This course covers learning the French language at an intermediate level and introduces basic grammar and vocabulary. To enhance the effectiveness of learning French, this course encourages students to develop an interest in the French language and culture. Students learn the structure of French sentences, how to express French tenses, and practice writing skills by focusing on vocabulary and phrases used in daily life. 

Prerequisite: FRENCH(1) 

This course explores the intersection of economics and environmental challenges, equipping students with theoretical frameworks and empirical tools to address pressing environmental issues. The course covers the role of economics in environmental issues, market process modeling, market failure analysis (e.g., air quality markets and externalities), and policy approaches including command-and-control, market-based solutions, risk analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. Students also examine real-world cases such as air pollution (defining air quality, controlling mobile and stationary sources, ozone depletion, and climate change), water pollution (quality, point and non-point sources, safe drinking water), and solid waste and toxic substance management. The course concludes with a focus on sustainable development, including SDGs and climate change issues. The teaching methodology integrates theoretical lectures with case studies, supplemented by contemporary examples such as COP21, the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under Trump, and comparisons of BMW's environmental initiatives and scandals.

Prerequisites: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics

This course covers current topics on aerobiology and public health. The particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to, cutting-edge technologies used for aerobiological research, effects of airborne microorganisms on global climate, emerging airborne infectious diseases, or biodefense associated with airborne microbial agents. Prerequisites: Aerobiology and Public Health

This course covers the world of luxury fashion from a brand management perspective. Topics include the nature of luxury, brand promise, and brand engagement. The course also discusses how global market dynamics, digital transformation, and customer expectation shifts shape the future of luxury fashion.  

Students gain a deep understanding of how luxury fashion brands differentiate themselves from mass market brands as well as strategic brand management skills. 

This course, "Gaming, Esports, and Interactive Narratives," offers a comprehensive exploration of the gaming and esports landscape, covering the cultural, artistic, and technical dimensions of games. Students examine complex questions about games' potential to achieve a depth of character development and insight into the human experience comparable to novels or films. Through literary criticism, postmodern theory, and cinema studies, we analyze how interactive narratives and visual design contribute to unique player experiences. Additionally, students gain an advanced understanding of the cultural and aesthetic history of games. A distinctive feature of this course is its integration of industry expertise. Gen G—one of the largest and most innovative companies in gaming— provides guest lecturers throughout the semester, including influential figures from the gaming industry, professional gamers, and experienced developers. These guest speakers offer valuable insights into the latest trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the gaming industry today. Guided by a "learning by doing" philosophy and a problem- and project-based learning (PBL) approach, students explore interactive narrative design and develop advanced game literacy. Hands-on assignments introduce students to the game development process, emphasizing game design principles and team collaboration. Through this approach, students understand the diverse roles within a game development team, gaining insights into how each role contributes to the overall design and player experience—laying the foundation for creative and collaborative project work.

This course introduces the basic principles and hardware structures of a modern programmable computer. Students will explore computer architecture as the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create a computer that meets functional, performance and cost goals. 

 Students will learn how to design the control and datapath for a pipelined RISC processor and how to design fast memory and storage systems. The principles presented in lecture are reinforced in the laboratory through design and simulation of a register transfer (RT) implementation of a RISC processor pipeline in Verilog.
