resource and cost estimation; project organization; and project control and delivery. Case studies used to demonstrate relevant issues. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces basic concepts of transportation systems data collection, modeling, analysis and visualization techniques. Covers fundamental analytical and simulation-based methodologies. Topics include time-space diagrams, cumulative plots, queuing theory, traffic assignment, transportation paradoxes, and urban traffic control. Provides students with an understanding of the current challenges and opportunities in different areas of transportation.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.00, 1.010
-
2.00 Credits
Develops initial competency in engineering design by taking a holistic view. Conceiving, designing, manufacturing and testing a system component such as a complex structural part. Activities include hand sketching, CAD modeling, CAE analysis, CAM programming, and operation of CNC machining equipment. Focuses on the complementary roles of human creativity as well as the design process itself. Designs are executed by pairs of students who enter their products in a design competition. Enrollment may be limited.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 16.01, 16.02 or 2.001, 2.002 or permission of instructor
-
0.00 Credits
Exposes students to engineering frameworks, models, and cases in an interactive, experience-based environment, and hones leadership skills. Students participate in guided reflection on successes and discover opportunities for improvement in a controlled setting. Activities include role-play, simulation, design-implement activities, and case study analysis. Content throughout the term is frequently student-driven. Seniors should register for the 6-unit version, ESD.050. Preference to juniors in the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program.

Exposes students to engineering frameworks, models, and cases in an interactive, experience-based environment, and hones leadership skills. Students participate in guided reflection on successes and discover opportunities for improvement in a controlled setting. Activities include role-play, simulation, design-implement activities, case study analysis, and mentoring other students. Content throughout the term is frequently student-driven. Juniors should register for the 3-unit version, ESD.05. Preference to seniors in the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: ESD.05
-
4.00 Credits
Project-based seminar in effective design-thinking. Develops skills to conceive, evaluate, plan, organize, lead, and implement engineering design projects. Covers techniques to sharpen creative thinking and critical analysis of designs, using an iterative process, as well as techniques for managing project scope and balancing real-world constraints against limitations of technology and human cognition. Students conceive and design robust voice recognition applications using a simple web-based system. Lays foundation for departmental capstone work. Limited to 60; preference to juniors and seniors.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Students attend a remote workshop where an introduction to basic principles, methods, and tools for project management in a realistic context are covered. Over remainder of term, progresses to an introduction to project management, with emphasis on finance, evaluation, and organization. In teams, students create a plan for a project of their choice; past projects include Debris Removal in Haiti and Food Preparation Robot for Restaurants. Develops skills applicable to the management of complex development projects. Topics include cost-benefit analysis, resource and cost estimation, and project control and delivery. Case studies highlight projects in both hardware/construction and software. Preference to students in the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Considers potentially important risk factors for common cancers in the general environment and the workplace: air-, food- and water-borne chemicals; subclinical infections; and diet and lifestyle choices. Includes an analysis of the history of cancer mortality rates in predominantly European- and African-American cohorts. Examines metakaryotic cancer stem cells as targets for both pathogenic environmental risk factors and drugs that prevent the growth of or kill preneoplastic and/or neoplastic stem cells.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Biology (GIR), Chemistry (GIR)
-
2.00 Credits
Exposes students to the models and methods of engineering leadership within the contexts of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating products, processes and systems. Introduces models and theories, such as the 4 Capabilities Framework and the Capabilities of Effective Engineering Leaders. Discusses the appropriate times and reasons to use particular models to deliver engineering success. Includes guest speakers, team projects, and video analysis of team performance. Preference to students in the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program.
