Dinosaurs are unique in the history of life. They evolved more than 200 million years ago, inhabited every continent, and are still around today. This course provides an overview of the world of dinosaurs, from the earliest small dinosaurs to titanosaurs and T. rex to modern birds, and investigates some of the most fascinating questions in dinosaur paleontology: How did … [Read more...] about Dinosaurs: Evolution, Extinction, and Paleobiology

Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing
p is inversely proportional to the pipe diameter. This means that as the diameter increases, the pressure drop decreases. The constant of proportionality is the friction factor. This concept behind pipe hydraulics is brought up very well in this course. The friction factor for turbulent flow is different from laminar flow. The former is a function of the Reynolds number and … [Read more...] about Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing
Storytelling with Kumu
In this project-based course, you will use Kumu to create a relationship map about the life & ideas of physicist and philosopher David Bohm, inspired by the documentary Infinite Potential. By doing so, you will implement advanced functionalities using Kumu's Advanced Editor; and create an interactive presentation based on your map to tell Bohm's story. This project brings … [Read more...] about Storytelling with Kumu
Human Predicament Complex Modeling
The convergence of different crises pressuring the world today is probably one of the most complex human-made phenomena we can observe. From biodiversity loss to the threat to democracy, all of these crises are deeply intertwined. Therefore, tools from the complexity and systems-thinking toolsets become very relevant for anyone seeking to have a slight grasp of what is going on … [Read more...] about Human Predicament Complex Modeling
Cybersecurity Capstone Project
This course presents an intensive experience during which students build a software system they intend to be secure, and then attempt to show that other students' projects are insecure, by finding flaws in them. A Note on Capstone Frequency: Please note that sessions of this Cybersecurity Capstone Project only run 3-4 times a year, depending on course team availability and … [Read more...] about Cybersecurity Capstone Project
