This course will study the question of Global Architecture from the point of view of producing a set of lectures on that subject. The course will be run in the form of a writing seminar, except that students will be asked to prepare for the final class an hour-long lecture for an undergraduate survey course. During the semester, students will study the debates about where to locate "the global" and do some comparative analysis of various textbooks. The topic of the final lecture will be worked on during the semester. For that lecture, students will be asked to identify the themes of the survey course, and hand in the bibliography and reading list for their lecture.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-696Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmJarzombek, Mark2009-09-29T02:02:15-04:004.696en-USArchitectureArchitectural History and Criticism, Generalhow societies choose to fail or succeedcollapsejared diamondsalt a world historymark kurlanskyethnocentrismeurocentrismart historycomparative globalityarchitectural historyglobal perspectiveresearching historycomparative analysisthe globalsurvey courseglobal architecturesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python™ programming language.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-00Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmGuttag, JohnGrimson, Eric2009-09-10T12:22:44-04:006.00en-USElectrical Engineering and Computer ScienceComputer and Information Sciences, Othersoftware engineeringbuilding computational modelsexceptionscontrol flowbig O notationsimulationmodulesoptimization problemsalgorithmslibrariesinheritanceclassesbinary searchrecursionPython programmingproblem solvingcomputationcomputer scienceMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

This course introduces the fundamental Lean Six Sigma principles that underlay modern continuous improvement approaches for industry, government and other organizations. Lean emerged from the Japanese automotive industry, particularly Toyota, and is focused on the creation of value through the relentless elimination of waste. Six Sigma is a quality system developed at Motorola which focuses on elimination of variation from all processes. The basic principles have been applied to a wide range of organizations and sectors to improve quality, productivity, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, time-to-market and financial performance. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Aeronautics-and-Astronautics/16-660January--IAP--2008/CourseHome/index.htmHaggerty, AlWeigel, AnnalisaMurman, EarllMcManus, Hugh2009-07-10T04:12:11-04:0016.660ESD.62J16.853en-USAeronautics and AstronauticsAeronautics/Aviation/Aerospace Science and Technology, Generallockheed martin.rockwell collinsboeingsouthwest airlinesvariabilityvalue stream analysislean engineeringsupply chainsimulationvalue stream mappingenterprise leaderslean aerospace initiativesix sigmaleanEngineering Systems DMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

The issue of race and racial identity have preoccupied many writers throughout the history of the U.S. In this subject, students read Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Louise Erdrich, William Faulkner, Maxine Hong Kingston, Sandra Cisneros, and Judson Mitcham, among others, as we consider the story of race in its peculiarly American dimensions. The reading, along with the writing of members of the class, is the focus of class discussions. Oral presentations on subjects of individual interest are also part of the class activities. Students explore race and ethnicity in personal essays, pieces of cultural criticism or analysis, or (with permission of instructor) fiction. All written work is read and responded to in class workshops and subsequently revised.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Writing-and-Humanistic-Studies/21W-742JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmFaery, Rebecca Blevins2009-06-25T10:59:10-04:0021W.742JWGS.575JSP.575Jen-USSpecial ProgramsWritingmestizomulatomixed heritagemulticulturalheritageselfidentityethnicityintegrationassimilationracemixed ancestryhybrid populationsmultiple descentmultiracialitymixed-racemulti-racemultiracialwritingraceWritinWomen's and Gender StudiesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

The laws of classical mechanics and thermodynamics are used to explore how the properties of fluids on a rotating Earth manifest themselves in, and help shape, the global patterns of atmospheric winds, ocean currents, and the climate of the Earth. Theoretical discussion focuses on the physical processes involved. Underlying mechanisms are illustrated through laboratory demonstrations, using a rotating table, and through analysis of atmospheric and oceanic data.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Earth--Atmospheric--and-Planetary-Sciences/12-003Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmFerrari, Raffaele 2009-06-17T03:24:35-04:0012.003en-USEarth, Atmospheric, and Planetary SciencesAtmospheric Physics and Dynamicsthermohaline circulationAbyssal circulationinhomogeneitygeostrophic and hydrostatic balancesalinityseawateroceanHadley circulationRossby numberCoriolis forceEkman layerTaylor-Proudman TheoremGeostrophic motionradial inflowcompressible flowIncompressible flowHydrostatic balanceFluids in motionWindsPressure and geopotential heightTemperatureConvective cloudsHumidityadiabatic lapse rateConvectionpressure and densityAtmospheric layersgreenhouse gasesgreenhouse effectglobal energy balanceCharacteristics of the atmosphereMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
