Life in Moving Fluids


"Life in Moving Fluids" is a mini-course which offers liberal arts and engineering students an opportunity to explore the interface between biology and mechanical engineering. Often working in teams, the students have one lecture each week supplemented by a laboratory every other week. For more information on this class, please contact
