()
(Same subject as 21H.960[J], STS.860[J])
Prereq: None
Units: 1-0-5
Lecture: W11-1 (E51-165)

Bi-weekly seminar for students in the doctoral program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology & Society (HASTS) who have completed research and are in the process of writing their dissertations.

16.18 Fundamentals of Turbulence

()
Prereq: 2.25 or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR2.30-4 (33-418)

Introduces the fundamentals of turbulent flows, i.e., the chaotic motion of gases and liquids, along with the mathematical tools for turbulence research. Topics range from the classic viewpoint of turbulence to the theories developed in the last decade. Combines theory, data science, and numerical simulations, and is designed for a wide audience in the areas of aerospace, mechanical engineering, geophysics, and astrophysics.

IDS.065[J] Energy Systems for Climate Change Mitigation

()
(Same subject as 1.067[J], 10.421[J])
(Subject meets with 1.670[J], 10.621[J], IDS.521[J])
Prereq: (Calculus I (GIR), Chemistry (GIR), and Physics I (GIR)) or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR11-12.30 (E51-057)

Reviews the contributions of energy systems to global greenhouse gas emissions, and the levers for reducing those emissions. Lectures and projects focus on evaluating energy systems against climate policy goals, using performance metrics such as cost, carbon intensity, and others. Student projects explore pathways for realizing emissions reduction scenarios. Projects address the climate change mitigation potential of energy technologies (hardware and software), technological and behavioral change trajectories, and technology and policy portfolios. Background in energy systems strongly recommended. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments and explore the subject in greater depth. Preference to students in the Energy Studies or Environment and Sustainability minors.

Prereq: None
Units: 1-2-6
Lecture: M EVE (5-7 PM) (14W-111) or W EVE (5-7 PM) (14W-111)

Designed for students who demonstrate considerable technical and musical skills and who wish to develop them through intensive private study. Students must take a weekly lesson, attend a regular performance seminar, and participate in a departmental performing group, and present a 50-minute solo recital at the end of the Spring term. Full-year commitment required. Information about lesson fees, scholarships, and auditions available in Music Section Office. Students taking graduate version complete different assignments.
