ME 12AX: Painting Engaging Stories
This course is an introduction to the practice of fine art as the catalyst for engaging in your everyday story. Using watercolor techniques students will investigate how the practice of fine art enhances your capacity to refocus and amplifies your ability to engage in the artistic expression of your story and the stories around you.
nDiscover how to apply painting techniques to make your observations and reflections a daily commitment through the studio driven methods of art and psychology. This course is designed to introduce students to multiple practices in the fine art of painting, using media such as water color, ink, and painting transfers. With an emphasis on aesthetics and the applied psychology of everyday experience, students will have the opportunity to increase their creative confidence. Work is designed to enhance your attention and sensory appreciation to everyday experiences, in-class and during short field trips.

ME 17: The Science of Flames
This course is about what causes flames to look like they do and about what causes them to propagate. The physical and chemical phenomena that govern behaviors of flames will constitute the topics for discussion. The basic principles that govern flame phenomena include the conservation of mass, the first law of thermodynamics, and the momentum principle. Since flame processes are controlled by the rates of chemical reactions, these basic principles will be applied when account is made for the chemical transformations that occur when reactant bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, producing combustion products. In essence, this course serves as an introduction to combustion science.
