To engage the students beyond the lectures, we asked them to self-organize into small project teams to expand on issues related to or motivated by the subject matter presented in lectures. The students had roughly three weeks to focus in on a topic and put together a brief report. This volume is a collection of the student reports. Almost none of the students were "experts" in the issues they studied when they entered the program. Nonetheless, these reports show the multi-disciplinary teams they assembled were able to dig deeply into a number of interesting problems and point out some promising directions for further inquiry.

Below are links to specific parts of the Final Report in separate PDF pages. The entire document is also available in its entirety in a 100 page 5.4MB PDF. All PDF pages are printable.
