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 will examine the intrinsic immediate nature of drawing that allows the sculptor's voice to emerge. The class will work in a detailed and planned manner, build constructed models to scale and experiment with the intuitive use of drawing mediums. Some drawing projects will have physical weight, command space or become sculptural by using a variety of drawing materials, such as pigment, string and tape.
