3.00 Credits
Statistics and Reliability shows how to incorporate uncertainty into design and operation of engineering projects. Topics include: Exploratory data analysis, continuous and discrete probability distributions, regression and correlation, hypothesis testing, system reliability, first-order analysis of uncertainty, maximum entropy, load and resistance factor design, Monte Carlo simulation. Several detailed case studies demonstrate application of basic ideas.

2.00 Credits
This is the first Environmental Engineering Capstone Design Course. Students learn research, design, and assessment methodoligies from other areas of specialization and combine it with information learned in engineering courses. Final designs must demonstrate consideration of sustainability, ethical issues and social responsibility. The course must be followed by ENVE 5002

This course focuses on elucidating many of the necessary tools and experimental procedures required for studying biological systems. The topics will be limited to the fundamental information and skills needed for dissecting and designing these systems, beginning with basic cellular physiology, progressing to protein synthesis and purification and concluding with pertinent enzymatic processes. Along the way we will distill only the essential biological information required for examining and engineering natural physical systems. To meet the demands of a variety of engineering disciplines, a combination of molecular biology, cellular biology and biochemistry will be amalgamated to provide a practical working knowledge in the areas of nucleic acid structure/function, PCR, protein structures, engineering and purification; as well as macroscale assembly of these protein building blocks into cellular processes like enzymatic remediation, fermentation, and photosynthesis. Overall, the class is designed to provide a useful introduction to the continuously evolving biological sciences, and to teach how biological tools are best used by engineers.

2.00 Credits
The lab portion of Applied Biology for Engineers will mirror the topics covered in lecture starting with DNA structure, primer design and PCR. Students will design and perform a PCR reaction, and clone a gene of interest into a recombinant bacterial expression strain. A small scale growth procedure, including media preparation and affinity tag purification of the recombinant protein will be included. Finally, the purified enzyme will be tested for performance and kinetics. Operational knowledge of equipment and basic lab skills will be obtained, and a detailed lab notebook representing the culmination of the lab course work will be evaluated for the grade.

1.00 Credits
Preparatory lecture series for students planning to work on design and implementation of infrastructure engineering projects in developing nations, including construction of structures, water systems or energy systems. Exposure to appropriate technology for developing nations, EWB-USA project process, sustainable development, international cultural learning, travel planning and expectations and health and safety planning.
