CAPSTONE DESIGN WITH FACULTY

This two-semester course leverages students' previous coursework to address an engineering design problem. Students work on a design project sponsored by an individual member of the engineering faculty. Regular design meetings, progress reports, interim and final reports, and presentations are required. Prerequisites: EGR 220, 270, 290 and at least one 300-level engineering course, plus a clear demonstration of intent and a faculty sponsor. Corequisite EGR 410D.

EXPLORING LOCAL GEO LANDSCAPE

The Connecticut Valley region is rich with geologic features that can be reached by a short van ride from Smith. This is a field-based course that explores geology through weekly trips and associated assignments during which we examine evidence for volcanoes, dinosaurs, glaciers, rifting continents and Himalayan-size mountains in Western Massachusetts. Students who have taken FYS 103 Geology in the Field are not eligible to take GEO 102. This class, when taken in conjunction with any other 100-level course, can serve as a pathway to the Geoscience major.

SENIOR CAPSTONE SEMINAR

The culminating experience for the book studies concentration is an independent research project that synthesizes the student's academic and practical experiences. The student's concentration adviser serves as the sponsor for the project; topics for this capstone project is decided in concert with the student's adviser and vetted by the concentration's director. The seminar meets once each week to discuss methodology and progress on the independent projects and to discuss general readings in book studies theory and praxis.

ARTIST'S BOOK IN 20TH CENTURY

A survey of the genre from its beginnings in the political and artistic avant-garde movements of Europe at the turn of the 20th century through contemporary American conceptual bookworks. In particular, the course examines the varieties of form and expression used by book artists and the relationships between these artists and the sociocultural, literary and graphic environments from which they emerged.
