This course introduces the fundamentals of medical imaging and image processing techniques. This includes X-ray projection imaging, X-ray computer tomography (CT), nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasounds and ultrasonic imaging, and optical imaging.

When an elastic body is subjected to a load, it deforms and causes stresses. This course explains the basis of continuum mechanics called elasticity, which treats these phenomena mathematically and where deformation is assumed to be infinitesimal.

Course Prerequisites: It is assumed that class participants have fundamental knowledge in "Mechanics of Materials" and "Mathematics."

This course considers global business strategy from two perspectives: the first focuses on the internationalization process of the firm that covers decisions needed to be made prior to the entry into a foreign market (pre-entry), while the second covers issues that may emerge or need to be taken into account after a firm’s entry into a foreign market, such as changing government regulations or demands of local stakeholders (post-entry). Offering a global perspective on firm strategy, this innovative course is a blend between international business and strategy with the elements of political science, sociology, and marketing. When dealing with each topic, it looks at theories and models that lie at the foundation of our understanding of their properties and basic relationships with firm strategy and its outcomes, and then look at them in a global perspective, i.e. how they may be different across countries and organizations. The course entails several case-based workshops, group reports, and presentations, all of which give students a chance to generate hands-on experience with the theories and models of the course.

This course examines methods for using data to assist in decision making in business and industrial applications. Software packages will be used to solve practical problems. Topics such as linear programming, transportation and assignment models, network algorithms, queues, Markov chains, inventory models, simulation, analytics and visualization will be considered.

This course offers an overview of the air transport industry and the infrastructures needed to ensure aircraft fulfill safe and efficient operations. The course is divided into three parts: Air transportation, air navigation, and airports. 

This course examines the methods frequently used to find numerical solutions to problems that arise in applied mathematics. The topics covered include methods for solving linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, interpolation, differentiation, integration and the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations.

This course examines the developments of feminist theories and feminist activism over the last 200 years. Topics include: types of feminism, genealogies of exclusion; private vs public and equality vs difference; conceptions of sex and genders; queer status and a deconstruction of binaries; intersectionality and decentered feminism in the context of post-colonial or de-colonial views.

This course provides fundamental knowledge on microeconomics with policy applications and implications considered. Some rudimentary mathematics (basic mathematical graphs/diagrams) are used, and students are required to understand theories by drawing relevant graphs/diagrams.　
　
Course lectures provide essential notions and theories followed by practical sessions follow. The course also includes several topics on behavioral economics. 
 

This course is a history of the personal and institution library, focusing on Renaissance Europe, a pivotal period of enormous cultural, religious, and technological changes. Students examine some masterworks—Petrarch, Machiavelli, Montaigne, Cervantes, Marlowe, and the visual arts. Additional topics include other sites of knowledge such as the cabinet of curiosities, museums, anatomy galleries and gardens and the questions of how knowledge is created and destroyed? How did people cope with information overload in the past? The course requires students to take prerequisites.
