Abstract: This module will review the presentation and findings associated with acute appendicitis, as well as other pathophysiologic entities in the right lower quadrant. WISE-MD is a required, case-based, multidisciplinary, self-study online resource within the surgery clerkship. It is employed 1) as a model that provides core surgical knowledge, decision-making, intellectual aspects of skills, and professional competency, and 2) a primer for operating room experiences. In actual use it consists of two parts: Part 1 is an enactment of the patient-physician interaction including: topic fundamentals, history, physical examination, laboratory and imaging studies, decision-making, surgery, and post-operative care. Key instructional features include rich media-enhanced expositions, annotated imaging studies, and animated three-dimensional models juxtaposed with real surgical footage. Links to related material encourage a deeper exploration of topics, providing an adaptive and customizable curriculum. Basic science concepts are easily incorporated, emphasizing their relevance to clinical science and to surgical decision-making.

Abstract: Machine Structures - Fall 2007. The CS61 series is an introduction to computer science, with particular emphasis on software and on machines from a programmer's point of view. The first two courses considered programming at a high level of abstraction, introducing a range of programming paradigms and common techniques. This course, the last in the series, concentrates on machines and how they carry out the programs you write. The main topics of CS61C involve the low-level system software and the hardware organization of a "logical machine" — not the actual electronic circuits, but the computational operations that those circuits carry out. To make these ideas concrete, you will study the structure of a particular computer, the MIPS R2000 processor, in some detail, down to the level of the design of the processor's on-chip components. Some of this study involves programming in assembly language. In real life, you'll probably never actually write programs at this level, but for us it serves as a vehicle for teaching about computer architecture.
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: 16.885J offers an holistic view of the aircraft as a system, covering: basic systems engineering; cost and weight estimation; basic aircraft performance; safety and reliability; lifecycle topics; aircraft subsystems; risk analysis and management; and system realization. Small student teams retrospectively analyze an existing aircraft covering: key design drivers and decisions; aircraft attributes and subsystems; and operational experience. Oral and written versions of the case study are delivered. For the Fall 2005 term, the class focuses on a systems engineering analysis of the Space Shuttle. It offers study of both design and operations of the shuttle, with frequent lectures by outside experts. Students choose specific shuttle systems for detailed analysis and develop new subsystem designs using state of the art technology.

Abstract: Welcome to the NROC Introductory Algebra course. This curriculum emphasizes a multi-representational approach to algebra, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed graphically, analytically, and verbally. It develops algebraic fluency by providing students with the skills needed to solve equations and perform important manipulations with numbers, variables, equations, and inequalities. In addition, the course develops proficiency with operations involving monomial and polynomial expressions. The main unifying themes of the course include understanding, writing, solving, and graphing linear equations, systems of linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, and rational equations.
