This course delves into the biotechnology techniques and advances that have impacted the world of biomedical research and medicine.
Survey: Renaissance-Modern Art
Historical survey of art, architecture, and urban development from the Baroque to the present; the social context in which style has developed. Discussion of the same material from a critical and topical point of view. Background for upper-level art history courses; required of majors. (Gen.Ed. AT)
FYS - Signal/Noise- Juggernaut
Carl Sagan lamented that, "We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.
FYS - Field Works: Art & Sci
What do artists and scientists have in common? Not much, according to conventional wisdom. However, in light of the growing number of artists co-opting scientific practices like biotechnology, we must reconsider the intersection of these two fields. This seminar will investigate the processes by which artists and scientists engage with the world. Special emphasis will be placed on two key overlaps in the approach of these disciplines: input, the ways in which artists and scientists collect and interpret information; and output, how these observations are communicated to a broader audience.
Programming w/Data Structures
Advanced programming techniques in the Java language focusing on abstract data types. Specific topics include linked structures, recursive structures and algorithms, tree-based structures, and hash tables. Elementary techniques of software engineering, including documentation, coding style, basic testing principles, and informal reasoning about correctness. Weekly programming assignments, discussion section exercises, and multiple exams.
