Educational Software Design — CS2277.01

Instructor: justinvasselli@bennington.edu
Credits: 2
The fundamental goal of educational software is to teach or reinforce the user’s knowledge in a specific domain.  The system must be able to adapt to user needs and current level of domain knowledge to be truly effective. In this class, we will be using language learning as the primary domain for exploring the concepts of educational software design. Designing software

Electronics Lab — PHY2213.01

Instructor: Hugh Crowl
Days & Time: MO 1:40pm-5:20pm
Credits: 2

This course will serve as an introduction to working with circuits in a lab setting. We will learn about the relatively simple rules necessary for working with analog circuits and how those rules can be used to build objects of growing complexity. We will then move on to understanding how to build circuits that can measure properties of and interact with their

Dive deep into the world of endocrinology, a critical field of study that explores the body's hormonal systems and their pivotal role in orchestrating various physiological and behavioral processes. This comprehensive course is designed for students with a keen interest in understanding how hormones, the chemical messengers of the body, develop, integrate, and regulate our

Energy and the Environment — ENV2207.01

Instructor: Chelsea Corr
Credits: 4
Access to cheap fossil fuels has fueled advancements that have improved reliable access to food, medicine, and shelter, drastically improving the quality of life for humankind over the past century. Our fossil-fueled society, however, not come without repercussions. The extraction, processing, and burning of fossil fuels has degraded water and air quality, reduced biodiversity

Energy, Entropy and Quantization — CHE2129.01

Instructor: Dor Ben-Amotz
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 4

In this class we will explore the concepts of energy, entropy and quantization to discover how their dancing interplay determines the structure and dynamics of the world around us. Our aim will be to understand the organizing principles that drive all chemical and physical processes. Doing so inevitably involves mathematics, but the associated understanding

Energy, Environment, and Climate — ENV2120.01

Instructor: Tim Schroeder
Days & Time: MO,TH 3:40pm-5:30pm
Credits: 4

The comforts and amenities of modern life require vast inputs of energy to power an industrial society. While the benefits of industrial society are significant, if unevenly shared, the environmental costs of energy extraction and production are significant. These environmental costs are also unevenly shared. This course will cover the
