An overview of physical chemistry (thermodynamics, kinetics, statistical and quantum mechanics, and spectroscopy) emphasizing applications to biology including macromolecule structure and stability, ligand binding, enzyme catalysis, and membrance structure and transport.

In this course, you will engage in a series of interactive, hands-on making activities with low-tech and high-tech tools to examine the theoretical and practical issues related to Making and Makerspaces in education.

This course is designed to introduce students to the use of educational robotics in the classroom as a computational manipulative. Robotics offer a learning environment that provides an investigative approach to education by providing the opportunity to use predictions, observation, and experimentation that integrate the digital world of computer programming with the physical world of the robot. This course covers both the theory behind educational robotics, the practical implications in the classroom, as well as hands-on practice using educational robotics.

The course provides foundational knowledge in trauma-informed education (TIE) for students in educational settings through the integration of theory and practice. Classes consist of lectures, small-group activities, material development. and assignments. The latter is designed for open education. Book chapters, webpages, videos, and academic references are provided to scaffold class learning.

This course examines the development of the novel as a literary genre from the 19th-century to the present in conjunction with major theories of the novel. We will pay particular attention to questions of form, class ascension and moral education, the regulation and transgression of gender norms, and the trope of the road/the journey.

An overview of physical chemistry (thermodynamics, kinetics, statistical and quantum mechanics, and spectroscopy) emphasizing applications to biology including macromolecule structure and stability, ligand binding, enzyme catalysis, and membrane structure and transport. Prerequisites: One year intro Physics; Calculus through partial derivatives

This is the first course in a two-course sequence where students work collaboratively to design and build a modest house for a community based affordable housing provider. Students engage in critical, process-based strategies for designing small, sustainable housing, and actively engage in all phases of architectural design including schematic design, design development, and construction documentation. There is a strong emphasis on equity in housing, affordable housing, low-carbon design, energy efficient design, and detailing for construction.

A key focus of this studio will be to explore systems at both a technical and a performative level, and how integrating them into the conception of a building's design from the outset can yield a richer, more sophisticated, and more cultural and environmentally engaged kind of architecture.
