This course covers computer programming for designers. Viewing media in the perspective of physical computing and going beyond the limited functionality of the related applications, students will study the necessary tools and scripting interface to be able to actively use media interaction and control. The course utilizes a scripting language open software program called Processing and its related software like Arduino, iCube and python. Students will complete a project, mid-project workshop, and final project presentation.  Topics include basic geometry, Loop 1, Loop 2, generative drawing, random and noise, generative typography, algorithm drawing, and more.

This course helps students to understand theories of comparative religion, placing religious expression and the formation of religious community and social choices in dialog with myth, ritual, politics, and science. The course examines concepts of God, purity, and the structuring of religious worlds.

This course introduces the basic energetic principles governing metabolism and concepts of bioenegetics including discussions on enzymes and regulatory mechanisms in catabolic and anabolic pathways.   

As the second part of Biochemistry 1, Biochemistry 2 covers chemical reactions in biology on the basis of the molecular system. The course examines metabolism of lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrates; the anabolism of lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrates. Topics include gene expression, regulation of prokaryotes and ehkaryotes, protein targeting, protein synthesis, RNA processing, and DNA rearrangement. 

Thie course builds upon Physics 1, continuing to introduce basic concepts in Physics to students majoring in natural science or engineering. The course begins with topics in electromagnetics such as Coulomb's Law, electric fields and potentials. Later topics include circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves. Finally, optics, relativity and basic concepts of modern physics will be introduced.

This course will introduce students to some of the main authors and concepts associated with structuralism, as well as to its legacy in authors and texts that in France came to be known as neostructuralist and elsewhere are most widely known as “poststructuralist.”  

It is probably safe to suggest that the various thinkers and movements that came to be known collectively under the banner of “structuralism” represent one of the most important and influential moments in 20th century European, and particularly French, thought. Although it may be said to find its beginnings in linguistics, structuralist thinking quickly expanded into a wide variety of fields, from anthropology and psychoanalysis to philosophy, aesthetics and literary theory.  

The course focuses upon works that have had an important direct or indirect influence on the aesthetic tradition while exploring how the terms “structuralist” and “poststructuralist” are both highly problematic and contested; as a result, students will examine the various aspects that might make thinking “structuralist,” as well as examining some of the limits that led many thinkers to attempt to move beyond it. 

This course focuses on academic writing, equipping students with a solid foundation regarding its basic components and methods. To this end, students will develop a research project over the course of the semester, starting from the beginning stages of proposing a research topic and question for study, through to the steps of finding and using material from sources, outlining and drafting the paper, and revising and presenting their work. These efforts will culminate in the successful submission of a research paper at the end of the semester. Note: This course assumes that students are familiar with the basic paragraph structure as well as basic essay format—for example, by having taken College English 2: Writing, though this is not a prerequisite nor is it the only way to acquire an understanding of how to write paragraphs and essays. If this is not the case, please be sure to talk with the professor on the first day of class. 

This introductory course examines management information systems (MIS), both in theory and practice. It covers key topics such as enterprise information systems, e-business, IT architectures, database management, and system development. Students develop a deep understanding of MIS and its crucial role in building competitive firms, managing global corporations, and enhancing business value. The course also highlights the importance of MIS in various business functions, including operations, marketing, finance, accounting, and human resources, and demonstrates the use of relevant computer programs and application software.
