Course Description   This course introduces students to a systems perspective in the planning, design, implementation and operation of civil engineering systems. A systems perspective relates to how problems are defined, how analysis tools are used to evaluate the performance of facilities and services, how benefits and costs are incorporated into decision-making, how environmental and social impacts are assessed as projects proceed to final implementation, and how facilities are operated and maintained after implementation. The concept of sustainability is important throughout this course: sustainability refers to the preservation of the natural environment and human community for the continued development of future generations. This concept is introduced in the three elements mentioned above - (I) problem definition, (II) performance analysis, (III) project evaluation and management. SYLLABUS

More precisely, a question was put forth asking if the eigenmodes (the "notes" if you will) of a 2-D membrane are unique for a given geometry. The answer turns out to be NO! and some of the counter-example geometries are relatively simple shapes. What this has to do with the Matlab logo, is that the logo is a graphical portrayal of one of the eigenmodes for an "L" shaped membrane.
