25.501 Engineering for TeachersCredits: 3
The course will focus on increasing teachers' understanding of the Engineering Design Process. The linkage between science, engineering and technology will be discovered as teachers engage in a variety of home-based projects requiring them to apply design principles to the building, testing and evaluating of prototypes. Teachers will also gain knowledge of the various fields of engineering. Through their participation in the course, teachers will discuss how they might integrate engineering-technology concepts with other areas of their curriculum.
25.550 Introduction to NanotechnologyCredits: 3
This course will cover introductions toseveral different regression methods used in environmental and occupational epidemiology to model exposure-response relationships. Topics include Poisson regression, Cox proportional hazards models, and nonparametric regression based on smoothed functions of exposure. Students should haveworking familiarity with STATA or SAS.
Prerequisite: 19.674 or equivalent.
25.551 Nanomanufacturing ICredits: 3
The objective is to provide an interdisciplinary nanomanufacturing course for a student population with diverse scientific and engineering backgrounds. Co-taught by faculty from Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the University of New Hampshire, this course is offered as a separate course number at each university. The course will be team taught in segments that are focused in four areas: 1) directed self assembly, 2) advanced micro and nano fabrication techniques, 3) nanoscale polymer and composite processing and 4) environmentally benign nanomanufacturing and worker safety. Each segment will include fundamental concepts in addition to more advanced topics in nanomanfacturing.
25.570 Selected Issues in NanomanfacturingCredits: 0
A seminar course that examines the issues associated with high rate template-based nanomanufacturing, including: technologies for nanoscale templates, high rate assembly of nanoelements and polymer systems, registration at the nanoscale, interfacing with biological systems, measurement of nanoelements, and molecular modeling. Environmental, regulatory, and ethical issues associated with new technologies are also addressed. The course is co-taught by faculty from Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the University of New Hampshire. Meeting dates: January 27, February 10, February 24, March 10, March 24, and April 7. Time: 12:00 to 3:30, including lunch.
25.710 Dynamics of Industrial ManagementCredits: 1.5
