Students analyze the theory and practice of international affairs and acquire practice in designing an independent research project. Topics vary with faculty expertise, and have included war and political violence; global environmental issues, social mobilization and protest, and development, race, and gender. IA 501 further prepares students for their international experience and helps them design individualized research topics for their capstone project in IA 701. This course must be taken before IA 701 and in most cases, before the student undertakes an international experience.

Class Size: 25
CRN: 50774

Around the world, policymakers, businesses, and communities face wide-ranging challenges and opportunities that are place-specific, yet global in scope. In this IA capstone seminar, students will learn how to investigate global issues, analyze their manifestations in different social, cultural, and political contexts, and formulate data-driven recommendations. Drawing upon their international experience, second language skills, and IA course work, students will complete individual capstone research projects and present their findings at the annual Undergraduate Research Conference.

Grade Mode: Letter Grading

Class Size: 20
CRN: 51614

An application driven introduction to computer-aided problem solving leveraging foundational knowledge in engineering and the physical sciences. Engineering applications are used to motivate the computational methods needed in scientific and engineering disciplines. Numerical methods, including the basic LU algorithm, one-dimensional root finding methods, and numerical differentiation and integration, are introduced as useful computational tools for tackling a broad range of engineering and scientific applications and to provide concrete and contextual programming experiences. MATLAB is used, with topics including scripts, functions, logical expressions, conditional statements, looping, data visualization, plotting, and recursion presented within the framework provided by both the numerical methods and the scientific or engineering problems. Laboratory included.
