This course examines human anatomy. In laboratory classes using human cadavers, students gain fundamental knowledge of the anatomy of the brain and nerves; the anatomy of the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and digestive systems, and musculoskeletal anatomy. The laboratory classes are interwoven with lectures, tutorials and discussion groups. The course consider the processes of body donation and the ethical, legal and moral frameworks around which people donate their remains for anatomical learning, teaching and research.

This course provides the basic qualifications needed to use and describe the principles of modern geospatial science and geographic information systems. It provides a conceptual and practical introduction to geographic information systems with emphasis on practical data handling and data analysis. Teaching consists of lectures and practical computer exercises and two minor reports are produced during the course. The course identifies suitable methods to perform spatial analyses common in biological research and monitoring. Analyses is performed in the geographic information system software and documented in a professional scientific report.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of deep learning and illustrates how it is contributing to the practical design of intelligent machines. Deep learning is currently the most active area of research and development and in high demand for experts by hi-tech start-ups, large companies as well as academia. It is the preferred approach for modern AI and machine learning in any domain. This course demonstrates how deep learning techniques enable us to automatically extract features from data so as to solve predictive tasks, such as speech recognition, object recognition, machine translation, question-answering, anomaly detection, medical diagnosis and prognosis, automatic algorithm configuration, personalization, robot control, time series forecasting, and much more.

This course examines traditional and contemporary jazz literature in a variety of idioms and styles. Students prepare for an end-of-semester concert in weekly rehearsals that enable them to develop their technical proficiency, stylistic accuracy, improvisation skills, and creative expression.

With the advancement in Integrated Circuit (IC) fabrication and integration technologies, design-for-test and system-level testing have become indispensable. This course discusses concepts and technologies in VLSI testing. It starts with fault modeling, fault simulation, and test pattern generation. Then, the course introduces design-for-test, built-in-self-test, and memory testing. Finally, the course will address challenges and solutions to system-level tests.
