Tranistioning to an MCH Provider is easy!
When choosing a new Care Provider, your prior Provider may request that you complete and send them a Record Release Form which gives them permission to release your health records to your new Provider. Click below to download that form.
Types of Primary Care Providers at MCH
There are two types of physicians available to patients at MCH: M.D. (doctor of allopathic medicine) and D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Both have achieved doctorate-level medical training from a college or university medical program in a primary care area such as family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics. Both use traditional medicine to diagnose and treat patients. D.O.s also offer manual, non-invasive musculoskeletal manipulation. All 50 states recognize and license both types of physicians to practice medicine and prescribe medications to patients.
Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners, (A.R.N.P.) also provide primary care at MCH. Nurse practitioners typically hold a master's degree in nursing. They must pass a national certification exam and state licensing requirements. Their education is grounded in medical theory, nursing theory, clinical practice, and an overall understanding of disease processes. In New Hampshire, nurse practitioners are independently licensed providers of primary care who can prescribe medications in addition to providing patients with medical services and health education.
Types of Primary Care at MCH
Family Medicine
Family practitioners provide complete healthcare services for people of all ages, from birth through senior years. They are uniquely equipped to diagnose and treat both individual patients as well as all members of a family. Medical training typically spans several basic disciplines including internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, general surgery, psychiatry, and disease prevention.
Internal Medicine
Internal medicine providers specialize in diagnosing and treating both common and complex illnesses in adults. Medical training typically includes primary care with an emphasis on the functions of internal organ systems. Internal medicine physicians can choose to practice primary care and/or practice in a specialty area such as cardiology, pulmonology, gasteroenterology, etc.
Obstetrics and gynecology
OB/GYN physicians provide medical and preventative care for women and specialize in medical and surgical care of the female reproductive and urinary systems before, during and after pregnancy. Some providers offer both OB and GYN services, while others may specialize in one of the two disciplines. Women in New Hampshire can access OB/GYNs without a PCP referral.
Pediatric providers focus specifically on caring for children from birth through teen years. They are trained in health and wellness management as well as the prevention and treatment of childhood disease.

Contest: Love Your Mom? Nelly Furtado Wants to Hear About It!
Listen, don't front like Nelly Furtado's new single 'Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)' isn't one of the best songs of the summer. Sure, it's not summer yet, but you know what I mean. That track is pretty much my personal anthem, as anyone who knows me knows that I have an obsession with giant earrings of all sorts, especially hoops. Seriously – I bought five new pairs just the other day. It's a bit of a problem.
Anyway, that's hardly the point. It's Mother's Day in the US on Sunday and as a mom herself to a lovely 8-year-old daughter named Nevis, Nelly knows just how tough a job being a mom can be. I'm not even a mom and I know how tough it can be. Really, really tough.
In conjunction with her forthcoming album Spirit Indestructible, Nelly wants to hear from YOU, HelloGiggles readers, about your own mother's spirit. How has she displayed strength? In what ways has your mom come through for you when no one else has? Is your mom your best friend? Seriously, she (and we) wants to know!
To that end, we invite you to share stories about your mom's "spirit indestructible" in the comments section below. Nelly herself will read your entries and pick her favourite to be featured on her Facebook page for Mother's Day! Not only that, the top three entries will win a signed Nelly Furtado lithograph to sweeten the deal.
So honour your mom by telling everyone else just how great she is. After all, it's silly that Mother's Day is only once a year when the job is year-round! Let her know just how much you appreciate her by sharing your love below!
Don't forget to pick up Nelly Furtado's Spirit Indestructible on June 19 and stay tuned for our chat with the lady herself in the coming weeks!

Mali's rulers sought to restore calm yesterday after pro-junta soldiers stamped out a counter-coup bid by the presidential guard, sparking clashes in the capital that left at least 22 dead.
The head of the military junta that seized power on March 22, Capt Amadou Haya Sanogo, assured the situation was "under control" after an offensive described as an attempt on his life.
Gunfire erupted late on Monday at the national television and radio station, the airport and at Kati, the garrison town near the capital that is the junta's headquarters.
The fighting, which continued on Tuesday, was initiated by presidential guardsmen loyal to ex-president Amadou Toumani Toure, who was ousted by Sanogo in the coup last month.
"I want to reassure the population. I am doing fine. The committee (junta) is doing fine," Sanogo said in an interview late on Tuesday with the national television and radio station (ORTM).
He termed the clashes "an internal matter that was being managed," and vowed the April 6 deal he signed with west African mediators restoring civilian rule remained in force.
Sanogo also claimed the objective of the assault was to "assassinate" him and fellow military chiefs, more so Ibrahim Dahirou Dembele.
The fighting claimed 22 lives, said hospital sources, who had previously put the toll at 14 dead and 40 injured.
