Quantum Mechanics of Molecular Structures
ADD FREE starts 14 April 2015
Knowing the geometrical structure of the molecules around us is one of the most important and fundamental issues in the field of chemistry. This course introduces the two primary methods used to determine the geometrical structure of molecules: molecular spectroscopy and gas electron diffraction. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand how molecular vibration plays a key role in determining the geometrical structure of molecules, and you’ll gain a fuller understanding of molecular structure from the information obtained by the two methodologies.

Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics: Basic Concepts
ADD FREE starts 26 Mar 2015
During the first four weeks of this course, you’ll examine a new perspective connecting the quantized conductance of short ballistic conductors to the familiar Ohm’s law of long diffusive conductors, as well as a brief description of the modern nanotransistor. During the last four weeks, we will address fundamental conceptual issues related to the meaning of resistance on an atomic scale, interconversion of electricity and heat, and the second law of thermodynamics.

Introduction to Bioconductor
ADD FREE starts 30 Mar 2015
In this course, you will learn how to use Bioconductor, one of the most widely used open source toolkits for biological data. We’ll cover common uses of the software packages within the Bioconductor project, and you’ll decide whether you learn methods for next generation sequencing, microarrays, or both. The course will cover a variety of of normalization, batch correction and testing methods for high throughput data.

Discrete Time Signals and Systems, Part 2: Frequency Domain
ADD FREE starts 18 Mar 2015
Have you ever wondered how signals from the physical world are sampled, stored, and processed without losing the information required to extract meaning from the data? This course is a rigorous mathematical introduction to the engineering field of signal processing. You’ll learn about the study of signals and systems that extract information from the world around us, and how to analyze discrete-time signals and systems in the time and frequency domains. You will also learn convolution, discrete Fourier transforms, the z-transform, and digital filtering. Learners will apply these concepts in interactive MATLAB programming exercises, all done in a browser; no download is required.

Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion
ADD FREE always open
This course is an introduction to the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. You’ll learn about the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion, including both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity and acceleration as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.

Applications in Engineering Mechanics
ADD FREE always open
This course applies principles taught in the course Introduction to Engineering Mechanics to analyze real world engineering structures. You’ll need to have mastered the engineering fundamentals from that class to be successful in this course. This course addresses modeling and analysis of static equilibrium problems with an emphasis on real world engineering systems and problem solving.

Dynamics of Three Dimensional (3D) Motion
ADD FREE always open
This course is an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. You’ll learn about the dynamics of rigid bodies in 3D motion, including the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time; kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.
