25.103 Environmental BiotechnologyCredits: 3
This UML TEAMS Academy course will investigate the chemical and biological impact of human activity on aquatic environments. A specific focus of this course will be to observe the behavior of microorganisms impacted by pollutants introduced into the environment by humans. Students will explore possible engineering solutions to alleviate the problems caused by pollutants. This course can be described as "inquiry based discovery" and will rely heavily on laboratory investigations and laboratory based projects analyzing environmental samples collected in the field.
This course is open only to high school students accepted to the UML-TEAMS Academy.
Instructor permission required.
25.107 Introduction To Engineering ICredits: 2
This course provides a hands-on introduction to engineering and the engineering design process. Through assignments and projects, students learn how to: identify a problem, develop alternative solutions, select the best alternative, make critical decisions, and work as a team. The course is intended for freshmen in all engineering majors and provides an overview of the different engineering disciplines. Lecture and lab component.
25.108 Introduction To Engineering IICredits: 2
This course is intended for first-year engineering students and provides an introduction to technical communications, teamwork and other skills. Topics vary depending on the department and include data analysis, computer-aided drafting/design/modeling program usage, report-writing and/or oral presentation. Depending on the department, software introduced may include Excel, PowerPoint, AutoCad, Matlab and/or MathCad. Team-based labs and projects may be employed. Students should enroll in the sections corresponding to their major or intended department to develop relevant skills.
25.130 Introduction to Nano-EngineeringCredits: 3
The multi-billion dollar investment in nanoscience and nanotechnology is beginning to yield new products, including better sunscreens and wear-resistance materials. "Introduction to Nano-Engineering" is as overview of engineering at the nanoscale, including measurement techniques, nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, design of nanodevices, nanomanufacturing, and the societal impact of nanotechnology. "Lecture" material is accompanied by open-ended questions for chat-room discussion and five virtual laboratories. Targeted for the general public. This is an interdisciplinary course.
25.150 Bat Engineering DesignCredits: 3
UML -TEAMS Academy students will design a composite baseball bat from inception through construction and testing. Students will explore topics in mechanical engineering, physics, materials science, and statistics as they use the engineering design process and scientific method to explore and test various factors that will affect the bat's performance. Students will fabricate bats using composite materials and will compare their bat's performance to their peers and to the design goal.
This course is open only to High School students accepted to the UML-TEAMS Academy.
Instructor Permission required.
25.151 Assistive Technology & ElectronicsCredits: 3
UML-TEAMS Academy students will explore basic electronics physics in a hands-on laboratory environment. Students will apply their knowledge as thewy learn how to breadboard, test, and troubleshoot a series of lab projects. Students will use CAD tools as they learn how to fabricate printed circuit boards. The course culminates with groups projects that apply the engineering design process and electronics to design and build a product for disabled clients in our community.
This course is open only to high school students accepted to the UML-TEAMS Academy.
Instructor permission required.
