The performance of many engineered devices is dependent on macroscopic factors (pressure, temperature, flow, conductivity). As a result, engineers often model devices macroscopically considering atomistic level details only through fixed parameters. These parameters do not always capture the full atomistic level picture. More accurate multi-scale approaches for modeling macroscopic properties use basic atomistic level chemistry at key points in larger scale simulations. This course is an introduction to such approaches focusing on fuel cells as a concrete example.

This course studies a variety of topics in physics, drawn from the MCAT syllabus, including thermodynamics, acoustics, wave optics, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear phenomena. As in Physics 103/100, the applicable mathematics is geometry, proportion, and dimensional analysis.

Where does meaning come from, how does it work? Do different forms of expression (verbal, visual, auditory, or tactile) involve different ways of referring, of claiming what a message is about? Where do I locate the differences, how can I describe them? This class offers an introduction to key concepts in the study of meaning with a particular emphasis on narrative theory.

This course continues Asian Studies 222, Second Year Japanese I. Emphasizes speaking, listening, reading, and writing modern Japanese. Includes approximately 250 kanji. Supplements class work with audio and video.

This course for students in the postbaccalaureate program preparing for graduate-level study in the health professions. Topics include basic principles of biodiversity, genetics, biochemistry, cell structure and function, development, anatomy, and organ systems. Laboratory exercises compliment lecture material, and are intended to develop skills in microscopy, familiarity with using a variety of lab equipment, experimental design, data collection and analysis, and scientific writing.
