In this course students will: 1) work in small design teams to solve a well-defined ECE problem and then, 2) undertake more practical open-ended engineering problem. The well-defined ECE design project will be chosen from a list of available projects that span the department?s core electrical engineering and computer engineering sub-disciplines.

Description not available at this time

Ritual, theology, and myth in ancient Greece, from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic periods. Interactions and rivalries among various religions. Emphasis on types of worship: public state religions, private mystery cults, hero cults.

Methods of nonlinear analysis for finite dimensional problems in Chemical Engineering. Existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Phase plane analysis, bifurcation theory, limit cycles and Hopf bifurcations. Lyapunov?s direct method of analysis for nonlinear systems. Computational techniques used in the analysis of nonlinear systems. Applications in chemical reactors, catalysis, biochemical systems, reaction-diffusion problems, and transport phenomena.

Numerical solution of mathematical models for chemical engineering systems in MATLAB. Model types include algebraic systems, ordinary differential equation systems, differential-algebraic equation systems, partial differential equations, linear programs and nonlinear programs. Formal lectures will be restricted to recitation sessions and regular sessions will be used to solve specific models within a collaborative environment.

Determination of loads for building structures, including seismic, wind, blast, and thermal. Complementary to material-specific design courses, this course will focus on structural system selection, and system-level design. Interactions between structural systems will also be considered.

Historical survey of the decorative arts from the middle ages into the present century; emphasis on the European and American period styles of the 18th century onward. Various media of the decorative arts, including furniture, glass, textiles. Prerequisite: ART-HIST 100, 110, or 115.

Architecture, sculpture and painting from 1600-1750, especially in Rome; painting of the Bolognese school; spread of the Baroque style. Emphasis on Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Bernini, Borromini, and Pietro da Cortona. (Planned for Fall, alternate years)