Sporadic gunfire was heard in Bamako overnight Tuesday, but by yesterday morning calm had been restored. – AFP

Preston Sturges: THE PALM BEACH STORY
|Preston Sturges
|Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea and Mary Astor
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
With a cast and title that misleadingly spell out "Hollywood Romance," Sturges delivers one of his slyest assaults on the intricacies (and idiocies) of the human heart.
Claudette Colbert (IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT) and Joel McCrea (SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS) are a hapless married couple under the duress of financial hardship. In an attempt to do the right thing, they separate to escape each other...only to end up in the exact same spot: Palm Beach.
From there, Sturges unleashes a full-scale torrent of madcappery and misunderstandings, igniting a screwball powder keg like none other in film history. Egos and asses are bruised as the increasing circle of zany characters stumble from one fine mess to the next. Not just one of the filmmaker's finest, but one of the most cynically heartwarming movies you'll ever see in your fool life.

National Trust Urges Relocation of Proposed Gravel Mine Away from Theodore Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch
Posted May 16, 2014 | Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-588-6141
In an environmental assessment report, the U.S. Forest Service recently concluded that a 25-acre gravel mine proposed by private mineral rights holders would have "no significant impact" on Theodore Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch National Historic District, even though the gravel pit would be located within the district itself. The following is a statement by David J. Brown, National Trust Executive Vice President and Chief Preservation Officer:
"While we recognize the constraints placed on the Forest Service and the right to develop privately owned minerals, we are concerned that the impact of a gravel pit on the Elkhorn Ranch National Historic District has not been fully examined. This historic district captures the beauty and serenity of the landscape that greatly influenced Theodore Roosevelt and his views on land conservation. The gravel pit would degrade the integrity of the landscape and the quality of visitors' experience to this area. We must aim to preserve the legacy of President Roosevelt and this land for generations to come.
"We urge the Forest Service and the private mineral rights holders to execute a mineral rights exchange that would spare Elkhorn Ranch National Historic District from this intrusion. It is our collective responsibility to see that we are thoughtful stewards of this land and its contribution to our nation's history."
Theodore Roosevelt hunted, ran cattle, and explored this expansive ranch in the rugged North Dakota Badlands in the late 19th century. It was here that the 26th president of the United States developed a deep appreciation for the American West and for conservation. The integrity and serenity of the ranch, which lies on both sides of the Little Missouri River, is now threatened by mineral extraction and oil and gas development. This threat prompted the National Trust to name Elkhorn Ranch to its 11 Most Endangered Historic Places list in 2012 and to its portfolio of National Treasures. National Treasures are a portfolio of highly-significant historic places throughout the country where the National Trust makes a long-term commitment to finding a preservation solution. As the Presenting Partner of the National Treasures program, American Express has pledged $2 million to help promote and enable the preservation of these cultural and historic places.

A few weeks ago I posted 10 Rules for Entrepreneurs, a list of the top 10 lessons I've learned in business that have led to success. This week, I'd like to talk about my Rule #8, "Be respectful and thankful. People do things because they want to, not because they have to. Set a good example."
Most successful entrepreneurs are pretty smart people. But it's amazing how illogical and tone deaf some people can be when it comes to motivating people. We've all read stories about certain CEOs who are famous for the abusive and humiliating ways that they treat employees, vendors, and sometimes even customers.
I was having lunch with an investment banker friend recently who had just come from a meeting with the young CEO of an extremely successful company. He told me that, "The worst thing about my job is that I have to deal with some of the most arrogant people in the world. Just because this guy is fabulously rich, he thinks it's fun to make everyone else grovel. You come away hoping the worst for him."
Now, that left me thinking what has this CEO accomplished by treating his banker this way? How does it advance his business and even his own self-interests?
The CEO sets the tone for the company. If he or she is rude, dismissive, and arrogant to the company's employees, they in turn will start to act the same way to their subordinates, and so on down the line. The result will be a poisonous company culture that people will tolerate maybe only so long as everyone is making a lot of money. The minute there is a rough patch, people will pack it in quickly.
However, a CEO who listens attentively and is genuinely interested in what others have to say, will send signals to the VPs that it's fine to argue, fine to be passionate, and fine to disagree, so long as it is all done in the spirit of common good and common courtesy. The CEO should hold managers to high standards of performance, but I don't believe that behavior like humiliating a VP in front of his peers accomplishes anything positive, other than perhaps to make that CEO feel better.
The CEO is the one who can create a culture that makes everyone proud of their company and happy to come to work in the morning and put their shoulders to the wheel. And little gestures from the CEO can go a long way. I keep a box on my desk with note cards, envelopes, and stamps. When an employee does something that is above and beyond the call of duty, I'll often take a minute and send them a hand-written thank you note. Sometimes, years later, I'll still see those notes pinned up in their cubes. -Dave Friend, Carbonite CEO

App for Todoist dissapears
I have dowloaded the app for todoist 3 times for MacBook Air. It dissapears when I shut down the machine and I cannot find it under applications. Also, neither outlook calendar or icalendar are syncing up with Todoist.
