This course introduces the fundamentals of medical imaging and image processing techniques. This includes X-ray projection imaging, X-ray computer tomography (CT), nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasounds and ultrasonic imaging, and optical imaging.

This course is a history of the personal and institution library, focusing on Renaissance Europe, a pivotal period of enormous cultural, religious, and technological changes. Students examine some masterworks—Petrarch, Machiavelli, Montaigne, Cervantes, Marlowe, and the visual arts. Additional topics include other sites of knowledge such as the cabinet of curiosities, museums, anatomy galleries and gardens and the questions of how knowledge is created and destroyed? How did people cope with information overload in the past? The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course introduces students to three major ethical theories' utilitarianism, Kant's deontology, and virtue ethics. Additional topics include the ethical principles underlying academic integrity, research ethics, and intellectual property. Students examine issues related to the ethics of environmental sustainability and conservation and are challenged apply the ethical theories learned to concrete moral problems, including world poverty, corporate accountability and whistleblowing, and workplace discrimination. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis only.

This course provides a conceptual-level introduction to the field of machine learning and its most important techniques. Students examine how machine learning (ML) is the dominant component of modern research in artificial intelligence and that although ML is largely associated with computer science and software engineering, many of its foundational techniques have historical roots in the natural and social sciences and are commonly used in those fields.

This course focuses on creation of films that allow experimentation in various stages of filmmaking processes, including the development of various alternate forms of (non) narrative story structures. Students are exposed to a range of conceptual and production strategies in experimental film using key historical and contemporary examples and then put those ideas into practice through exercises and projects to develop their own experimental film practice. Experience and knowledge gained in this module provide a basis for more developed experimental film production, as well as complementing research into this field. By the end of the course, students can conceptualize, film, edit, and present their own short experimental films.

This interdisciplinary elective course introduces students to how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the arts and how to use AI techniques to create art. Students learn about the unique artistic potential of AI and machine learning and how to apply them to the creative process for both inspiration and as a medium. This course is intended for artists, designers, as well as computer science and engineering students and students interested in how machine learning can be applied in the context of creative industries. There are no prerequisites, and the course is designed to be accessible to anyone.

This fundamental course examines signals and systems. Topics include the relationship between signals and systems, time and frequency domain representations, Fourier and Laplace transforms, spectrum of a signal, frequency response of systems (Bode diagrams), sampling theorem, linear time invariant systems, convolution, transfer functions, stability of feedback systems, modulation and filters. The course requires students to take a prerequisite.

In this course, students learn to apply the One Health approach to address public health issues with a focus on infectious diseases. Students examine how the concept of One Health recognizes that the health of people is intertwined with the health of animals and their shared environment. Understanding this concept allows the integration of information from these three health domains when creating programs, policies, and legislation to achieve better public health outcomes. Current major public health concerns will be analyzed, and One Health interventions contrasted to a traditional approach for students to better appreciate the differences.

This course introduces the theory and practical skills of near-distance microphone techniques for a variety of acoustic and electric/electronic instruments. This course covers basic Pro Tools skills, and overdub techniques. Students are required to complete at least five multitrack sessions independently during the semester. This course requires a prerequisite.

The course examines the appeal of science fiction and fantasy as a serious fictional engagement with consensual sense of reality. It addresses fantasy, speculative fiction, and science fiction as forms of narrative engaged in “world-building” and “word-shaping,” studying such fictional constructs as forms of sociological and anthropological knowledge. It also examines the relation between the “strange” and the “real” in terms of the shared and the antithetical elements that relate s/f to realism.
