Imagine being part of the next great technological revolution that will virtually change almost every aspect of your life! Nanotechnology studies the creation, methods, and application of materials that are smaller than one, one billionth of a meter; that is, less that one sixth the thickness of a normal human hair. Applications already include medical imaging, cosmetics, car wax, and fabric for stain-free clothing, just to name a few. The Federal Government considers nanotechnology such a high priority that it has allocated significant resources, under the National Nanotechnology Initiative (www.nano.gov) to support innovation, research, and the study of potential toxicity.

Do you ever wonder how things that you use every day work? Do you like to take things apart? Do you like to fix things? Do you wonder how people make iPods, how humans can travel and live in space, and how can we use solar energy to solve the world's critical problems? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then perhaps you'd like to be an engineer.

One of the most pressing issues of modern times is how we will satisfy our future energy needs and what influence this might have on global warming. Energy research should receive significant funding from the Obama administration, and many new developments now try to "go green". This course will provide a strong introduction to many of the relevant issues and provide some "hands-on" experience with practical technologies. It will also try to both introduce and debunk some of the controversy that surrounds both energy and global warming.

Human life expectancy has risen dramatically over the last century due to rapid advances in medicine. The progress of medicine, in turn, can be attributed to the increased scientific understanding of human biology coupled with improvements and enhanced access to engineering technologies. The most important outcome of the interaction between medicine and biology has been the evolution of the field of biomedical engineering, which brings together the knowledge acquired by biomedical scientists and physicians and applies engineering analysis and design techniques to develop solutions for medical problems.

Come explore the world of marine science this summer! During this course, which is run in partnership with Save the Bay, students will wear the hat of a marine biologist. Come discover the different habitats of a New England estuary and meet the critters that call this place home. Learn techniques necessary to collect data on topics that include water quality, bay taxonomy, geology, and plankton ecology. Potential field activities include trips aboard Save the Bay’s education vessels, snorkeling in eel grass beds, canoeing in a local river or exploring different coastal habitats of Narragansett Bay.

BELL is a unique outdoor learning laboratory. The courses draw their curricula from many different disciplines: biology, chemistry, geology, environmental studies, leadership theory and experiential education. As students live and learn together on the shores of Narragansett Bay, they are challenged both physically and intellectually.

Today, one cannot escape concerns and heated debate regarding the ways humans impact the environmental resources of the globe. While for some this is a new exploration, ecological anthropologists have long devoted attention to how people adjust and adapt to the environment, and modify it in turn. This course explores the environment from an anthropological and archaeological perspective. It introduces students to variations in how societies understand, experience, and “treat” the physical environs surrounding them. These cultural and historical variations have important real-world implications for how communities, policy-makers, and special interest groups design and implement programs relating to environmentalism, sustainability, and ecological living around the globe.

The chances are that you already know more than several Japanese words such as Anime, sushi, Haiku (poem), Karaoke, Origami, Karate, Samurai, Teriyaki, and Tsunami, among others. When you watch Anime, have you ever wondered what the characters are really saying in Japanese? Are you fascinated with Japanese culture and customs such as Ikebana and Tea Ceremony, or old temples and shrines? Do you want to get to know the newest and coolest technology in computer or robot? If you know Japanese language, it is much easier to learn about Japan. Why don’t you try something new and open the door to a new world this summer by taking Introduction to Japanese.
