This course examines enterprising behavior in a multi-disciplinary manner relevant to understanding and addressing real world challenges of today. It introduces skills needed to identify and assess opportunities, solve problems creatively, communicate persuasively, work effectively in teams, and understand individual and organizational impact.

This course introduces the basic tools of game theory and its applications to business choices. The course covers normal form and extensive form games, games of perfect and imperfect/incomplete information, and introduces equilibrium concepts such as Nash equilibrium, subgame-perfect equilibrium and perfect Bayesian equilibrium. It also looks at repeated games and the theory of reputation.

This course provides an overview of contemporary popular culture in Korea, with a focus on the media’s role in expressing and shaping it. Students will learn theoretical concepts to analyze Korean popular culture from an academic perspective, covering topics such as gender, collective memory, music, Korean wave, film, broadcasting and more. The course includes group research projects and class discussions. 

This course provides an introduction to the statistical and econometric theory underlying surveys and counterfactual policy evaluations, which have long played a prominent role in democracies' political life. Doing so, it sharpens critical appraisal of the very many surveys and policy evaluations that are to be found in public discourse. This class uses mathematical notation and proofs: students should be motivated to engage with mathematically formalized material.

This course examines linguistic phenomena relating to the structure of language and how those phenomena are formulated and explained under the framework of so-called Generative Grammar.  

Course objectives include: i) to understand what is meant by the structure of language, ii) to examine linguistic facts discerned to be structural, iii) to appreciate conceptual/theoretical necessities to account for them (e.g., diverse developments from Generative to Minimalism), iv) to have a grasp of the idea of universal grammar. 

Topics include linguistics and syntax, ingredients of structure: linearity and hierarchy, syntactic categories, words to phrases, two kinds of merge: substitution and adjunction (external or internal), introduction to P-markers, various structural relations (Binding Theory), complement vs. adjunct (and specifier), covert elements: trace vs. empty categories (PRO/pro), movement and interpretation: 1. grammatical functions 2. thematic roles 3. displacement (overt movement vs. covert movement like QR), and transformation: substitution and ellipsis. 

This lecture and laboratory-based course aims to give students a solid foundation in basic physiological processes in animals, with a focus on the different ways in which animals are adapted to their environments. Particular emphasis will be placed on marine and desert animals, and the integrative mechanisms involved in the regulation of important organ systems. Topics include endocrine feedback, neural integration, water, food and salt balance, cardiorespiratory systems, thermoregulation, metabolism and reproduction.

This class provides fundamental understanding of energy conversion by use of power electronic devices. Students are expected to perform analysis and synthesis of power electronic systems after this course. Expected outcome includes: 1. Demonstrate the ability to analyze switching power converters in steady state using circuit averaging and determine DC voltages and currents 2. Be able to sketch current and voltage waveforms in a converter in steady state 3. Demonstrate the ability to size passive filtering components in converters such as inductors and capacitors to obtain a desired ripple performance 4. Demonstrate the ability to derive small-signal linearized models for switching converters 5. Demonstrate an understanding of the effects of negative feedback on converter operation 6. Demonstrate the ability to simulate switching converter using both switching models and averaged models via PSCPICE. 

Prerequisite: EEE2010 (Basic Circuit Theory) 

This course introduces the field of critical linguistics which addresses the linguistic effects of political and cultural oppression, marginalization, colonialism, and coloniality. It is also a field interested in articulating a new view of language that emphasizes the experience of language as intimate and lived, implied in structures of hegemony of power, as well as its potential for liberation, freedom, and creativity. DP requirements: None. Assessment: Continuous assessment (essays, projects, tests, etc.) counts 100%. Third-year status is required for admission.
