<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; color:#000000rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: inherit;">This course will examine five emerging technologies (stem cells in regenerative medicine, quantum computing, water purification, new batteries, etc.) over two weeks each. The first of the two weeks will present the basic science underlying the emerging technology; the second of the two weeks will discuss the hurdles that must be addressed successfully to convert a good scientific concept into a commercial product that addresses needs in the market place.</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: inherit;"></span></span><span style="font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; color: rgb(86, 86, 86); font-family: ProximaNova-Semibold, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">PHYS&nbsp;22600. Electronics. 100 Units.</span> The goal of this hands-on experimental course is to develop confidence, understanding, and design ability in modern electronics. This is not a course in the physics of semiconductors. In two lab sessions a week, we explore the properties of diodes, transistors, amplifiers, operational amplifiers, oscillators, field effect transistors, logic gates, digital circuits, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, phase-locked loops, and more. Lectures supplement the lab. <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">BIOS&nbsp;11140. Biotechnology for the 21st Century. 100 Units.</span> This course is designed to provide a stimulating introduction to the world of biotechnology. Starting with an overview of the basic concepts of molecular biology and genetics that serve as a foundation for biotechnology, the course will segue into the various applied fields of biotechnology. Topics will include microbial biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology, biofuels, cloning, bioremediation, medical biotechnology, DNA fingerprinting and forensics. The goal of this course is to provide the Biology non-majors with an appreciation of important biotechnology breakthroughs and the associated bioethics issues   </span></spanstyle="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: inherit;">This course will examine five emerging technologies (stem cells in regenerative medicine, quantum computing, water purification, new batteries, etc.) over two weeks each.
