This course provides a fundamental knowledge of dynamics, including kinematics and kinetics of particle, system of particles, and rigid bodies in planar and three-dimensional motion. A systematic approach, namely vector analysis and modeling procedure (VAMP), is introduced to precisely describe linear and angular positions, velocities, accelerations, forces, and torques for generating a set of equations of motion, without missing any terms. Other modeling of energy equations, momentum equations, impact of particles and rigid bodies, and Euler equations* are also addressed. Not only are students trained to have the ability of modeling dynamic systems in terms of equations of motion, but they are also experienced with engineering insight of physical laws. (*optional) The primary goal of this fundamental course is to help students become knowledgeable engineers to describe dynamical systems in a systematic approach. On this foundation, students will be prepared to take intermediate dynamics, system dynamics, advanced dynamics, vibration, and structure dynamics. College of Engineering Main Campus Prerequisite: Calculus (differentiation and some integration).

*This course welcomes undergraduate and graduate students in social work and other professional fields. The topics about China and Taiwan will be proceeded in Mandarin for best understanding. Others will be in English. As identity movements spread and globalization impacts people’s everyday life, the concept of cultural diversity “takes account of its dynamic nature and the challenges of identity associated with the permanence of cultural change” (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2009). Social workers nowadays are obliged to understand and properly respond to the subtle differences across groups of gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity or/and race, area, and social class and the influence on the people. Based on the core value of social justice, issues related to human rights and oppression are also of concern. This course aims to prepare cultural competence of students in terms of cultural awareness, knowledge acquisition, and skill development. The sessions start with relevant theoretical frameworks, looks into pressing issues of oppressed populations, and ends by reviewing the development of practice, research and social service system. To enrich students’ cross-culture exposure and sharpen sensitivity toward distinct cultures, international guest speakers are invited to introduce on a series of selective issues in the context of their society. Applying certain elements of “flip classroom”, the guest speeches will be performed in ways such as recommendation of reading list, pre-recorded lecture, asynchronous discussion on-line through CEIBA system, and/or live discussion through internet connection in the classroom. For each topic of the guest speech, students work (in group or individually, depending on class size) to present a similar or related issue in Taiwan or other societies so that dialogue between societies and among the course participants would occur and deepen the learning experience. [Weekly topics] Part 1. Introduction Week 1: Course introduction Week 2: Defining cultural diversity Week 3: Cultural competence in social work: Global context Week 4: Cultural competence in social work: United States VS. Taiwan Part 2. Theoretical pieces Week 5: Social justice and human rights Week 6: Anti-oppression perspective Week 7: Postmodern paradigm Part 3.

All readings, assignments, and communication of this course are in English. 2. To facilitate at-home reading and in-class discussion, a set of questions will be posted on the discussion board of CEIBA. The students can select five weeks to respond the questions by posting relevant discussion, reflection, resources or questions by noon of the day before the class time (Wednesday 11:59 AM). Or, you may raise your own questions or bring up reflections about topic of the week and the reading materials. Late post counts about the points would be taken down for fairness. 3. For individual presentation, students (in group or individually, depending on the class size) may select one of the selective topics around the world to explicate further, such as relevant discussions in another society or other profession. It shall be taken as a mid-term paper adopting decent references without writing out the contents. Please schedule a meet-up with the teacher regarding the presentation to ensure the insightful dialogue would occur as late as two week ahead. 4. Students are expected to read the papers assigned and participate in classroom discussion. Individual student is responsible for the learning of self, group members, other students, and (guest) lecturers. **Undergraduate and doctoral students are encouraged to take this course as a selective. In such case, requirements and evaluation standards would be individualized for fairness. Yi Yi Chen 15 Friday 2,3,4 SW7042 (330EM4000) 3 *Majors-only (including minor and double major students).

In this course, we will take a formal look at various environments where a group of individuals (committee, society, congress, etc.) makes a decision through some institutional mechanism (consensus, elections, jury deliberations, legislative bargaining etc.). These environments often coincide with real-world political institutions which we will study with the tools of (non-cooperative) game theory and experimental economics. We will try to critically understand varied aspects of political institutions through the lens of formal models in political economy. This course is designed to provide a starting point for research in formal Political Theory and Political Economy. The course will also be of use to students who are interested in microeconomic theory and experimental economics. College of Social Sciences Main Campus Microeconomic theory at a graduate level.

The class is taught in English and will examine Taiwan’s economic development from about 1860 to the present. During the first class, I will offer an overview of Taiwan’s economic growth since the late-19th century. The course will then be organized topically. We will start by examining Taiwan’s important crops (tea, sugar and rice) and how these affected Taiwan’s economic development from roughly 1860-1970. Then we will briefly look at the development of Taiwan’s natural resources. Finally we will consider Taiwan’s rise as a manufacturing power. We will start with a look at Taiwan’s first labor-intensive manufactured export, woven hats, which were produced and exported in the pre-war era, but then mainly focus on Taiwan’s post-war export boom and its modern growth. There will be seven groups projects based on the readings listed below and a short individual project based on analyzing Taiwan’s post-war economic statistics. When you finish this course, you should have a much better idea how Taiwan rose from poverty to relative prosperity College of Social Sciences Main Campus No prerequisites. There will be a lot of statistics but no mathematical modeling.
