  • Engineering Sciences 37: Introduction to Environmental Engineering

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    08F, 09F: 10 A survey of the sources, measurement techniques, and treatment technologies relating to environmental pollution resulting from the activities of humans. The course will be technology-focused, but will also touch on topics related to the implementation of technology in the real world such as public perception, policy and legislation, and choosing between technological alternatives. Technological and other issues will be addressed relating to water pollution, air pollution, solid wastes, and the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment. Consideration of each area will include general background and key concepts, detailed design examples of importance in the area, and case studies/current topics. The course will include guest lectures. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3 and Chemistry 5, or equivalent, or permission. Dist: TAS. Cushman-Roisin.

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    08F, 09F: 10A This course will cover some basic concepts underlying the 'information superhighway.' The technologies of high speed networking have stimulated much activity within the federal government, the telecommunications and computer industries, and even social science and popular fiction writing. The technical focus will be on communications technologies, information theory, and the communications requirements of video (standard and ATV), speech (and other audio), text data. Social economic and policy issues will be an integral part of the course . Dist: TAS . Taylor.

  • Engineering Sciences 41: Sustainability and Natural Resource Management

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09S, 10S: 11 Natural resources sustain human productivity. Principles of scientific resource management are developed, and prospects for sustainability are explored. Three generic categories of resource are analyzed: exhaustible, living, and renewable. In the first category we emphasize the lifecycle of exploitation including exhaustion, exploration and substitution. In the living category we explore population dynamics under natural and harvested regimes, for fisheries and forests. Finally, the renewable case of water is treated in terms of quantity and quality. Throughout, the intersection of natural, economic, and political behavior is explored in theory via computer simulations; case studies illustrate contemporary management problems and practices. Prerequisite: Mathematics 13. Dist: TAS. Lynch.

  • Engineering Sciences 44: Sustainable Design

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09W, 10W: 10A An interdisciplinary introduction to the principles of design for sustainability, with emphasis on the built environment. Through lectures, readings, discussions, and a major design project, students will learn to design buildings and other infrastructure with low to no impact on the environment. Emphasis is on creative thinking, strategies for managing the complexity of the product life-cycle of the infrastructure, and the thorough integration of human and economic aspects in the design. Homework and project activities provide practice in relevant engineering analyses. Enrollment is limited to 20 students Prerequisites: Engineering Sciences 21 and 22 or Studio Art 65. Dist: TAS.

  • Engineering Sciences 51: Principles of Systems Dynamics

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09S: 10A This course introduces systems dynamics, an approach to policy design and analysis based upon feedback principles and computer simulation. The approach is useful for gaining an understanding of the underlying structural causes of problem behavior in social, economic, political, environmental, technological, and biological systems. Goals of this approach are to gain better understanding of such problem behaviors and to design policies aimed at improving them. Lectures and exercises illustrate applications of the approach to real, current problems such as urban decay, resource depletion, environmental pollution, product marketing and distribution, and agricultural planning in an expanding population. The similarity and transferability of underlying feedback characteristics among various applications is emphasized. No prior engineering or computer science experience is necessary. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3. Dist: TAS. The staff.
