Course Description
This course examines how China has grown into the second largest economy in the world and how it has been integrated into the market-oriented global trade, investment and financial systems. The course introduces the dyanmics of China's evolving governance/growth model and its implications for the global economy, focusing particularly on the interactions between China's domestic reform and the opening of its trade, investment and financial sector. Topics include how cross-border trade and investment and decentralization of economic management to local governments turned China into a global manufacturing powerhouse, how investment in infrastructure and liberalization of product and input markets led to rapid urbanization, and how rapid growth created new challenges such as corruption, pollution, inequality, excessive debts, over-capacity, bubbles in property and financial markets, imbalance in trade, stress of US-China economic relations, and issues about macroeconomic management and RMB.

Course Description
This is a project-based course that offers a hands-on learning experience of the subject topics of robotics, perception and AI with applications in human-robot interaction. Students are required to first put together a workable mobile robotic manipulation platform using the provided mobile base and robotic arm, customized with perception sensing devices. Subsequently students use the mobile robotic manipulation system and the sensing devices to achieve perception and AI empowered real-world human-robot interaction with prescribed task objectives and scopes. Students work in small groups to study the hardware and learn the required ROS (Robot Operating System) software platform, understand the task requirements, work out feasible solutions, and accomplish the course project objectives. During the process, students acquire basic knowledge and practical skills of robotics, perception and AI.

Course Description
With dwindling energy resources, environmental impact of fossil fuel utilization and concerns on energy security, sustainability has gained increasing importance. In fact, modern society relies on stable and inexpensive energy supply and renewable energy is a significant component of the new energy mix. The course tackles energy conversion, utilization and storage for renewable technologies such as wind, solar, biomass, fuel cells and hybrid systems. Thermodynamics concepts, including the first law and the description of the various forms of energy, will form the basis for identifying, analyzing and modeling renewable energy systems. The course also touches upon the environmental consequences of energy conversion and how renewable energy systems can be used effectively to mitigate global climate change.

Course Description
Computational approaches are becoming increasingly popular in the social sciences and in the humanities, and linguistics is no exception. Large databases, computer models and statistical analyses – to mention better-known research paradigms – allow revisits to long-debated issues in the field, such as how languages are born, change, compete or die. This course provides an overview of the available methods and of their application to sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, phonology, syntax and other fields. During the tutorials, students acquire basic skills in computational linguistics, such as extracting data from existing linguistic databases or modelling linguistic diversity.