All responses
Hi Nancy,
How did you install Todoist, from our main website and downloaded the file, from the Mac App Store? Depending on how you did this, are you sure it was installed, did you drag any files to the Applications folder?
The calender feed is a bit limited, meaning it can take time to refresh with latest details. For outlook, it only refreshes when you grab for new mail. Are you never getting it updated, or is it just taking it's time?
Hi Brendon,
I purchased the premium version from your website for us eon the MacBookAir. For my iphone, I used the Mac App store and am having no problem with the app.
As for my calendar, it is not synching at all, either on the iphone or mac.
Hello Nancy,

Some aspects of camp management are almost automatic. You need food, you call your food service. You need shirts, you e-mail your outfitter. You have a question about risk management, you contact your insurance agent. You need campers, you . . . hmmmm.
Some tasks in camp management are less than automatic, and occasionally you feel like responding, "Listen, I'm not good at that. And, besides, I never got into the camp profession to have to do things like . . ."
That last sentence often ends with the dreaded M word: marketing. When it comes to marketing, there is bad news and there is good news. The bad: Everyone has her or his own definition of what marketing means, but marketing is indeed more complex than "shopping for groceries." The good news: It is not as mysterious as many think, and it often begins with simply applying common sense.
Good marketing frequently comes from people who were never formally trained as promotional professionals; and bad marketing often comes from the highest-paid corners of Madison Avenue. You can easily see examples of the latter when you turn away from a Super Bowl commercial and say "What????" That slice of bad marketing is compounded when you awake the next morning to remember the strange scenario from the commercial but have no recall of the sponsor.
Even without the benefit of an MBA, or similar preparation, you can easily conquer many marketing issues simply by stepping back, squinting at the problem, and taking the sensible approach. The best place to start is that all-important first encounter:
Common Sense Rules of Initial Contact
Operate your Web site like your camp.
Be there for them.
Be there when they "Contact Us."
Answer the phone with a "camp voice."
Record your voicemail message with a "camp voice."
Use your URL as your e-mail address.
By now you may have realized that no advanced degree in marketing is necessary to reach these kinds of conclusions. What does form a solid foundation for good marketing decision-making is simply to take a moment, figuratively stand back, and think about the marketing issue at hand with the good sense and logic you possess. Yet how many times is a first-time caller greeted by a rushed or even gruff or perhaps surly voice in the camp office? How often does a Web surfer become frustrated with the navigation on a camp Web site and immediately defect for another option?
Recognizing the importance of easy navigation, friendly phone contact, and an e-mail address that makes you and your camp look established are all conclusions based on common sense, no MBA required.
So for now, on to . . .
Common Sense Rules of Message Creation
Perform a brand identity alignment.
Make your accreditation credible.
Don't deliver everyone else's message.
Cancel the helicopter and stop panning pine trees.
Don't be cute.
Tidy up your print materials.
Be perfect.
Prove that you're in a kid business.
Common Sense Rules of Message Delivery
Get in their face.
Capture the data.
Keep the site in sight.
Stay the course.
The Other 49 Percent
Having presented the case for common sense as 51 percent of marketing . . . a few words about the other 49 percent:
Remember that rule cited above, the one about not delivering everyone else's message? The strategic development of your marketing message will help you to prevent this all-too-prevalent me-too-ism.
The rest of the remaining 49 percent of the equation leads to the need for creativity.
Too often camp professionals look at other advertising in the marketplace and respond, "Too cute. Too hokey. Too commercial. Definitely not camp-like." However, it becomes more evident every year that camp is being purchased like many other products and services. In the 21st century, purchasers expect to be "sold" the things that they will buy. They want to be marketed to. In our increasingly commercial marketplace, fewer and fewer products and services retain a special status where consumers excuse them from competing.
Perhaps there was a time when all camp had to do was publish the annual rates and dates, and the enrollment floodgates would open. In some communities and/or for some individual camps, that situation might still exist. For most, however, you need to assertively vie for attention, interest, desire, and action on the part of the purchasing family.
The first step is attention. There is no better way to turn someone's head in your direction than to do something creative. For example, consider a simple print advertisement. A crisp layout can help your message to outperform the other same-old-same-old messages on the page.
The headline shares the job of attracting attention with the layout, then it goes on to create interest. The name of your camp is not a headline, and should not appear as the most prominent words in the space. Instead, a short and intriguing sentence functions to draw the reader in. The name of your camp belongs somewhere at the bottom. The same rule applies to your Web site home page and the cover of your brochure. Translated to video, this makes a good case for showing something surprisingly different in the very first scene.
Once you gain attention and take prospects to the next step of interest, it is time to create desire. This is where you match the camp experience you offer with the needs of your target audience. What do you do differently and better than other camps being considered? More important, is this perceivable difference something that your market values?
