Undergraduate Special Subject in Mechanical Engineering Iterative Interaction Design Maria Yang, Tiffany Tseng Mon-Fri, Jan 12-16, 20-23, 26-30, ??-??:00am Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS. Enter lottery by: 26-Dec-2014 Limited to 15 participants. No listeners Prereq: Level: U 6 units Standard A - F Grading Can be repeated for credit Lecture, seminar or laboratory course consisting of material not offered in regularly scheduled subjects. Can be repeated for credit only for completely different subject matter. 2.S972-2.S974 are graded P/D/F. 2.S97 is a hands-on bootcamp in interaction design where students will work in groups to develop interactive physical computing projects. We will specifically emphasize risk-taking, encouraging students to iterate and experiment on their designs. At the end of the course, each team will have developed several prototypes leading up to a final project. Students will learn about need finding, ideation techniques, rapid prototyping, digital fabrication, and electronics (Arduino). This class is open to undergraduate students from all majors ??? we will encourage multidisciplinary teams! See the Course Catalog for schedule information. Register: a) Pre-register on WebSIS b) Apply by midnight on 12/20 at http://bit.ly/1CJzeln Web: http://web.mit.edu/ideation/2.S97/ Contact: 2.s97-2015-request@mit.ed |

2.S972
Undergraduate Special Subject in Mechanical Engineering Coastal marine communities of New England Chryssostomos Chryssostomidis, Carolina Bastidas, Juliet Simpson Tue, Thu-Fri, Jan 6, 8, 13, 15-16, 20, 22, 27, 29, ??-??:00am Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS. Enter lottery by: 20-Dec-2014 Limited to 20 participants. No listeners Prereq: Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F Can be repeated for credit Lecture, seminar or laboratory course consisting of material not offered in regularly scheduled subjects. Can be repeated for credit only for completely different subject matter. 2.S972-2.S974 are graded P/D/F. Combining lectures and visits to field and research centers, participants will be introduced to marine communities found along the coast of New England and how do they look around the globe. The emphasis will be on the ecology of salt marshes and rocky shores and on the biology of their representative organisms. At the end, participants would recognize common inhabitants of these two communities, major environmental factors affecting them, and the types of ecological services that these communities provide us. Application for lottery required! Limited to 20, signup by emailing Bastidas@mit.edu. Dates: Jan 5th ??? 30th Tu/Th + REQUIRED Field Trip on Friday, Jan 16, 9-5. See Course Catalog for schedule.

Do not pre-register on WebSIS. Enter lottery by: 20-Dec-2014 Limited to 16 participants. No listeners Prereq: Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F Can be repeated for credit Lecture, seminar or laboratory course consisting of material not offered in regularly scheduled subjects. Can be repeated for credit only for completely different subject matter. 2.S972-2.S974 are graded P/D/F. Wish the labs in your high school science class had been more interesting? Feel like there were not enough hands-on projects in your K-12 education? Spend your IAP changing that for local K-12 students by designing your own Arduino based educational projects. The course will introduce Arduino microcontrollers and basic computer programming; engineering design; basic circuits; and the landscape of engineering in K-12 Education. You will work with local educators and students to inform your projects. No prior experience necessary. Preference will be given to freshmen. Project materials will be provided. Limited to 16 participants, preference given to freshmen and early registrants. You must fill out the form (link below) to pre-register.
