If you’re looking at some classes to take this summer, the two classes that I have attached flyers for are GREAT OPTIONS! 

KIP1500: Foundations of Kinesiology is a required class that will introduce you to the various sub-disciplines of kinesiology and focus heavily on the core program areas of exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor control/learning.


KIP3700: Lifetime Fitness is a class that  introduces you to facets encompassing personal health & fitness and offers guidance to make lifestyle decisions to maintain or improve health status. This class is helpful for those that are looking to work with patients and changing their lifestyle choices (which is most of you!!)

Outdoor Sculpture Moves online – FA2110

Hello Students,

I’m excited to announce that my class, Outdoor Sculpture (Track B, HASS, 3 credits) will move online this summer.

 
Outdoor SculptureFA2110Summer Track B, 3 Credits, HASS
The class focuses on making works of art outside. And — because of the world we’re in — it will also include many opportunities for creating connections with community (even at a distance). We’ll learn from environmental artists and from artists whose work brings people together, and you’ll make your own works of art, wherever you are. 
There are no prerequisites.

No experience is necessary, and very few tools are required.. This is a HASS class. Everyone is welcome. Please see the attached flier for more information. 
All the best,


Lisa Johnson de Gordillo

Computing Learning Center (CCLC) Is Available Online

The Michigan Tech Provost has issued guidance that due to MTU’s new COVID-19 policy, all university learning centers must remain closed to physical sessions.

The College of Computing Learning Center will be available online and staffed by undergraduate coaches according to the Spring 2020 schedule: (https://www.mtu.edu/computing/labs-facilities/cclc/).

We will maintain our online presence in two ways:

1. Zoom. We will use the following Zoom meeting as a landing point for students seeking help from Learning Center coaches: https://michigantech.zoom.us/j/654452233. In this space, coaches will assess a student’s needs and either provide quick pointers or invite the student(s) into a Zoom meeting room for more targeted tutoring.

2. Canvas. We are setting up a special Canvas page where we can share information with students. We plan on posting short tutorials and quizzes to help students review topics required for their courses. If you have information you would like posted on our Canvas page, please send it to myself or Bonnie Henderson (bhenders@mtu.edu).

Students can self-enroll in the CCLC Canvas page here: https://mtu.instructure.com/enroll/KWFTJ9

After that, link directly to the CCLC Canvas page here: https://mtu.instructure.com/courses/1265465

The CCLC coaches are looking forward to helping the campus community in new ways during this challenging time. Please be patient as we get things up and running.

Please direct any questions about the CCLC to Leo Ureel (ureel@mtu.edu) or Bonnie Henderson (bhenders@mtu.edu).

BME – New Course

BME is offering a new course:  

Numerical Techniques in BME   3 credits

BE4930 section 1 – open to juniors/seniors

BE5930 section 1 – open to graduate students

This course will cover the mathematical and computational techniques that are commonly used during the design of medical devices, including the numerical solutions of linear and differential equations, optimization techniques, finite analysis and finite difference methods, approximation and curve fitting methodologies and search algorithms.  Applications of these techniques to real life problems will be demonstrated.  At the conclusion of the class, students will be able to first translate a problem that is stated in English into a mathematical format, and then use the knowledge that they gained during the class to solve the problem using their computational skills.
