Introduction to traditinal animation techniques as used in fine art animation and experimental film/video. Basics of locomotion, timing, lighting, camera moves, exposure, sound design and audio an visual editing. Studio course.

Silvicultural practices used to manage forests for timber production, wildlife habitat, and watershed protection. Special focus on southern New England, but techniques apply to forests throughout the world. Lab: developing silvicultural plans for project areas. Prerequisites: one course in ecology, and one course in plant identification.

Biotechnology has experienced tremendous growth in last two decades and has transformed the areas of crop genetic engineering for food, fibers, biofuels and medicine. Plant tissue culture techniques facilitated the introduction of genes into plants for making crops resistant to herbicides, insects, production of edible vaccines, biofuels and healthy foods. Therefore, knowledge of plant tissue culture and transgene technology is highly desirable for preparing and training next generation scientists.

The course develops the practical knowledge and analytical skill required to make sense of field problems faced by public managers, and to design and implement strategic and effective practical action in the public sector. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-PolSci majors.

Analysis of the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The influence of transport and non-ideal fluid behavior on kinetics. The influence of in-homogeneity in temperature and mixing. Design parameters for ideal reactors and changes dictated by non-ideality. Prerequisites: courses in physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and differential calculus.

Laboratory Modules are hands-on training in interdisciplinary and translational experimental, analytical, and computational techniques. Modules emphasize developing and/or adapting tools to better serve the biotechnology industry.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a set of infectious diseases arising from a diverse group

A survey of American social/cultural/intellectual history from the post-Civil War period to the recent past. Developments in art, architecture, literature, philosophy, religion; major social themes and trends. Survey course in post-Civil War American history helpful. (Gen.Ed. HS)

The legends of King Arthur have been favorite stories for more than a thousand years. But those legends have changed dramatically from one retelling to the next, and they continue to change as modern authors and filmmakers re-imagine them. In this course, we will explore the shifting shape of the Arthurian cycle from the early Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, considering how Arthur has infiltrated the popular imagination. (Gen. Ed. AL)
