This course introduces the history, evolution, and contemporary practices of clinical psychology. Students use the scientist practitioner model to study underlying theoretical frameworks and the skills and practices of clinical psychologists. Ethical and professional issues covered include classification and diagnosis, clinical research, assessment, case formulation and treatment planning, interventions, and prevention. The materials are discussed in the context of typical work settings of clinical psychologists (e.g. mental health, forensic or neuropsychological) and across varied client populations (e.g. children, adults, couples). The course requires students to take prerequisites.

Spanish 3 (A.2.1 level), is an elementary level at the CLS. This course offers a combination of listening and speaking practice and introduces past tenses (pretérito perfecto compuesto, pretérito perfecto simple and pretérito imperfecto) via targeted reading and writing activities. The course continues to incorporate Spanish cultural elements through representative texts and audio-visual materials.

This course introduces the basic concepts and techniques of planning, design and operations within a facility. Topics include forecasting techniques, aggregate planning, inventory management, material requirements planning, process planning, production systems and operations scheduling. Students examine the intuitions behind many manufacturing logistics concepts and demonstrate the application of operations research techniques to this area. The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course provides students with the knowledge and professional development for the 21st century organization. Students learn contemporary organizational communication theories and concepts, the dynamism of working in teams and diversity, as well as leadership communication skills essential in today’s technology-driven and digitally connected global workplace. Students apply case studies to solve the problems and challenges faced by the contemporary globally connected workplaces, learn how to manage intercultural sensitivities and interactions, and demonstrate effective decision-making and conflict-management processes in the workplace through a strong understanding of organizational communicative processes and relationships.

This course covers mathematical concepts and algorithms that allow society to recover the 3D geometry of camera motions and the structures in its environment. Topics include projective geometry, camera model, one-/two-/three-/N-View reconstructions and stereo, generalized cameras and non- rigid structure-from-motion. The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course examines selected aspects of computational intelligence methods in-depth and students develop and test intelligent automation systems. Topics include how computational intelligence methods like artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, deep learning algorithms and computer vision have been extensively applied in the design of intelligent control and automation systems such as autonomous vehicles, visual inspection of industrial products, automated analysis and screening of volumes of medical images. 

This course introduces advanced mathematical knowledge used in quantitative finance, including differential equations, numerical partial differential equations, optimization and dynamic programming, advanced probability, and neural network. Motivating examples in finance will be given as well. The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course furthers the fundamental mathematical knowledge and skills that are necessary in engineering. Topics include complex numbers, vectors, matrices, limits and continuity of functions, derivatives and integration and their applications, multivariable calculus, partial derivatives, ordinary differential equations, double integrals in polar coordinates, dot product, and cross product. The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course consists of a series of lectures, film viewings and workshops, and explores the different genres and practices of the cinematic non-fiction film form. Topics include a brief history and theory of the documentary as political propaganda, investigative essay, personal journal, and cinema verité observation, through the study of documentary auteurs. Students develop an understanding of the ethical precepts and an appreciation of the aesthetics and intellectual rigor of the documentary form. Through practice, students learn the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking. Students develop the ability to identify, conceptualize and research a topic, negotiate access to characters or events, manage a production through efficient budgeting and scheduling, and create a short non-fiction cinematic narrative with coherent artistic vision and intellectual purpose. Students create a documentary film project working in groups of two, where teams write, shoot, direct and edit a video documentary no more than 60 minutes of video per group with the finished film at 4-6 minutes long, complete with titles and credits. This includes oral pitches. The films are to be submitted as self-contained MOV files. Continuous assessment components include both written and studio-based exercises.

This course examines the fusion of physics of biology that forms the basis of modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technology and traces its roots from the foundational theories to its implementation in medical procedures. Students learn how such technology is applied to disease management, as well as the modern innovations that pave the way towards the future of healthcare. Topics include how medical technology is one of the most important applications of science and technology; how it provides the means to protect and preserve lives in today’s world of ageing population, proliferation of chronic diseases, global pandemics and rising pollution. The course requires students to take prerequisites.
