ANIMATION IN NANOTECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE (3) Searson   Limit 10 Perm. Req’d.     This course involves the use of animation to visualize scientific processes in nanotechnology and medicine.  Animation is becoming an increasingly important tool in both research and education, especially in fields such as nanobiotechnology that involve complex processes and occur at multiple length scales.  Understanding of the subject matter is gained through interaction with faculty and graduate students in research groups in the Institute of NanoBioTechnology at Hopkins. The course follows the basic animation pipeline from concept to post production.  Same as 500.695
