Credits:	4.0 [max 4.0]

This class concerns ways in which relatively straightforward particle-scale phenomenology is directly related to larger-scale behaviors of concern to environmental and engineering processes. These larger scale behaviors include pattern formation driven by cooperative sorting and advection dynamics. They also include quasi-static and dynamic non-linear responses to stresses and other forcing. Applications we discuss include particle transport in rivers, wetlands reclamation, pavement compaction, and industrial mixing. As many large-scale and small-scale phenemonelogy can be counter-intuitive without experience, the in-class work is supplemented by two sets of hand-on activities. (1) students will explore these phenomenology in physical laboratories and (2) students will explore details unattainable in the physical laboratory by modifying existing computational simulations. (e.g., behavior in zero gravity, chaotic particle pathways, small-scale structures in colloidal suspensions). Minimal prior programming experience is expected. Programming assignments will be designed to be flexible for students of all levels of such experience.

Your project may address food insecurity, unemployment, housing, environmental impacts, equity, or other issues. Proposed designs for how you might have an impact may take many forms (student group, program intervention with an existing organization, public policy strategy, or for-profit or non-profit venture) but this class will focus on how to make ideas financially sustainable. The primary focus of this (GCC 5005) course is how to develop a pilot project plan that addresses a grand challenge. You will learn business modeling, financial projections, and pitching to potential investors and funders. You will build a model for your idea around input from primary and secondary research, as well as the affected community?s culture, needs, and wants. Community members, locally and globally, may serve as mentors and research consultants to teams. External speakers will be brought in to share their stories of how to build and scale innovative efforts to serve the common good. Students enrolled will work either independently, or in small teams, on a project of their own choosing. Ideally, students will apply to take this class with a project in mind. By the end of the class, students will have a well-designed plan to turn their project into an actionable solution if that is of interest. This is a Grand Challenge Curriculum course.
