This course aims to help students develop and apply critical thinking skills (Interdisciplinary and Innovative Thinking and Valuing and Reasoning), engage in the curricular and co-curricular life of the university, articulate to students the expectations of the University and its faculty, understand the value of a liberal education in the 21st century, and continue to clarify their purpose, meaning, and direction. First-time, year-one students admitted into the University college will enroll in ANCH 101. ANCH 102 (46607) ANCH 102 (46608) Introduction to Urban Studies Introduction to Urban Studies TR 1:00-2:15 TR 2:30-3:45 DISC 100: 005 (47536) (TR 11:30- pm)* Section is reserved for non-native speakers only* DISC 100: 006 (47537) (MWF 1-1:50 pm) DISC 100: 007 (47538) (TR 4:00-5:15 pm) DISC 100: 0026 (47557) (TR 5:30-6:45 pm ) A lecture and discussion course that provides the undergraduate student with an overview of the interdisciplinary field of urban social sciences.

You'll discover what causes artists to create the music they write including: A local hip hop DJ, who breaks down how he creates a groove; a local string quartet, who demonstrate how they play together; our local symphony conductor, who reveals how the symphony works; an artist involved in business, who shares what it takes to be an artist in today's economy; several local concert promoters, discussing how and why they bring music to Kansas City. And many more. Music is all around us and forms the fabric of our memory and identity. Join us as we discover the muses for Kansas City's music.

The course introduces important concepts relevant to the fields of engineering and computing, including the engineering approach to solving problems, communications and computations, ethics, environmental responsibility and teamwork. Particular attention will be paid to how technology, engineering and pervasive computing impacts society. The course also introduces academic skills and strategies for success as a student and in a professional career. Honors ANCH H199 Honors ANCH H199 Reacting to the Past Reacting to the Past MW 4-5:15 TR 11:30-001: DISC H100: (47631) (MWF 3-3:50) This interdisciplinary course invites students to explore important issues and ideas in their historical contexts. Students will read and discuss relevant texts, write analytical papers, and present persuasive speeches. This course is part of the Reacting to the Past Program, which invites students to explore important issues and ideas by recreating the historical contexts that generated those issues and ideas. This semester, we will recreate two key scientific events: the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen in 2009 and the Royal Society debate about Charles Darwin s theory of biological evolution in London from Approaching these events as games, students will assume roles based on real or historically accurate figures. To perform their roles, students will read and discuss relevant texts, write analytical papers, and present persuasive speeches about climate change and Darwinism. The instructors of this course will act as gamemasters who provide information and guidance, but do not dictate the outcomes of games. This will be a challenging course, and it may also be the most fun that you have had in a classroom.

By exploring a variety of wildly inaccurate claims about the past in news reports, books, film and other media - within the context of the scientific method, this course will demonstrate how science approaches questions about human antiquity and, in doing so, will show where pseudoscience falls short. By studying both global and local examples, students will be able to have a stronger connection with their own community, and a better understanding of how urbanization has a significant impact on important local cultural resources.

Introduction to and application of the Engineering Design Process including: product development, needs identification, benchmarking, information gathering, intellectual property, concept generation, creativity methods, concept selection, professional, ethical and legal responsibilities, and computer-aided design and rapid prototyping applications. A comprehensive design project requiring community engagement and an interdisciplinary design approach is required for each student. How people interact with society, home, and community changes throughout life. So too does their spatial cognition, balance, and strength. Those changes call for modification of the "built environment" and the enabling technologies embodied in
