Inside the Classroom
Playing Solitaire to learn numerical methods. Building, simulating and racing a miniature model car to understand robotics. Exploring how to make materials from particle-based processes. Faculty are working to immerse students in interdisciplinary learning at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾. These videos take viewers inside some of ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾'s classrooms and labs, with professors engaging students in both research and the learning process and encouraging curiosity.
Introduction to Robotics
ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Professor Rosa Zheng teaches a five-week Introduction to Robotics class for first-year engineering students as part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department lab course. Here, students learn to build, simulate and race a one-tenth scale Ford Fiesta.
Mechatronics
Commonly known as the senior lab, Mechanical Engineering 207 introduces different types of mechanics to engineering majors. In this video, assistant professor Ebru Demir teaches the mechatronics portion of the semester.
The Fundamentals of Drawing
Deirdre Murphy, teaching assistant professor in art, architecture and design, instructs ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ students on the fundamentals of drawing in her Drawing One course. The course is available to any student interested in building skills in drawing from observation.
Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics
Hannah Dailey '02 '06G '09G, an associate professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾, teaches numerical methods by mixing what students are learning with games such as Solitaire to help make a fun and tangible connection.
Making Materials from Particle-based Processes
James Gilchrist, the Ruth H. and Sam Madrid Professor of chemical and biological engineering at ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾, runs the Laboratory for Particle Mixing and Self-Organization. The lab explores making materials from particle-based processes.
