This course on Business and Technological Leadership is normally taught by a senior level corporate executive with broad experience who serves as the Brenton S. Halsey Distinguished Visiting Professor of Chemical Engineering and Related Disciplines. The instructor provides experienced insight on business and professional issues likely to be faced by engineers early in their careers. The course normally covers major business skills and competencies in career management, leadership, working in teams, problem solving, and change management as well as international issues facing global companies. Guest speakers will provide additional insights on theses topics.

A hands-on introduction to nanoscience for students of all majors: Microfabrication, nanoscale chemical and biological self-assembly, applications, technological and ethical challenges; Labs ranging from use of scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopes to DNA fingerprinting. Lecture/discussion meeting + one lab. For first two weeks of registration, enrollment will be limited to 1st and 2nd years (then opened to all).

This is the second in a two-semester course sequence for first-year SEAS undergraduates. Students will engage in an open-ended authentic design project that is performed as part of a team. Technical writing is emphasized, as is designing for social responsibility. Students will develop skills for prototyping, data analysis, and modeling. Restricted to First-Year Engineering Students or Instructor's Consent

Special Topics in Engineering.

Synthesis Design II extends students' journey started in ENGR 1410 Synthesis Design I, a journey focused on developing effective and intentional human-centered engineering design mindsets and behaviors.  The distinguishing feature is a client-based project which directly engages students with how engineers can impact people and how people can impact engineers while advancing their design, teamwork, and communication skills.  Prerequisite: first-year Rodman scholar status.

Special tutorial with a topic declared in advance. The topic, work plan, and conditions are arranged by contract between instructor and student and approved by the department Chair, with a copy to be filed in the department office. Instructor's Consent Required.

Students will engage in supervised research in engineering, applying academic knowledge to real-world problems.

Advance projects course to be taken in parallel with STS 4010, 4020, or can be used for an advanced undergraduate course on a topic not covered in the course offerings. Prerequisite: instructor permission.

Special topics in graduate engineering will vary based upon student and faculty interests.
