1.00 Credits
Students will be introduced to the new and exciting ways in which we can start to bring engineering and biology together. The course asks fundamental questions such as "How did Nature solve problem X?" and "What are the problems that Nature has?" and explore how to forward engineer new products and processes inspired by Nature's own solutions. The seminar will give students a foundation to achieve technological innovation through effective channeling of creativity and scientific principles. The class divides in teams and ranges of expertise and interest in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering are encouraged to join in. Instructor consent required. Instructors: Needham and Bonaventura

1.00 Credits
Development of interactive computer simulations in JAVA using Reality.java, a library that includes graphical objects such as spaceships, planets, and standardized functions for Newtonian mechanics. Introduction to object-oriented programming, linked and inherited structures, and aspects of computational mathematics such as stability and computational error, orbital mechanics, collision detection, strategy, etc. Prerequisite: Engineering 53L or Computer Science 6 or Computer Science 100E. Instructor: Staff

1.00 Credits
In this interdisciplinary course students will conduct a life cycle analysis of a natural disaster. Invited experts will discuss meteorologic, hydrologic and geologic factors that cause disasters; explore how societies plan for and/or respond to the immediate and long-term physical, social, emotional and spiritual issues associated with survival; and present case studies of response, recovery and reconstruction efforts. Students will attend the lecture component of the course and complete on-line quizzes to demonstrate understanding of the material presented. Additionally, they will prepare on individual paper (~ 10 pages) on a relevant topic and one group paper, the results of which will be presented to the class. Instructor: Schaad

Research Service Learning Gateway course where students will conduct a life cycle analysis of natural disasters. Invited experts will discuss meteorologic, hydrologic and geologic factors that cause disasters; explore how societies plan and/or respond to the immediate and long-term physical, social, emotional and spiritual issues associated with survival; and present case studies of response, recovery and reconstruction efforts. Students will attend the lecture component of the course and complete on-line quizzes to demonstrate understanding of the material presented. For the service learning experience, students will carry out response activities over Spring Break in an area ravaged by a natural disaster. They will keep a journal (audio and written) of their activities, write a brief synopsis (4-5 pages), and make a group oral presentation of their findings following their return. They will also submit a hypothetical research proposal for a project which might stem from the course and their experiences. Instructor: Schaad
-
1.00 Credits
Analysis of force systems and their equilibria as applied to engineering systems. Stresses and strains in deformable bodies; mechanical behavior of materials; applications of principles to static problems of beams, torsion members, and columns. Selected laboratory work. Prerequisites: Mathematics 32 and Physics 61L. Instructor: Albertson, Dolbow, Gavin, Hueckel, Laursen, Nadeau, or Virgin