To turn desire into action, offer reasons to act now. Announcement of rapidly mounting enrollments, early bird discounts, and special incentives put urgency into the selling process.
Your prospects approach you asking, "Why should I choose YOU?" If you do not attempt to successfully answer that question, be prepared to lose to your competitors. While common sense can drive many marketing decisions successfully, there is no substitute for inspired creativity to attract the attention you deserve for the camp experience you create every summer.

This 3 credit advanced seminar offers students the opportunity to focus on drawing topics pertaining to architecture. Drawing is treated as a space for architectural research and/or as an autonomous work of architecture. The notion that drawing serves architecture merely as representation is questioned and critiqued. The theoretical and technical focus on the process of drawing will cultivate and address issues that have for hundreds of years served as the core of the architecture discipline. Simultaneously, the research may allow for the generation or assimilation of ideas, cultures and knowledge from other fields into architecture. Major elective Open to juniors and above
This 3 credit advanced seminar offers students the opportunity to focus on computational topics pertaining to architecture. Computational techniques and computational ideas are explored through making, writing, reading, and discussion. Some of the work in this course will take place in the space of the digital model, but coding, physical computation, and human computation may also enter into play. Students in this course will, under the mentorship of faculty, develop a level of expertise and knowledge that goes beyond what is usually associated with the requisite skills for contemporary architectural practice. Conversely, it is expected that computation may provoke a challenge to even the most base conceptions of design and architecture. Each iteration of this course will identify and advance a single theme, concept or problem. Some issues that may arise during this course include authorship, modeling vs simulation, computer controlled fabrication, intelligence, and creativity. Prerequisite: completion of Architectural Projection or permission of instructor with a demonstrated experience with 2-D and 3-D software. Estimated Materials Cost: $30.00 Major elective Open to juniors and above
This course introduces the beginning student to the origins, media, geometries and role(s) of projection drawing in the design and construction process. The student will learn systems of projection drawing from direct experience, and be challenged to work both from life and to life. Subjects such as transparency, figure/ground, sciagraphy, oblique projection, surface development, volumetric intersections, spatial manipulation and analytic operations will build on the basics of orthographic and conic projection. The course involves line and tone drawing, hand drafting, computer drawing(Autocad) and computer modeling(Rhino). Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department, course not available via web registration
The study of basic concepts of Human Environmental Comforts. Inherent within 'physio-environ' considerations are principles of temperature, humidity, heat transfer, air movement, and hydrostatics. These principles will be studied in terms of their abstract physics and mathematics, through empirical benchmarking and as the basis for a design proposal that includes considerations of larger scale strategies as well as assemblies. Emphasis will be placed on the principles behind the technology, the behavioral characteristics and the qualities of the systems' operation considered in making building design decisions. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
Inspired by the Galapagos Archipelago and the knowledge transformations brought about as a consequence of Darwin's five-week experience within their dense biodiversity, the seminar will emerge from the first principle of the theory of evolution: When individual agents are brought into proximity they interact, building new linkages, under the right circumstances these interactions create transformation, developing new forms. The proximity and interaction of a great diversity of agency is fundamental to the emergence of new forms; knowledge evolves, comprehension evolves, new forms emerge. Recognizing these diverse forms of agency as a diversity of 'ways of knowing' brought in to close proximity, we begin to understand a living system of knowledge transformation. The structure of the seminar is situated between the questions of artifice and theatricality within the urban condition and the collective embodied process of constructing dynamic actions and interactions within the City of Providence. Estimated Materials Cost: $30.00 - $50.00 Open to juniors and above
Conceived as the culmination of the technologies sequence of courses, this course allows students to choose amongst the three instructor's differing approaches to the problem of conceiving technology holistically, in relation to a set of architectural criteria. The conceptual and technical aspects of building systems are considered and emergent environmentally-conscious technologies are emphasized for research and application. Prerequisites: All required technologies courses Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
This interdisciplinary workshop is understood primarily as a protected time and space within the Architecture Department for an improvisational investigation of space. It will be taught from year to year by a faculty from a rotating team of architects, visual artists, dancers, scientists, etc. who have invested their life's work in the medium of space. Questions regarding spatial phenomena, scale, place etc., will be addressed through the language that the visiting faculty's work employs: it could be a material language for an artist,a tectonic language for an architect, a language of movement for a dancer, mathematical for a scientist, or musical for a musician. The presumption is that there is a unique learning experience when students are asking questions not of their teacher, but with them; and that the individual faculty's discipline and nature can influence the content and improvisational development of each iteration of this workshop. All participants are invited to challenge what they think they know, to expand their language of practice, to extend their understanding of space beyond the culture, practices and lens of their own disciplines,to inquire by doing and to engage the purpose that the visiting faculty brings. Please contact the Architecture Department to learn more about this year's iteration of this course including information on the visiting faculty who will be teaching it. This workshop course provides an opportunity for the exploration of spatial concepts through observation and experience of phenomena. Using the infrastructure and environment of Providence as a laboratory, we will investigate how the ordinary can be transformed into the extraordinary and how the invisible can be rendered visible. Memory, time, light, vibration and metaphor will be examined in relation to the experience of architecture, installation and event. Students' participation and individual interests will shape the direction of the workshop. The idea is to investigate and invent, pushing the parameters of what is known by applying new ideas and materials. An ongoing series of experimental drawings, constructions and installation projects will be reinforced by discussions and selected readings. The semester will be punctuated with multimedia presentations and site visits. Instruction will be individualized, with an emphasis on group critiques. Guest speakers will share their work and challenge the process. Visiting critics will participate in final reviews. The course begins with individual projects and will encourage collaboration. Site-specific, ephemeral installations will focus on magnifying a sense of place and present. Students will record the environmental stimuli that inform our experience of place and time; Identify conditions, influences, and social forces that influence our built environment; consider spectacle, surprise and wonder as artistic devices; question your own aesthetics and instincts; engage in the work of significant figures in contemporary architecture and art; and develop critical skills that support and encourage the learning process.
