This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to introduce students to fundamental theoretical principles and analysis of mechanics of continuous media, including solids and fluids. Concepts and topics to be covered in this course include conservation laws, static and dynamic behavior of rigid bodies, analysis of machines and frames, internal forces, centroids, moment of inertia, vibrations and an introduction to stress and strain. Prerequisite: PHY 117, MTH 112 (or the equivalent) or permission of the instructor. Required laboratory taken once a week.

An introduction to design principles as applied to three-dimensional form. A required fee of $25 to cover group supplied materials will be charged at the time of registration.

An introduction to intaglio printmaking, particularly etching and drypoint. A required fee of $75 to cover group supplied materials will be charged at the time of registration. Prerequisite: ARS 161, 162, 163, 172, 173, or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 12.

Admission by permission of the instructor. Special Studies are open only to qualified juniors and seniors, and in appropriate cases, to sophomores. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor in advance of the semester they intend to do ENV 400.

This course examines how humans have changed Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, particularly over the last century, and the social, scientific, and political challenges posed by these environmental alterations. We will reflect on how differing worldviews have influenced our past actions and may determine our future trajectory. Readings and discussions will examine scientific evidence, policies designed to improve the environment, and national and international responses to the environmental crises that confront humanity.

In sections limited to 15 students each, this course primarily provides systematic instruction and practice in reading and writing academic prose, with emphasis on argumentation. The course also provides instruction and practice in conducting research and in public speaking. Bilingual students and non-native speakers are especially encouraged to register for sections taught by Holly Davis. Priority will be given to incoming students in the fall-semester sections. Course may be repeated for credit with another instructor. We live in a world where everybody seems to be performing.
