What shapes the built environment of cities and towns we inhabit? Have you considered a career in the stewardship of the built environment? By exploring perspectives within sustainability, planning, and urban design, we can learn to better understand the cities we live in and why they function the way they do. Through sustainability tools and techniques, students will learn to engage with their surroundings while understanding the importance of creating an inclusive, equitable, and resilient built environment that moves beyond economic benefits to consider social and environmental impacts.

This course will introduce students to the traditions and expectations of the Journalism Program, as well as resources and opportunities that will help them as they move through the major. Through workshops and exercises, students will meet faculty, get to know campus media and career services staff, learn about the writing and academic expectations of the program.

Computer science and its related fields are known for their high intensity and transitioning into a new academic environment can often be challenging. The Stress Management seminar is designed to provide students with practical strategies and support systems to help them navigate the unique challenges that they may encounter as computer science/informatics students. This seminar aims to foster a proactive approach to stress management, promoting a healthy and balanced student experience.

This seminar will explore broadly-available AI through the lens of ChatGPT. We will take a look at how it does what it does, how it can be fun and useful, how it can be ethically concerning, and how it could change our lives.

When scientists get stuck on a particular design or algorithm to solve a problem, they often take inspiration from nature. By studying and mimicking natural processes, computer scientists have developed innovative techniques and algorithms to solve complex problems, optimize resources, and enhance the performance and efficiency of computing systems. In this seminar, we will explore some fundamental design principles of nature, such as the behavior of ants, the structure of trees, and the organization of neurons, and how they can be applied to the design of computing systems.

Covers algorithm design techniques ("divide-and-conquer," dynamic programming, "greedy" algorithms, etc.), analysis techniques (including big-O notation, recurrence relations), useful data structures (including heaps, search trees, adjacency lists), efficient algorithms for a variety of problems and NP-completeness. Designation: Theory. Prerequisites: CSC 210, MTH 111 and MTH 153. Enrollment limited to 30.
