This class is an introduction to the basic operation of a scanning electron microscope. The basic operating principles will be covered and the attendees will be trained on the use of the microscope.
The microscope is a new JEOL 6610 LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) with several advanced features:
This is a training class but anyone interested in these modern research tools is welcome to attend.
Attendees are encouraged to bring samples for exploration and will operate the microscope as part of the class.

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 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.

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.
