Distributive: ART. Instructor: Deanne Harper. In science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, your ability to present data and information in different genres and media will be important to your professional success. Writing, revision, and presentation are key components in the design process, which requires both internal and external communication. This course focuses on individual work within and across disciplines including creative research, literature reviews, papers, grant proposals, poster design, and media driven presentations. Assignments may be adapted for students already at work on research projects in their discipline. As the design process is also collaborative, assignments offer occasional opportunities to work in teams. ######################################################################## * Dartmouth ’20 part of project to replicate NASA twin study * Matt Moniz ’20 and Willie Benegas (49-year old professional climber) are participating in a research study replicating NASA’s finding that expended space travel takes a toll on the human body. These two will spend a month on Mount Everest while their twins stay at sea level.
