Embedded Computational Systems is a hands-on laboratory for building integrated systems. We develop analytical skills and discuss sensors, motor drivers, I/O, control logic, and operating systems for embedded applications. Students build several individual projects and invent one integrated, semester-long team project.

Important mechanical properties of materials engineering such as yield strength and fracture toughness experimentally investigated with a view towards materials selection and design. Skills emphasized: experimental technique, statistical analysis of data, report writing, and oral presentation.

This course seeks to examine the ways in which refugees are addressed, constructed and mobilized by writers, filmmakers, artists, activists, and dramatists in their works. It further considers how refugees themselves create medium-specific ways to address and to comment on their experiences in Germany as well as to intervene into public-political debates and legislation.

Survey of basic concepts and theories of ethics. Consideration of specific ethical problems that businesses and business people are apt to face.

This course will engage students in preparing and practicing their own short scientific talk based on their work. The emphasis will be on the strategies for delivery of clear, impactful language and use of visual aids to enhance the audience experience. We will critique and assess each other as well as departmental seminar speakers in order to discuss the wide array of successful speaking styles and devices. The goal is for each student to develop their own style and delivery of an engaging scientific presentation.

In "Europe and the People without History," Eric Wolf, the late anthropologist notes that, "the social sciences constitute one long dialogue with the ghost of Marx." Feminists and anti-colonialists are among the many advocates of social justice who have engaged with Karl Marx's writing and fierce criticism of capitalism. This advanced seminar focuses on an exegesis of some of Marx's oeuvre and the historical and current scholarship that draws on, critiques, and pushes its boundaries.
