SERC brings together cross-disciplinary teams of faculty, researchers, and students to develop original pedagogical materials that meet our goal of training students to practice responsible technology development through incorporation of insights and methods from the humanities and social sciences, including an emphasis on social responsibility.Materials include the MIT Case Studies Series in Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing, original Active Learning Projects, and lecture materials that provide students hands-on practice and training in SERC, together with other resources and tools found useful in education at MIT. Original homework assignments and in-class demonstrations are specially created by multidisciplinary teams, to enable instructors to embed SERC-related material into a wide variety of existing courses.The aim of SERC is to facilitate the development of responsible “habits of mind and action” for those who create and deploy computing technologies, and fostering the creation of technologies in the public interest. https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-tll-008-social-and-ethical-responsibilities-of-computing-serc-fall-2021 Fall 2021 Shah, Julie Kaiser, David 2022-02-04T12:41:21+05:00 en-US ethics computing privacy surveillance justice human rights AI algorithms environment social robotics policy law MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Did you know that we have approximately 2 meters of DNA packed in our cells, which are less than 10 μm diameter? Or that to replicate DNA it is copied at a rate of 70,000 basepairs per second by a cellular apparatus that coordinates at least six different enzymes? Or that microtubules form greater than 1 meter long “railways” upon which molecular machines transport cargo within nerve cells? In this course, we will explore how single-molecule imaging techniques capture the mega-cellular machines working in real-time.This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm In this hands-on undergraduate class, students work in large teams of approximately 15-20 individuals to design and build working alpha prototypes of new products. The course is designed to emulate what engineers might experience as part of a design team in a modern product development firm. The large teams must work effectively to realize this task, so students also learn about group dynamics, team roles and management, consensus building, and the value of communication.  Each year there is a broad theme which serves as a launching point for new product opportunities. At the end of the course, teams present their work to a live audience of ~1100 practicing product designers, entrepreneurs, academics, and classmates, as well as a significant live webcast audience—in the tens of thousands. Key Goals: To improve creative-thinking capability. To improve ability to identify significant product opportunities, and to develop appropriate solutions through a structured product development process. To improve expertise in constructing models for reasoning about design alternatives. These include estimations, sketches, sketch models, spreadsheets, geometric models, mockups, and prototypes. To improve engineering expertise and proficiency in techniques for building high-quality product models and prototypes. To learn about and experience structured methods for working in large teams on a project that requires teamwork to be successful. To improve presentation skills using a wide variety of media. To develop an understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the engineering activities involved with designing a new product. To develop an appreciation for the significance of societal contributions that can be made as a technological innovator. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-009-product-engineering-process-fall-2021 Fall 2021 Wallace, David 2022-01-14T15:39:39+05:00 2.009 en-US product design product engineering innovation design teams team dynamics product development opportunity identification market research mock-ups prototypes new product opportunities sketch models MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm The mammalian immune system is sometimes called a “liquid organ,” capable of rapidly initiating and then resolving potent responses to pathogens at almost any location in the organism. What protein machinery drives immune cells’ rapid migration? How do cells make pathfinding decisions around barriers? How do they find rare pathogens or target cells in complex environments? This course will begin by examining the general immunological functions of two major immune cell types—T cells and dendritic cells. Through our readings and discussions, we will examine the connections between immunotherapy as an emerging treatment modality for a variety of cancers and the migration of immune cells.

We argue towards a theory of Black feminist health science studies that builds on social justice science, which has as its focus the health and well-being of marginalized groups. Students will engage feminist science theories such as the linguistic metaphors of the immune system, the medicalization of race, and critiques of the sexual binary. We will use contemporary as well as historical moments to investigate the evolution of “scientific truth” and its impact on the U.S. cultural landscape. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/womens-and-gender-studies/wgs-s10-black-feminist-health-science-studies-spring-2021 Spring 2021 Bailey, Moya 2021-11-01T19:30:04+05:00 WGS.S10 en-US Black feminist health science studies feminist technoscience studies sexual binary race class gender standpoint theory intersectionality medicine MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
