ETK 607 - Learning Designs
Unit(s): 3
We have all heard the maxim that “good teaching is good teaching.” But how do the precepts of pedagogy change when our classrooms no longer look the way they did twenty years ago? In Learning Designs, we explore how to adapt and apply the best practices of curriculum design to 21st century classrooms. We focus on effective techniques for increasing engagement, designing authentic assessment, sparking meaningful collaboration, and differentiating instruction for 1:1, flipped, blended, and online classes.

ETK 614 - Navigating the Divide: Digital Leadership
Unit(s): 3
Like it or not the rapid development of technology has created a series of divides: those with access and those without; those who are comfortable with technology and those who are not; those who enjoy integrating technology into their work and those who are happy with the tools they have always used. Navigating this divide can be both challenging and rewarding. In this course we explore how digital technologies can help solve key pedagogical problems, as well as create opportunities for new effective pedagogical practices. We start the journey of exploring what digital technologies mean for transforming academic environments.

ENGR 242 - Intro Structural Engineering
Unit(s): 4
This course introduces students to structural engineering principles and logic. While gaining familiarity with fundamental principles, students start to experience structural analysis and design as an integral part of the overall design process rather than something that happens in isolation from other project considerations. Student projects allow the development of a physical intuition for engineering concepts, while weekly problem sets, quizzes and exams provide exercise with the technical concepts. Virtual and/or in-person field trips may include structural testing labs or a local structure or project of interest. As earthquakes are the single greatest engineering concern in California, these site visits specifically focus on the search for balance between stiffness and flexibility in building design.

ENGL 201 - Narratives of U.S. America
Unit(s): 4
The objective of this class is to demonstrate how creative expression through the literary arts is key to the understanding, formation, and self-definition of communities across the United States of America. Students will articulate theories and concepts of critical diversity into the realm of literary production and how they develop, register, and disseminate relationships of power and/or meaning in an artistic medium.
The history of U.S. America is framed by the movement of people across land and space: Colonization and Slavery, Manifest Destiny, Western Expansion, and Immigration. This course will trace the genealogies of travel, displacement and migration in literary representations of US America and its mapping of alternate geographies and narrative identities. In other words, we will examine the role played by literature in imagining and interpreting the uncertainties of geographical displacement, colonialism, the material transformation of minority communities, and the ongoing shaping of their identities. Discussions will be based on themes such as the role of literature and the imaginative reconstruction of the past and careful rendition of social realities; the contrasts, connections and intersections with the historical roots and literary traditions of the US and the rest of the continent; the broader debates on the imagining of US history and the Americas as a whole.
This class aims to achieve a broader and more complex understanding of the roots of US America through the understanding of the literary and cultural expressions of its historically marginalized groups and their echoes and dialogues with dominant cultural expressions.
