This course introduces the basic theoretical concepts, procedures and methodologies needed to understand the mechanical behavior of objects in static equilibrium. Topics to be covered include 2d and 3d particle and rigid body equilibrium; analysis of frames, trusses, beams and machines; centroids; distributed loading; moment of inertia; internal forces and moments; and an introduction to stress and strain. In addition to developing competence in applying standard problem-solving procedures, students also apply their understanding in real world contexts.

This course focuses on the global transition of energy systems toward sustainability and net-zero emissions. There is interest across the planet to transition to energy systems that emit zero pollutant emissions – but is this actually possible? Students learn about both the engineering elements of energy systems and the societal and government initiatives for The Energy Transition.

Through readings, presentations and group activities, students are introduced to the principles of human-centered design. The engineering design process is explored through assignments that guide students in ideation, testing and documentation of an engineering system. Students engage in hands-on workshops to learn and practice new technical skills, and they apply these tools towards completing a semester-long collaborative project to design, build and program an autonomous mobile robot. Restrictions: EGR 100 may not be repeated. Enrollment limited to 20.

Older adults represent one of the fastest-growing demographics worldwide, projected to reach two billion by 2050. This shift brings pressing technological challenges: many experience social isolation, falls, and cognitive decline; yet nearly 70% of them express a strong desire to age in place, surrounded by safety, independence, and connection. This course explores how engineering design approaches can be used to address barriers faced by older adults and support the development of useful and usable technology for all ages.

In this class, the primary goal is to learn how to support disabled students in inclusive schooling environments. First, this course critically examines ableism and disability in schools, as well as intersections between ableism and other systems of inequality in education. The course also covers basic policies and procedures of special education in U.S. schools, so that students, as potential educators, understand their legal responsibilities to disabled students.

Previously ENG 399. Discussion of poetry, short stories, short novels, essays, and drama with particular emphasis on the ways in which one might teach them. Consideration of the uses of writing and the leading of discussion classes. For upper-level undergraduates and graduate students who have an interest in teaching. Restrictions: Juniors, seniors and graduate students only. Enrollment limited to 15.

This lab accompanies the secondary student teaching internship course EDC 352. The focus of the lab is the examination of student teaching dilemmas for discussion and reflection. Student teachers are introduced to key topics germane to their internship while examining the student teaching experience. The course brings together content knowledge, professional dispositions and caring, instructional methods, assessment strategies, collaboration, diversity, classroom management and technology.
