ENGR 30: Engineering Thermodynamics
The basic principles of thermodynamics are introduced in this course. Concepts of energy and entropy from elementary considerations of the microscopic nature of matter are discussed. The principles are applied in thermodynamic analyses directed towards understanding the performances of engineering systems. Methods and problems cover socially responsible economic generation and utilization of energy in central power generation plants, solar systems, refrigeration devices, and automobile, jet and gas-turbine engines.

ENGR 40C: Engineering Wireless Networks
A hands on introduction to the design and implementation of modern wireless networks. Via a quarter long project on programmable radios, students will learn the fundamentals of wireless channels, encoding and decoding information, modeling of errors and error recovery algorithms, and the engineering of packet-switched networks. These concepts will be used to illustrate general themes in EE and CS: the role of abstraction and modularity in engineering design, building reliable systems using imperfect components, understanding the limits imposed by energy and noise, choosing effective representations for information, and engineering tradeoffs in complex systems.

GEOPHYS 20N: Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
Preference to sophomores. The physics and chemistry of volcanic processes and modern methods of volcano monitoring. Volcanoes as manifestations of the Earth's internal energy and hazards to society. How earth scientists better forecast eruptive activity by monitoring seismic activity, bulging of the ground surface, and the discharge of volcanic gases, and by studying deposits from past eruptions. Focus is on the interface between scientists and policy makers and the challenges of decision making with incomplete information. Field trip to Mt. St. Helens, site of the 1980 eruption.
