Electromagnetism and its applications in science and technology. Topics: Maxwell's equations; electromagnetic waves (e.g., light, microwaves, etc.); wave propagation through media discontinuity; transmission lines, waveguides, and microwave circuits; radiation and antennae; interactions between elec...

This course is a follow-on to ENG-SCI 155 and continues to develop the fundamentals of information systems in the real world. It focuses on the analysis and manipulation of signals in the time and frequency domains in the context of authentic applications. Topics include: the sampling theorem, convo...

Concepts of condensed matter physics are applied to the science and technology of beyond-CMOS devices, in particular, mesoscale, low-dimensional, and superconducting devices. Topics include: quantum dots/wires/wells and two-dimensional (2D) materials; optoelectronics with confined electrons; conduct...

Topics in linear algebra that frequently arise in applications, especially in the analysis of large data sets: linear equations, eigenvalue problems, linear differential equations, principal component analysis, singular value decomposition; data mining and machine learning methods: clustering (unsup...

Ecology and the Design World (Max Piana): This course introduces Landscape Architecture students to the fundamentals of ecological science. We will use urban ecology and the social-ecological-systems framework as a lens through which to interpret human-influenced landscapes, assess ecological m...

The way we design and operate buildings plays a central role in our health, due to both the time we spend indoors and the climate-impact of the energy used to power our buildings. This course, cross-listed between Harvard Graduate School of Design and Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, seeks t...

At the critical intersection where the built environment meets human vulnerability, care is an urgent spatial and clinical practice, and a systemic challenge. From overcrowded hospital corridors to intimate domestic settings, from community mutual aid networks to urban clinical networks—care is medi...

Introduction to computer-controlled robotic manipulators. Topics include coordinate frames and transformations, forward and inverse kinematic solutions to open-chain manipulators, the Jacobian, dynamics and control, and motion planning. In addition, special topics will be introduced such as computer...

Biology is undergoing an exciting transformation into a highly quantitative science. This quantitative and systems-level perspective underpins the emerging field of synthetic biology and efforts to design and engineer biological systems. The main focus of this course is the close reading a...
