48866	Lecture	A	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Miller, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/20-05/06/20 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Topic: Tree Thinking: An introduction to Phylogenetic Biology. Description: This discussion group will provide an introduction to phylogenetics and its importance in modern biology. Phylogenetics has a myriad of applications in biology, from discovering the features present in ancestral organisms, to finding the sources of invasive species and infectious diseases, to identifying our closest relatives. We will focus on introducing participants to the interpretation of phylogenetic trees, how these trees can be reconstructed, and how they can be used to answer biological questions. No prior knowledge regarding tree-building or phylogenetic methods is required and we welcome any undergrad, graduate students or post-docs with an interest in learning more about this fundamental area of biology.
65854	Lecture	AW3	3:30PM -5:20PM	TR	2020B Natural History Building	Alleyne, M Wissa, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/20-05/06/20 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Bio-Inspired Design Section Info: ME 498/IB496 offers a unique interdisciplinary advanced design experience in the field of bioinspiration. During the course we will cover four focus areas: locomotion, sensing, materials, and complex systems. For each topic, we will discuss the state of the art on engineering side and the solutions in nature that can augment the current engineering systems. By the end of the course you should be able to work in interdisciplinary teams, use analogical design concepts, and produce a prototype based on a biological function to solve an engineering challenge in one of the four focus areas. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