This course reviews the role of metals in architecture, focusing on the fundamentals of steel analysis and design in architecture; and examines typical framing techniques and systems. Topics include construction issues, floor framing systems, column analysis and design, steel detailing and light gauge steel framing materials and systems. In addition the course introduces students to lateral force resistance systems in steel construction and exposes them to alternatives to steel such as aluminum and fiberglass. By the and of the course, students will be aware of the role of metals in architectural design and construction; design and detail simple steel structural systems; and proportion these systems to resist the moment and shear demands determined through structural analysis. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department, course not available via web registration
The basic content will be statics and strength of materials. The first portion will deal with force vectors, trusses, cross-sectional properties, and shear/moment diagrams, followed by stresses, strains, material applications and the analysis procedures necessary to compute structural behaviors. While the class format is mostly lecture, there will be ample time for discussion, in addition to group projects and field trips. This class is foundational to all future structural design classes such as Wood Structures and Steel Structures. The student will develop an intuitive understanding of structural behavior by studying various structural systems qualitatively under various loading conditions. The analysis of statically determinate trusses and frames will reinforce the intuitive understanding. Structural forces will be understood by tracing the loads (dead, live, wind, and seismic) through a building. They will be able to convert these loads into internal material stresses (axial, shear bending) for the purposes of proportioning members quantitatively. The relevant material sectional properties (such as moment of inertia and radius of gyration) will be learned through hands on bending and buckling experiments and later backed by quantitative analysis. A math test will be given prior to the first class to determine which students are required to attend a supplemental lecture class instructed by the teaching assistant. This course is a pre-requisite for Steel Structures, Wood Structures, and Concrete Structures. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture Department; Course not available via web registration.
This course, the first in a two semester sequence, explores design principles specific to architecture. Two interrelated aspects of design are pursued: 1) the elements of composition and their formal, spatial, and tectonic manipulation and 2) meanings conveyed by formal choices and transformations. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department; Course not available via web registration
We begin work on your Degree Projects from the outset of the semester: navigating arbitrary beginnings; setting boundaries like nets; developing a whole language of grunts, smudges and haiku; gathering the unique and unrepeatable content, forces, and conditions of your project; hunting an emerging and fleeting idea; recognizing discoveries; projecting forward with the imagination; and distilling glyphs, diagrams and insight plans. This course satisfies the prerequisite requirement for Degree Project.
The Urban Design Principles core studio introduces students to the city as a designed environment, giving them the tools to work through impressions, analysis and design operations as ways to understand "man's greatest work of art". Students confront the design of housing as a way to order social relationships and shape the public realm and attack the problems of structure, construction, access and code compliance in the context of a complex large-scale architectural design. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
In this course we will research and discuss a variety of materials, their physical properties and their applications. Using furniture as our vehicle, we will explore how these materials might be utilized, beyond their original intent. We will also examine how the manipulation of these materials can create new ideas in furniture. In the first half of the course students will research, view, handle, and discuss a variety of materials. In the second half, students will model and construct, either a 1/4 scale model, or a full scale detail of a piece of furniture using a material selected from the research done in the first half of the course.
