Course Catalog Description
The Berkeley Seminar Program has been designed to provide new students with the opportunity to explore an intellectual topic with a faculty member in a small-seminar setting. Berkeley Seminars are offered in all campus departments, and topics vary from department to department and semester to semester.
Class Description
Have you ever wondered how a nuclear power plant produces electricity, or what makes a nuclear bomb explode, or how radiation can both cause and treat cancer? What caused the nuclear disaster at Fukushima? What powers the Perseverance rover on Mars? In this seminar, we will examine the basic science behind these and other topics and explore the engineering methods that underlie such technologies. Seminar is open to all interested freshmen.
