How can non-invasive helmet-based assisted breathing data be collected and used to assess the health of a patient? Tully will design new material and lab equipment for this seminar in computational physics to teach students how respiratory monitoring is used, how to build these systems with inexpensive, readily available components, and how to implement Python computing methods and network solutions to provide clinicians the tools they need to rapidly respond to the respiratory conditions of COVID-19 patients. This course will provide a platform for students to think about their role in a pandemic and how what they learn in class can empower them to action on behalf of those that need help in times of crisis.

One of the most classic courses at Princeton University, CEE262, Structures in the Urban Environment (known as “Bridges”) was founded by Professor David Billington (1927-2018) in 1974.  The course argues that the best designed structures (bridges, buildings, and vaults) are a work of art – structural art – the art of the structural engineer.  The course integrates humanities with engineering through studies of cultures, people, and art as reflected in works of structural engineering.
