2.678 Electronics for Mechanical Systems
______

Undergrad (Fall, Spring)
Prereq: Physics II (GIR)
Units: 2-2-2

______
Practical introduction to the fundamentals of electronics in the context of electro-mechanical systems, with emphasis on experimentation and project work in basic electronics. Laboratory exercises include the design and construction of simple electronic devices, such as power supplies, amplifiers, op-amp circuits, switched mode dc-dc converters, and dc motor drivers. Surveys embedded microcontrollers as system elements. Laboratory sessions stress the understanding of electronic circuits at the component level, but also point out the modern approach of system integration using commercial modules and specialized integrated circuits. Enrollment may be limited due to laboratory capacity; preference to Course 2 majors and minors.
Fall: D. Frey, S. Banzaert

2.688 Principles of Oceanographic Instrument Systems -- Sensors and Measurements
______

Graduate (Fall)
Prereq: 2.671 and 18.075
Units: 3-3-6
Remove from schedule Lecture: TR10.30-12 (54-827) Lab: T2.30-5.30 (54-827)
______
Introduces theoretical and practical principles of design of oceanographic sensor systems. Transducer characteristics for acoustic, current, temperature, pressure, electric, magnetic, gravity, salinity, velocity, heat flow, and optical devices. Limitations on these devices imposed by ocean environment. Signal conditioning and recording; noise, sensitivity, and sampling limitations; standards. Principles of state-of-the-art systems being used in physical oceanography, geophysics, submersibles, acoustics discussed in lectures by experts in these areas. Day cruises in local waters during which the students will prepare, deploy and analyze observations from standard oceanographic instruments constitute the lab work for this subject.

21A.303[J] The Anthropology of Biology
______

Not offered academic year 2025-2026Undergrad (Fall) HASS Social Sciences
(Same subject as STS.060[J])
Prereq: None
Units: 3-0-9
Remove from schedule Lecture: F1-4 (66-156)
______
Applies the tools of anthropology to examine biology in the age of genomics, biotechnological enterprise, biodiversity conservation, pharmaceutical bioprospecting, and synthetic biology. Examines such social concerns such as bioterrorism, genetic modification, and cloning. Offers an anthropological inquiry into how the substances and explanations of biology — ecological, organismic, cellular, molecular, genetic, informatic — are changing. Examines such artifacts as cell lines, biodiversity databases, and artificial life models, and using primary sources in biology, social studies of the life sciences, and literary and cinematic materials, asks how we might answer Erwin Schrodinger's 1944 question, "What Is Life?", today.
