- Abstract: This course aims to convey a knowledge of advanced concepts of circuit design for digital VLSI components in state of the art MOS technologies. Emphasis is on the circuit design, optimization, and layout of either very high speed, high density or low power circuits for use in applications such as micro-processors, signal and multimedia processors, memory and periphery. Special attention will devoted to the most important challenges facing digital circuit designers today and in the coming decade, being the impact of scaling, deep sub-micron effects, interconnect, signal integrity, power distribution and consumption, and timing.
This semester, extra focus will be given to the following topics: Low power and low-voltage, process variations and robustness, and memory design in the nanoscale era.

- Abstract: 16.225 is a graduate level course on Computational Mechanics of Materials. The primary focus of this course is on the teaching of state-of-the-art numerical methods for the analysis of the nonlinear continuum response of materials. The range of material behavior considered in this course will include: linear and finite deformation elasticity, inelasticity and dynamics. Numerical formulation and algorithms will include: Variational formulation and variational constitutive updates, finite element discretization, error estimation, constrained problems, time integration algorithms and convergence analysis. There will be a strong emphasis on the (parallel) computer implementation of algorithms in programming assignments. At the beginning of the course, the students will be given the source of a base code with all the elements of a finite element program which constitute overhead and do not contribute to the learning objectives of this course (assembly and equation-solving methods, etc.). Each assignment will consist of formulating and implementing on this basic platform, the increasingly complex algorithms resulting from the theory given in class, as well as in using the code to numerically solve specific problems. The application to real engineering applications and problems in engineering science will be stressed throughout.

- Abstract: This course provides a review of physical, chemical, ecological, and economic principles used to examine interactions between humans and the natural environment. Mass balance concepts are applied to ecology, chemical kinetics, hydrology, and transportation; energy balance concepts are applied to building design, ecology, and climate change; and economic and life cycle concepts are applied to resource evaluation and engineering design. Numerical models are used to integrate concepts and to assess environmental impacts of human activities. Problem sets involve development of MATLAB® models for particular engineering applications. Some experience with computer programming is helpful but not essential.

- Abstract: This intensive micro-subject provides the necessary skills in Excel spreadsheet modeling for ESD.71 Engineering Systems Analysis for Design. Its purpose is to bring entering students up to speed on some of the advanced techniques that we routinely use in analysis. It is motivated by our experience that many students only have an introductory knowledge of Excel, and thus waste a lot of time thrashing about unproductively. Many people think they know Excel, but overlook many efficient tools--such as Data Table and Goal Seek. It is also useful for a variety of other subjects.

- Abstract: During this course, we will be exploring basic questions of architecture through several short design exercises. Working with many different media, students will discover the interrelationship of architecture and its related disciplines, such as structures, sustainability, architectural history and the visual arts. Each problem will focus on one of these disciplines and one exploration and presentation technique.

- Abstract: Examines both the structure of cities and ways they can be changed. Includes historical forces that have produced cities, models of urban analysis, contemporary theories of urban design, implementation strategies. Core lectures supplemented by discussion group focusing on student work. Speakers present cases involving current projects illustrating the scope and methods of urban design practice. This course introduces graduate students to ideas about the form of cities and how they are designed and developed. Part 1 explores the forces which act to shape and to change cities. Part 2 surveys models of urban design which have been invented in response to forces acting on cities.

- Abstract: Why are the Rocky Mountains so far inland? How do we preserve the changing Amazon rain forest? When will the Sun fling parts of itself towards Earth? The video magazine "Journeys through Earth and Space" follows three NASA research teams tackling these questions with supercomputers. "Journeys" begins with a short introduction that explains what supercomputers do and how scientists tap their power to recreate the universe mathematically. The three stories then show how the teams are using their software to better understand, and perhaps one day predict, nature. Researcher interviews mix with scientific imagery (observations, visualizations, animations), and stunning nature footage. An accompanying Video Resource Guide provides background material and classroom activities for Grades 9-12 (length: 18:00 minutes).
