Students in this class will learn the techniques necessary for investment casting metals. We’ll first make models of the items to be cast – either by sculpting wax into the desired shape, or by casting wax into a rubber mold of an existing object. We will then build ceramic shells around the models, burn out the wax, and cast molten bronze, brass or aluminum into the resulting mold. If time permits, we will also cover the basics of sand casting.

This lecture will cover the basic principles of ion source, optics and ion-material interaction in a focused ion beam machine with an emphasis on the differences from, and similarities to, the electron-beam instrument. In addition, the lecture will describe the configuration of the FEI Helios 600 Nanolab Dual Beam workstation in the CMSE Electron Microscopy Facility, and conclude with application examples as well as open discussion of the material characterization and nanofabrication uses of the dual beam workstation.

This course will cover the basics of welding metals with various techniques: oxyacetylene torches, stick welding (SMAW), MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) will be explored. The first four instructional sessions will review the procedures and techniques, safety concerns and equipment, and capabilities of each welding methods. Students can then use the final session as time to practice welding or to weld a small project under the supervision of the instructor.

Currently, the most economically viable sources of energy are found beneath the Earth’s surface. Exploring for these resources, therefore, requires physical methods that can probe the interior of opaque objects. Given the size of the earth, along with its physical properties, the three most effective methods can be categorized as follows:
We will survey each of these three categories, examining the physical properties each is sensitive to, the scale and quality of information each provides, and the economic/physical constraints that limit their applicability. Each topic will be covered in a half-day of lectures. Students will be given a small exercise during each lecture in order to gain physical intuition into the advantages and drawbacks of each method.
Following the final lecture a “Shell IAP Challenge” will be presented to the class, where the students will be offered the opportunity to compete in a contest. Given the knowledge obtained in the couse, the goal of the contest will be for students to “think out-of-the-box”, and come with a radical new idea for probing the Earth’s crust. The idea can be a new/un-tested physical principle that could potentially be tried, or else an novel application of one of the methods listed above. Students will have the remainder of IAP to put together a proposal and report, which will then be reviewed by Shell scientists. The best idea(s) will be awarded a cash prize.

A sequence of three classes will be given.
The first is basic introduction to Mathematica. The presentation will focus on the integration between WolframAlpha's Mathematica 8. Wolfram Alpha can be used to quickly learn Mathematica's core language. Topics will include symbolic and numeric calculations, graphics and charts, guis, and load on demand data sets. No prior knowledge of Mathematica is necessary. BYOL with an MIT student Mathematica license installed.
The second day is a BYOL workshop that illustrates Mathematica's multi-paradigm programming language built-in functions and algorithms can be create models publication quality visualizations Some advanced programming concepts will be introduced. Attendance of the previous Mathematica IAP session is helpful but not required. However, some experience with basic Mathematica code is necessary.
The third session introduces Wolfram’s SystemModeler for multi-domain modeling projects. Using the open Modelica standard, SystemModeler's drag-and-drop interface will be discussed and illustrated multiple disciplines like electrical, mechanical, thermal, biochemical, and other fields. BYOL for hands-on exercises, no prior knowledge of this modeling tool is necessary. Extended trial licenses will be available to attendees.
