CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
58523	Lecture-Discussion	FFE	2:00PM -3:15PM	TR	2320 Digital Computer Laboratory	Levinson, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/28/17-12/13/17 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Foundations & Frontiers of Eng Section Info: ENG 298: Foundations and Frontiers of Engineering. It is widely thought that Science is concerned only with the physical world. Yet, for the last 80 years, significant effort has been devoted to adapting the principles and methods of the physical sciences to the life and social sciences. Although this work is in its early stages, it is already clear that Science can directly address such human concerns as the nature of mental and social reality. This course examines the origins, methodology, and implications of these developing mathematical theories. Each class will consist of a short (20 minute) lecture followed by open discussion of the assigned readings. Course grades will be based on weekly one page essays on the assigned subject and a final research paper on any relevant topic. The course is primarily a history of ideas course. It is recommended for all Engineering, iFoundry and iEFX students with at least one semester of calculus and physics, or sufficiently strong high school preparation or AP credit in these areas.
