1.00 Credits
A project course. Examination of scientists' concerns about global warming, the controversy about whether the effect is real, ''greenhouse gasses,'' which may cause warming of the globe, and the impacts that scientists believe will occur. Topics include sea rise, effects on human health, and impacts on food supply. Student projects will focus on the potential engineering solutions such as renewable energy (solar, wind). Prerequisite: junior or senior standing. Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Courses in which engineering projects of an interdisciplinary nature are undertaken. The projects must have engineering relevance in the sense of undertaking to meet human need through a disciplined approach under the guidance of a member of the engineering faculty. Consent of instructor required. Instructor: Staff

1.00 Credits
An integrative design course addressing both creative and practical aspects of the design of systems related to energy and the environment. Development of the creative design process, including problem formulation and needs analysis, feasibility, legal, economic and human factors, environmental impacts, energy efficiency, aesthetics, safety, and design optimization. Application of design methods through a collaborative design project involving students from the Pratt School of Engineering and Trinity College. Open only to students pursuing the undergraduate certificate in Energy and Environment. Prerequisites: CE 24L, ENV 130 and ME 121. One course
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces freshmen to the process of team-based creative conceptualization, visualization prototyping, and product realization. Students use computer-aided design tools to create custom circuit boards and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machined components to produce prototype systems. Design concepts are introduced and supported through hands-on assignments. Instructor: Twiss and Simmons
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to engineering and the engineering method through a wide variety of historical and modern case studies, ranging from unique structures like bridges to mass produced objects like pencils. Instructor: Petroski
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Review of techniques for predicting radio propagation. Sophisticated propagation models with comparisons to field measurements. Examples from both narrowband and wideband systems. Topics covered include: radio-wave propagation for the wireless channel; effects of buildings, terrain, and foliage on path loss; unified view of key propagation effects in narrowband and wideband systems including spatial variation, angle of arrival and delay spread; diffraction at building corners; mobile-to-mobile path loss in cities; parabolic-wave-equation analysis of long-range propagation in naturally occurring environments; and simulations of fast fading and shadow loss. Prerequisite: Electrical Engineering 170. Instructor: Carin
-
0.00 Credits
Designed for engineering graduate students contemplating careers in academia. Topics include teaching skills, philosophy of higher education, academic integrity, research ethics, operation of a modern university, student development and learning, evaluation of performance, conducting teaching laboratories, advising, and other topics. Instructor: Vesilind

1.00 Credits
This seminar examines the environmental impacts of large infrastructure from dam construction, to large-scale farming and irrigation, clear-cutting of natural forests, and extensive urbanization of land-margin ecosystems. Focus on the social and engineering make-up of global environmental change and water resources. Introduction to the science and technology of environmental adaptation and sustainability. Students will organize in small research groups working on trans-disciplinary case-studies. Instructor: Barros
