3.00 Credits
Introductory microbiology from a systems perspective. Considers microbial diversity, population dynamics, and genomics. Emphasize the delicate balance between microbes and humans, and changes that result in the emergence of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Case study approach covers topics such as vaccines, toxins, biodefense, and infections including Legionnaire's disease, tuberculosis, Helicobacter pylori, and plague.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Chemistry (GIR), Biology (GIR)
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with the opportunity to gain direct fieldwork and research experience in a global context. Subject spans three weeks, including two weeks of fieldwork in a remote location, such as Hawaii or Florida, and one week of lectures on campus. Expedition focuses on one or more ecological issues in three dimensions: scientific, political, and economic. Research paper or equivalent required. Limited to Course 1 students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces concepts of computer-aided design (CAD) though the use of modeling software. Provides the basic skills applicable to various CAD programs. Students produce dimensioned drawings and create 2-D wire frame geometry and 3-D solid models. Licensed software provided for class use. Limited to 20; preference to Course 1 students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
0.00 - 6.00 Credits
Students work as unpaid laboratory, tutorial, or classroom assistants under supervision of a faculty member. Limited to Undergraduate Teaching Fellows and graders in Course 1.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
0.00 Credits
Project-oriented introduction to the principles and practice of civil and environmental engineering design. First half of the term, students work in teams to apply the design process to an open-ended design/planning problem involving civil and environmental engineering aspects. In the second half, teams design and build a working model researching, in detail, an aspect of the planning/design project. Each team then presents the model and the results to the class. Regular written and oral presentations. Students also start on their design portfolio.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None. Coreq: 1.018, 1.050
-
1.00 Credits
Project-oriented subject focused on the principles and practice of engineering design. Emphasis on construction and deployment of designs, plus performance testing used to determine if designs behave as expected. Subject includes a major team project involving use and application of sensors, as well as environmentally-friendly, and energy-effective or energy-producing designs. Further development of hands-on, teamwork and communication skills. Enrollment limited; preference to Course 1 students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor and Coreq: 1.060
-
0.00 Credits
Builds on the lecture subjects 1.061 and 1.070. Fundamentals of mass and flow measurements in field and laboratory settings, and application of these measurement techniques to analyze real and model environmental systems. Enrollment limited; preference to 1-E and 1-A students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None. Coreq: 1.061, 1.070
-
0.00 Credits
Laboratory and field techniques in biogeochemistry and environmental engineering and their application to the understanding of natural and engineered ecosystems. Exercises demonstrate data acquisition and modeling suited to identifying and quantifying physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern the effects of human activity on the functioning of natural systems and/or the efficacy of engineered approaches to environmental problems. Applications include chemical and biological remediation, measurement of contaminants, and detection of biogeochemical activity in natural environments. An independently designed final project is required. 1.018 and 1.061 strongly recommended. Enrollment limited; preference to 1-E students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None. Coreq: 1.080
-
3.00 Credits
Modern software development techniques and algorithms for engineering computation. Hands-on investigation of computational and software techniques for simulating engineering systems, such as sensor networks, traffic networks, and discrete simulation of materials using atomistic and particle methods. Covers data structures and algorithms for modeling, analysis, and visualization in the setting of multi-core and distributed computing. Treatment of basic topics, such as queuing, sorting and search algorithms, and more advanced numerical techniques based on state machines and distributed agents. Foundation for in-depth exploration of image processing, optimization, finite element and particle methods, computational materials, discrete element methods, and network methods. Knowledge of an object-oriented language required.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.00 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Software architecting and design of software-intensive systems. Targeted at future CTOs who must understand both the business and technical issues involved in architecting enterprise-scale systems. Student teams confront technically challenging problems. Lectures and readings cover core database, XML, web server components and browser issues in a distributed web service environment. Enrollment limited.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.00, 1.124J, or permission of instructor