Serious research and a specific preparation begins in this course, forming the theoretical basis for the creative development of the Degree Project (Spring, 6 credits). This is a period in which the nature of the work is clarified, a process is developed, possibilities are examined, and research and information gathering completed. The research from this course acts as an armature, establishing the attitude, objectives, and significance of the thesis as an exploration of architectural ideas, and forming the underpinnings for the work of the coming semester. The result of this effort, begun in the fall with DP prep and completed in the spring, is gathered together and reflected in the DP Book as part of the requirements for completion of Degree Project. The work is reviewed at the end of Wintersession; satisfactory completion of this course is a prerequisite for the Degree Project in the Spring semester. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department; course not available via web registration Schedule to be determined with Advisor Permission of instructor required
This course will develop one's ability to critically read and understand architecture through formal, geometric, tectonic and spatial analytic processes. Analysis acts as an intermediary between observation, expression, and understanding, offering deep insights into works of architecture. The course builds upon the processes introduced in Architectural Projection. Through various conceptual and representational frameworks, the issues of mapping-layers. Point of view, scale, morphology, topography and tectonics will be explored as part of a larger creative process, embracing visual imagination, communication and critique. Estimated Material Cost: $50.00 Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department, course not available via web registration
Design principles presented in the first semester are further developed through a series of projects involving actual sites with their concomitant physical and historic-cultural conditions. Issues of context, methodology, program and construction are explored for their possible interrelated meanings and influences on the making of architectural form. Estimated Cost of Materials: $55.00 Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
This seminar addresses ideas, theories, and practices relating to computation in architecture and design. The course begins with the roots of computation long before the "personal computer" was conceived. The emphasis then shifts toward the present and a study of the canonical written contributions by design computation theorists and researchers (Knight, McCullough, Mitchell, Negroponte, Stiny, and others) as well related architectural, artistic, philosophical, and epistemological positions (Dewey, Evans, Klee, Lynn, Petherbridge, Schon, and others). In addition to reading and writing, the course is peppered with computational instruction so that students can confront and explore computation as makers as well as theorists. The seminar oscillates between reading/writing one week, then projecting the following week. Reading/writing weeks task students with a close reading of two texts and the composition of a written, critical, and analytic response. Project weeks follow, and call upon students to conceive, execute, and document a related experiment, prototype, or work of art. Open to Junior and above Major elective,open to non-majors and Brown students by permission
This course reviews the fundamentals of concrete and masonry in architecture with a focus on materials, structural analysis and design. The analysis and design includes concrete structures, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete members, concrete foundations and reinforced masonry. The student will proportion concrete and masonry structures using ultimate strength design. The longer class time on Tuesday allows students to design, make a concrete mix and create a concrete object. By the end of the course, the students will be able to design and detail simple concrete and masonry systems such as footings, basement walls, beams and slabs; proportion these systems to resist the moment and shear demands determined through structural analysis; develop an understanding of proper detailing of architectural concrete and masonry veneers by understanding thermal movements, waterproofing, and construction techniques. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
Under the supervision of a faculty advisor, students are responsible for the preparation and completion of an independent thesis project. Prerequisites: One of the degree project seminars. See footnotes on the curriculum sheet for a list of these classes or read the course descriptions in the "History and Theory" section which follows. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department, course not available via web registration Permission for this class is based on the student's overall academic record as well as their performance in Wintersession Degree Project Research. If the department recommends against a student undertaking the degree project, two advanced elective studios must be taken instead.
How can timeless human activities such as drawing and painting, relegated to the realm of the analogue, meaningfully engage 3D modeling platforms like Rhino/Grasshopper and contemporary output methods such as 3D printing? How can we learn to intuit in the realm of the virtual and what are the boundaries of this experience? This course will allow new ways of "seeing" and "feeling" and use a computational framework in the design process. Rather than take a conventional approach based on the technical aspects of a specific software program, students will be exposed to a rich diversity of potential work flows. The goal of this course is enhancing personal craft and technique through these digital tools while exploring new potential approaches to advanced technology. The explanation of textile structures and the architecture of cloth will serve as a starting point for ideas. Estimated Material Cost: TBD (base on Model Shop Fee Structure) Also offered as TEXT-4705. Register for course in which credit is desired. Open to Sophomore and Above.
This equally distributed three part course will continue with the principles from "Physics", the application of electric energy, lighting and sound to building environs. Building technology continues to demand a larger percentage of the building's budget and thus should receive a greater degree of time and understanding by the Architect. Topics and principles to be included are: electronic generation, distribution, and building systems; electronic and communication systems; lighting fundamentals, design and control; and enviro-acoustical fundamentals, sound transmission, amplification, and absorption principles. Major requirement; ARCH majors only Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
The course will focus on the diverse new roles encountered by the architect in the 20th century: form maker, administrator of urban development, social theorist, cultural interpreter, ideologue. Emphasis will be placed upon the increasing interdependence of architecture and the city, and the recurrent conflicts between mind and hand, modernity and locality, expressionism and universality. Major requirementfor Architecture majors Art History credit for Architecture majors Liberal Arts elective credit for nonmajors on a space available basis.
This is a course about becoming a licensed architect, a business professional and an active, engaged and responsible citizen. It is intended to help prepare students for the challenges and opportunities confronted by a life in Architecture. Lectures are organized around four themes: The architect as a trained and certified "Professional" in traditional and alternative careers; the architect as an operative in the world of business and commerce; the origins of architectural projects; and the detailed work performed through professional Architectural Contracts. Regular panels, composed of RISD alums and other allied professionals provide an external perspective on all elements of the course, and allow students the opportunity to direct discussion in ways appropriate to their needs. Major requirement; ARCH majors only. Registration by Architecture department. Course not available via web registration.
