16.6621[J] Introduction to Design Thinking and Innovation in Engineering

(, ); first half of term
(Same subject as 2.7231[J], 6.9101[J])
Prereq: None
Units: 2-0-1 [P/D/F]
Ends Oct 25. Lecture: M EVE (7-9 PM) (32-141) Recitation: M EVE (9 PM) (32-123)

Introduces students to concepts of design thinking and innovation that can be applied to any engineering discipline. Focuses on introducing an iterative design process, a systems-thinking approach for stakeholder analysis, methods for articulating design concepts, methods for concept selection, and techniques for testing with users. Provides an opportunity for first-year students to explore product or system design and development, and to build their understanding of what it means to lead and coordinate projects in engineering design. Subject can count toward the 6-unit discovery-focused credit limit for first-year students. Enrollment limited to 25; priority to first-year students.

(Subject meets with 7.81[J], 8.591[J])
Prereq: (18.03 and 18.05) or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR1-2.30 (4-159) Recitation: W EVE (4.30-6 PM) (2-147) +final

Introduction to cellular and population-level systems biology with an emphasis on synthetic biology, modeling of genetic networks, cell-cell interactions, and evolutionary dynamics. Cellular systems include genetic switches and oscillators, network motifs, genetic network evolution, and cellular decision-making. Population-level systems include models of pattern formation, cell-cell communications, and evolutionary systems biology. Students taking graduate version explore the subject in more depth.
