In this course, students examine the vision and impact of Alexander the Great, whose military expedition to North Africa and the Middle East offers a model of a stable political structure on a global scale. Alexander’s activity ranged from Greece to India. The world he encountered was as foreign, diverse, strange and occasionally averse to his Western sensibilities as it is to us today.

LAB. 1. This course is a study of engineered systems for cultivating algae for various uses in society. To develop an understanding of engineering principles applied to growing, cultivating, and producing algal biomass for a number of applications, study into the biology, physiology, and ecology of algae and similar species will be a major part of the course. Departmental Approval.