As over half the world's population has come to live in cities, urbanization has moved to the center of the environmental debate. This course will provide an interdisciplinary engagement between Sociology and Architecture to reflect on the past, present and future of ecological urbanism. Co-taught by professors from Architecture and Liberal Arts, the seminar will interrogate the ways in which green urban design has been conceptualized to date. It will explore cutting edge contemporary debates around the future of the green urban project and ask students to think forward into the future. Also offered as HPSS S151. Register in the course for which credit is desired. Permission of Instructor Required Sophomore and above
This course will review the fundamentals of wood in architecture with a focus on wood materials and construction systems and lumber and timber structural analysis and design. Work includes timber systems consisting of conventional framing trusses, laminates, built-up sections and connections. In addition, this course will review the principles of structural loads; gravity, lateral, live and dead. The concept of lateral resistance through standard wood framing systems will be explored. Manufactured lumber has become a major part of today's wood construction industry and the design and detailing of these materials will be explored in depth. By the end of the course, students will be aware of the role of wood materials in architectural design and construction and be able to design and detail simple Lumber and Timber structural systems. They will be able to proportion these systems to resist the moment and shear demands determined through structural analysis. This course will provide the student with a good understanding of the material and the common structural and architectural systems used in today's practice. Major Requirement: ARCH majors only.

Do you offer financial assistance or scholarships?
We only offer scholarships through agreements with partner universities. We recommend speaking with your university to see if your university is a partner and what funding is available for our program. Available funding varies from partner university to partner university. We do not offer scholarships to individuals who are not from one of our partner universities. If you are an individual not from one of our partner universities please view the following links for 3rd party financial aid: Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship: Institute of International Education
International Education Financial Aid: Financial Aid College Scholarship Search | IEFA

Can I live at home or a relative's house and take the housing out of the cost?
We are generally unable to remove any elements from our all-inclusive programs. The employers we work with depend and ask for this service, as it guarantees your reliability. However, if you have particular needs please do contact us.
Can I see a list of employers or choose to intern at a specific company?
We do not provide a list of partner companies. Firstly, our list of partner companies is not static. We often partner with new companies if they would be a better match for a participant. We have dedicated out-reach teams, working on our participants´ accounts, in all program destinations, meaning our list of partners is constantly growing and evolving. Secondly, we do not provide a list as interns then attempt to "pick and choose" which companies they specifically want to work for. This promotes unrealistic expectations, as partner company needs, your wishes & background and external factors such as timing are all taken into account during internship-placement. If you are accepted into our program you are guaranteed a great role in your area of interest. However, due to the factors listed above a specific company cannot be guaranteed.
When will I find out where I am interning?
Our Melbourne Team will engage in a collaborative internship placement process with you and confirm your internship role typically around four to six weeks before your departure date. Please note this is a guideline and may differ during peak seasons.
What happens if I don't get the internship I want?
When you apply you are asked to state your primary & secondary areas of interest (for example, primary preference: law, secondary preference: government & politics). You will be given the chance to discuss and confirm these sector choices during the phone/Skype interview with our Admissions Team. Successful applicants are guaranteed a professional internship in their primary or secondary area of interest.
We are highly experienced in internship placement and pride ourselves on successful matches between our participants and our partner companies. All companies we work with are extensively vetted to make sure they provide a rewarding internship experience for our talented participants. Our confidence in our program is demonstrated by our full money back guarantee.
Our program comes with a full money back guarantee if you are not placed in your primary or secondary area of interest – giving you peace of mind that you will have a fantastic internship experience abroad. It should be noted that the vast majority of interns receive their primary preference area.
Can I speak with the Australia Team before I am accepted and confirm my place in the program?
Due to high volume of applications, we only introduce successful applicants who have formally confirmed their place on the program to our team in Australia.
Top FAQs | Internship | Financing | Misc.
How does the internship placement process work?
Click here for our 'How It Works' page
Our programs are competitive and early applications are encouraged. Early applications get primary consideration for the most competitive roles in our extensive network. After applying to The Intern Group program and booking a convenient interview time, you will have a Skype/Phone interview with our Admissions Team.
In this 20 minute Skype/Phone interview we will question you about your background, experience and motivations, and discuss the opportunities available within your field. After your interview you will be informed within 3 business days if you have been successful in your application. Successful applicants will then be formally offered a place in our program. You will be asked to confirm your place in the program by making a deposit.
This deposit is fully refundable if you are not placed in your primary or secondary internship preference area – giving you peace of mind that you will have a fantastic internship experience abroad. Once we have received your deposit you will have formally joined our program and we will introduce you to our team on the ground in your destination. Our team will engage in a collaborative internship placement process with you and prepare you to Skype/Phone interview for well-suited roles in your areas of interest. Interviews will typically be arranged 4-10 weeks prior to your arrival.
