Fifty percent of Americans believe it is at least somewhat important for food to be produced in a sustainable way. What exactly does this mean? How can specific agricultural practices and food production/processing methods impact the sustainability of our food? What are the different components of a sustainable diet? These are just a few of the questions we will address in this course as we explore the controversies and solutions associated with sustainable diets and food production.

Are you willing to let go of your smart phone or laptop for a week, a month, a year, perhaps even longer? What if you
were not even permitted to use the telephone or to write letters? If not, why not? What do you think you might lose
in these situations? What would your life be like? Would it be better or worse and why? It seems clear that we now
live in what is called network society: we live in networks; we work hard to network with one another; and perhaps
we have become networks in some way. More than that, we are also surrounded by talks about networks. I call this

Food suffuses everything we do. It nourishes, propels, inspires, comforts, vexes, and sometimes even destroys us. Naturally, people have been writing about food for as long as they have been writing. In this class, we will critically analyze a broad scope of writing on food, from Ancient Rome to contemporary Times Square. We will discuss such concepts as community, identity, nostalgia, ethics, commerce, nutrition, and more.

The 21st century is known as the Century of the City, with more than 70% of the world?s population expected to be urban by mid-century. This trend towards global urban living is unprecedented in human history and presents profound challenges to meet sustainability goals. This seminar will consider the implications of meeting human needs in cities from an urban planning and design perspective. The seminar will involve weekly readings, in-class discussions, brief instructor presentations, and optional papers for a letter grade.

This course is for students who would like to design their own acquisition experiment - or play a primary role in an ongoing research project. Students will be asked to make presentations at every stage from theoretical background, hypothesis, early pilot design, and then carry out at least a pilot.. Students are invited to speak to the professor before enrolling.

This course gathers together an array of recent Latin American, Spanish, Caribbean, and Latinx films with an emphasis on addressing the experiences of marginalized people. We will explore the historical and cultural contexts in which these films are made and seen, in many cases reaching vast audiences across the world, and we will push at the boundaries of the category "Hispanic" in cinema.

This novel course presents an introduction to the topic of security engineering by building on analytical and experimental computer engineering techniques, and then applying them to security problems. Security is playing an increasing role in computer engineering and society at large. Security engineering crosses several disciplines of computer engineering including hardware, software, cryptography, experimental methods as well as broader topics such as management, economics, risk analysis, policy and human factors.
