The course studies the basic structure of China's economy by exploring its historical origins, cultural backgrounds, geographical features, and institutional evolutions. It examines changes within the economic and business environment in China and their likely implications on Southeast Asian economies.

This course focuses on technology for modern and emerging user interfaces and hardware, with an emphasis on physical computing. Learning takes place in two ways: a theoretical component introducing both classic and the latest and most exciting research around novel user interfaces; and a practical component to gain hands-on skills in building novel physical interfaces.

This course introduces environmental engineering and sustainability, covering the hydrological cycle, how to assess the quantity of water available for use (potable water supply, irrigation, etc.), how to ensure the required water quantity is sustainably met and what challenges are currently faced by engineers. Furthermore, transport contamination in water is covered through transport phenomena principles. Environmental sustainability is examined in an engineering context, including basic concepts such as life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment. 

This course covers foundational concepts of machine learning for beginners with limited programming experience. Students use elementary machine learning algorithms with programming languages, such as Python to solve real-life problems with data sets. In addition, this course develops the mathematical basis for students to understand how basic machine learning techniques such as singular-value decomposition, principal component analysis, and linear least squares for linear regression work.

The course is to introduces the basic concepts of Homological Algebra including modules, diagrams, functors, homology of complexes, tensor products, group homology, and cohomology.