Your internship role will typically be confirmed 4-6 weeks prior to your arrival (this is a guideline and may differ during peak seasons). We recommend that you book your flights once your internship details are confirmed. You are then all ready for a fantastic experience abroad.
What hours should I expect to work?
Typically, participants work an average work week of no more than 40 hours. The company at which you are interning will set your work hours but the majority of internships in Australia will take place between 9 am and 5 pm.
Will I obtain academic credit?
We work with universities around the world to assist their students with academic credit requirements. Please see our academic credit information page for more information.
Top FAQs | Internship | Financing | Misc.
When is payment due?
In order to confirm your place in the program, you must pay at least 50% of your outstanding balance within 28 days after we have confirmed your internship role. Any remainder is due at least 21 days before the start date of your program. All program fees must be paid in full by this date.
What is the refund/cancellation policy?
Your deposit is fully refundable if you are not placed in your primary or secondary internship preference area. Please see more details on the cancellation policy below:
(a) Your Initial Deposit ("Initial Deposit") is 500 British Pounds Sterling (abbreviated as GBP or £) regardless of destination. The Initial Deposit is for the sole purpose of reserving your position in the Program and covering certain related administrative expenses. Upon receiving your Initial Deposit, The Intern Group agrees to place you in an internship by the Placement Deadline.
(b) Upon payment of your Initial Deposit, you agree to fully co-operate with The Intern Group in its attempts to find you a placement and agree to do so until the passing of the Placement Deadline. Examples of noncooperation include, but are not limited to, not actively working with your assigned representatives from The Intern Group, skipping or missing scheduled internship interviews, not engaging in internship discussions with your Internship Coordinator, not responding to The Intern Group communications in a timely manner, allowing the placement process to be delayed due to missing agreed payment due dates and unreasonably refusing internships offered to you.
(c) If The Intern Group is unable to place you in an internship role in your Preference Area before the Placement Deadline, you will be given the option (i) to drop out of the Program and receive a refund of your Initial Deposit and all other Program payments made by you ("Full Refund"), or (ii) to request that The Intern Group continue the search process until you are placed; and if The Intern Group is still unable to place you within the extended time, you will receive a Full Refund.
(d) However, if you withdraw from the Program for any reason before the placement deadline other than The Intern Group's failure to place you by the Placement Deadline in your Preference Area, or if The Intern Group determines, in its sole discretion, that you did not fully co-operate in the placement process at any time before the Placement Deadline, The Intern Group will be entitled to 100% of your Initial Deposit.
If you withdraw from the Program for any reason after being placed with a partner organization, The Intern Group will be entitled to 100% of your Initial Deposit and 50% of the Program Fee. If notice is received by us less than 21 days before the Commencement Date, The Intern Group will be entitled to 100% of your Initial Deposit and 100% of the Program Fee. All requests for refunds must be received in writing within 30 days of withdrawal.
I don't need housing/social activities/etc – can I just pay for what I need?
Ours is an all-inclusive program for all participants, so we are generally unable to remove any elements from the program. However do get in touch if you have special requirements.
Top FAQs | Internship | Financing | Misc.
Is attendance at our events mandatory?
All of our events and activities that we organize are optional, but your internship is not. With The Intern Group, you may not miss work for any reason other than health and family emergencies unless previously approved by your employer.
What happens when I arrive in Melbourne?
You will be picked up by our trusted driver on arrival in Melbourne and given a welcome pack & induction by our team at your accommodation. In case you arrive in Melbourne after 11pm local time your welcome pack and induction will be given to you in the morning the next day.
Can I live in the accommodation for some time before or after my internship program?
We can only guarantee housing for the duration of your internship program. If you would like to stay longer, it may be possible to arrange this, but your program fee does not cover this cost and you will need to pay the accommodation provider for the extra time that you spend there.
Who will I be living with?
You will be living with program participants and local/international students.
Our focus is to provide a great experience and to manage serious issues before they become a problem.
It is your responsibility to have a nice, harmonious cohabitation. While we will assist in the case of serious problems, we expect all accepted participants to display high levels of independence, responsibility and maturity.

Don't pass up The Killing Floor on the mistaken notion that the film is a western shoot-em-up or cop drama. The title refers to that special area in the Chicago stockyards where the cattle are slaughtered (yes, we know: yeccch. But it happens). The story relates the true-life attempts to set up an interracial union at the stockyards during World War II. Nothing happens in the film that is not logical or understandable, so don't expect a last minute mano-y-mano duel fought with meat cleavers or some such. Well (and sometimes graphically) produced for PBS' American Playhouse, The Killing Floor stars Damien Leake as a southern black sharecropper seeking a better life in Chicago. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
