Specific topics include arcjets, ion engines, Hall thrusters and colloid thrusters.
16.83X Space Systems Engineering (MIT)
Space Systems Engineering (16.83X) is the astronautical capstone course option in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Between Spring 2002 and Spring 2003, the course was offered in a 3-semester format, using a Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (C-D-I-O) teaching model. 16.83X is shorthand for the three course numbers: 16.83, 16.831, and 16.832.

PSYC 309-01, Human Judgment and Decision Making, Fall 2005
You will study how people make judgments about themselves and others; how people attribute causation to human behavior; and how people make estimates and best guesses about uncertain outcomes. The layperson's intuitions and judgments will be contrasted with normative standards established by scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers. You will learn about 6 classic decision-making paradoxes, and you can participate in 6 class demonstrations where you can earn money (max $30) as well as lose mo
CHIN 102-01, Elementary Chinese, Spring 2007
The same as those for Chinese 101. We will finish 8 lessons this semester. Approximately, we will spend seven hours on each lesson. After the Spring Semester, student should be able to hold simple conversations on daily-life topics and to write short passages on topics that we have covered. You should also lean some basic aspects of Chinese culture and society as a necessary part of learning Chinese language.,This syllabus was submitted to the Rhodes College Office of Academic Affairs by the cou
Dr. Michael Reed - Academic Spotlight
One of the research projects underway on campus is led by Dr. Michael Reed, associate professor of physics and astronomy. Funded by a National Science Foundation grant, the project will use two new observational techniques to study the insides of evolving stars and to measure the vibrations in these stars.
Dr. Reed's work focuses on pulsating stars, which are stars that get brighter and fainter within given periods. The study of evolving stars represents the core of what our Sun will be late i
