This course introduces the foundations of intelligent systems, such as probabilistic modeling and inference, statistical machine learning, computer vision, and robotics, to undergraduate students. Topics include Bayesian networks, hidden Markov models, Kalman filters, Markov decision processes, linear regression, linear classification, and nonparametric models. Students will also learn about how these methods are applied to practical applications such as computer vision and robotics. 

This course covers fundamental concepts in various computer vision topics related to robotics, examining approaches and solutions in visual recognition problems for robots. Topics include 3D environment modeling/3D reconstruction, and object detection, recognition, and tracking using deep learning. 

All students must complete an individual project on a related topic. Suggested prerequisites: Linear algebra and probability theory, programming skills. 

This course approaches the Korean Constitution from normative and contextual perspectives and examines the framework of the Korean Constitution and political structure. Topics include the origin and historical development of the Korean Constitution, preamble and legitimacy issues of the Korean Constitution, the political structure and the mechanisms of a democratic constitutional order, the guarantees of fundamental right, and the specific features of Korean constitutionalism. The latter half of the course is dedicated to group presentations and discussions in the format of an academic conference. 

This course examines the primary responsibilities of Congress and its relationships with other political actors. Topics include the theoretical underpinnings of Congress, the rules and procedures that make Congress a unique form of national legislature, the behavior of members in Congress, and the course focuses both on academic study as well as practical applications to the real political world (for example, students will draft, submit, and present a bill proposal.) While this course centers upon Korean and American systems, conclusions drawn from discussion may apply to other systems and countries as well.

This course covers the human microbiome and the interactions these microorganisms have with the human body and with disease. Students explore the pathological mechanism of disease by learning about the morphological and functional changes in each organ tissue due to the cause, developmental mechanism, and progression of diseases occurring in the human body.  Topics include the microbe-human ecosystem, microbial interactions, host-microbe interactions, normal microbiota, the formation of the human microbiome, maternal microbes, gut microbes, digestive infection systems, pro- and prebiotics, etc. 

This course explores key concepts and principles of the techniques used to give textiles various colors. Dyeing is the process of imparting color to textiles using dyes or pigments, and it is the most efficient method for enhancing the marketability and aesthetic appeal of clothing products. Students will study the fundamentals of fiber science to understand the structure and characteristics of textiles and learn about the theory of dye chemistry to comprehend the properties and interactions of diverse chemical substances used in dyeing. Additionally, the course examines color theory to explore how textile dyeing can enhance product quality. 

This course provides an overview of world and East Asian economic history from the late 19th century to the present and cultivates a historical approach essential to understanding economics by introducing major research topics pertaining to each era and from diverse fields. 

This course builds independent research ability by introducing students to reading key historic documents, conducting research on modern economic history, and writing research papers. The course encourages a comparative historical perspective by juxtaposing European economic history with that of China, Japan, and Korea. 

This course provides a thorough understanding of how sports technology and innovations evolve within the industry and equips students for careers in this dynamic and constantly evolving field. The course builds creative and critical thinking skills by examining real-life cases in the sports technology landscape, and as students participate in discussions and hands-on projects. Topics include wearable devices, eSports, data analytics, and sports marketing.  

This course introduces the definition of chronic diseases and major diseases and covers the frequency and distribution of chronic diseases and major risk factors. It also analyzes major issues and research cases related to the prevention and management of chronic diseases and discusses projects and policies for health promotion.  

Students will be able to describe the pathogenic sequence of events associated with development of major chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and arthritis); understand risk factors for major chronic diseases; and identify factors that are associated with increased risk of major chronic diseases.
