Class Number	Class	Meeting Time	Instructor	Room	Unreserved Enrollment	Reserved Enrollment	Total Enrollment	Wait List
15111	APPL 60 - 001 First-Year Seminar: Tree. Timber. Totem	TuTh 12:30PM - 1:45PM	RICHARD SUPERFINE	Venable Hall-Rm G311	1/3	Seats filled	1/3
Description: Students will engage with their inquiry through a combination of literature-based research from primary sources, writing and the creation of an object from wood in the university makerspace. In addition, students will choose to present their inquiry from a mode of their choice including class presentation, creating a video, interviewing someone who studies or uses wood or trees, or a mode of their own design. 3 units.
12741	APPL 89 - 002 First-Year Seminar: Special Topics	TuTh 11:00AM - 12:15PM	Ronit Freeman	Hanes Art Center-Rm 0117	0/3	Seats filled	0/3	0/999
Description: Special topics course. Content will vary each semester. 3 units.
9434	APPL 101 - 001 Exploring Engineering	TuTh 12:30PM - 1:45PM	Richard Goldberg	Genome Sciences Bui-Rm G010	61/72	Seats filled	61/72	0/999
Description: Engineers help to design and build solutions to the world's problems. This course will explore some of the fundamental skills and tools in engineering. You will write software to develop computational models and measure data from low fidelity prototypes of real world systems. You will interpret these results to improve system designs. You will also explore topics in biomimicry and sustainable engineering. Throughout the class, you will develop strong professional and communication skills. 3 units.

10033	APPL 110 - 001 Design and Making for Engineers: Developing Your Personal Design Potential	TuTh 9:30AM - 10:45AM	Nicolas Pégard	Genome Sciences Bui-Rm G010	Seats filled	Seats filled	72/72	27/999
Description: Students work in flexible, interdisciplinary teams to assess opportunities, brainstorm, and prototype solutions. Students design their solutions to meet a set of specifications, while also considering the user's needs. Design thinking and physical prototyping skills are developed through fast-paced, iterative exercises in a variety of contexts and environments. 3 units.

9403	APPL 465 - 001 Engineering of Soft Materials: SpongeBob Squarepants and Other Squishy Things	TuTh 11:00AM - 12:15PM	Daphne Klotsa	Morehead Chemistry -Rm 0213	19/24	Seats filled	19/24	0/999
Description: What kind of material is Sponge Bob? What about his pet snail, Gary? We are taught that there are solids, liquids, and gases. However, some materials challenge this description, such as foams, plastics, pastes, skin, hair, and nails. These are soft materials, and they are everywhere: sunscreen, insulation, and car tires. In this course, we will learn about soft materials' properties, how they are processed in industry, and how to design novel soft materials. 3 units.
