ST-Historic Structures Reports

This course is designed to provide students the opportunity to prepare a historic structures report and to develop alternative uses for a historic building. Some of the topics covered include analyzing primary and secondary sources, documenting existing conditions, drafting statements of significance, and making architectural evaluations and recommendations. Guest lectures and numerous site visits will inform students' projects as well as a significant group effort.

S-Adversarial Machine Learning

Adversarial machine learning is the study of the attacks that systematically alter the inferences produced learned models. ML systems are increasingly foundational for large technological systems such as social media, news recommendation, fraud detection, autonomous vehicles, and systems security. In this course, we will read and discuss central papers from a variety of machine learning and security conferences and journals.

Catalysis: Fundamentals...

An integrative and interdisciplinary approach to catalysis science and applications with links to fundamental chemistry and engineering concepts. Overview of catalysis subdisciplines, methods of catalyst and nanomaterials synthesis, characterization of nanomaterials and surfaces, principles of reactivity of molecular, solid and biocatalysts with illustrations from industrial processes.

The Craft of History

This course provides history majors with an introduction to the philosophy of history, historical methodology, and general schools of historiography. We will consider how historians inside and outside the academy pose questions, and how they find, select, evaluate, interpret, and analyze evidence in order to propose answers to those questions. Finally, we will reflect as well upon questions about the purposes and goals of both studying and writing history.
