Yippie Schedule!6.011 - Introduction to Communication, Control, and Signal Processing
Signals, systems and inference as unifying themes in communication, control and signal processing. Input-output and state-space models of linear systems driven by deterministic and random signals; time- and transform-domain representations in discrete and continuous time. State feedback and observers. Probabilistic models; stochastic processes, correlation functions, power spectra, spectral factorization. Least-mean square error estimation; Wiener filtering. Detection; matched filters.
6.012 Microelectronic Devices and Circuits
Microelectronic device modeling, and basic microelectronic circuit analysis and design. Physical electronics of semiconductor junction and MOS devices. Relating terminal behavior to internal physical processes, developing circuit models, and understanding the uses and limitations of different models. Use of incremental and large-signal techniques to analyze and design transistor circuits, with examples chosen from digital circuits, linear amplifiers, and other integrated circuits. Design project. 4 Engineering Design Points.
21M.606 Introduction to Stagecraft
Introduces the essential technical and engineering knowledge necessary to realize the design of a theatrical production and provides experience with the variety and scope of stagecraft. Students develop a working vocabulary; learn basic shop and handwork skills, including drafting, cutting patterns; and the safe use of all shop machines. Provides a theoretical overview of, and hands-on experience with, the various activities that occur in each shop, including sets, costumes, and lighting. Students complete projects that use all basic skills learned in these three technical and design domains. Students design and build an individual final project of their choosing that employs the stagecraft skills acquired over the semester.
12.001 Introduction to Geology
Major minerals and rock types, rock-forming processes, and time scales. Temperatures, pressures, compositions, structure of the Earth, and measurement techniques. Geologic structures and relationships observable in the field. Sediment movement and landform development by moving water, wind, and ice. Crustal processes and planetary evolution in terms of global plate tectonics with an emphasis on ductile and brittle processes. Includes laboratory exercises on minerals, rocks, mapping, plate tectonics, rheology, glaciers. Two one-day field trips (not optional).
Work v. APO
My Media Lab group (Camera Culture) has group meetings every Wednesday at 5pm and APO has the weekly Chapter or Exec meetings at 7:30. Because I'm using my Camera Culture project (formerly UROP) as my 6.UAP (Undergraduate Advanced Project) I'm not getting paid for it, but I still need to go to the meetings...and more than that, I'll be checking in with my advisor on how my UAP is going after the meeting. This means that I wont be making most APO meetings...shucks! oh well...graduating is more important (by a long shot). And hey, now I can use that mythical hour and a half for working on something else :)
Yoga
Amrita & Yin-Mon talked me into leading yoga a few mornings a week...It'll be good for us. We'll start the day with a nice meditative workout. I know I'll stick with this (as soon as we get it kicked up and going) because none of us will wanna let the others down! Go Go Peer Pressure! It's not always a bad thing...
Swimming & TechCalling
I'm hoping to get back into the swimming thing this semester. I think that the biggest reason that I fell out of it last term (aside from the no time for much of anything) is because I didn't have the TechCalling to keep me a normal evening schedule of events...I scheduled TechCalling up there as Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, but I'll only be working every few Tuesdays...when it's an exceptionally light work week :)
