This is an experiment in pedagogy. We will employ methods from software development to work collectively towards the mastery of this subject. In the end we will have covered the same material that might be taught in an introductory course at an engineering school. But rather than stage well-worn materials into digestible weekly readings, lectures and quizzes we will be making our own conclusions about these materials using our own wits.

We start with a handful of seminal questions. You will select a question at random then have the opportunity to exchange your question with one of your peers. Once assigned, you will be given a date to present your findings to the class and open your thoughts to discussion.

Additionally each of you will each be asked to take a side in re-enactments of famous debates relevant to our studies.
