Intelligent vehicles can communicate with other vehicles or roadside units and behave autonomously. They are believed to significantly change the way that people move from one place to another. This class introduces fundamental knowledge in intelligent vehicles and then focuses on some specific advanced topics (e.g., security). The knowledge and topics bring state-of-the-art technology to students and develop their skills in system modeling, design, and analysis.

There are mainly four parts in this class:
(1) Background: This part introduces traditional (i.e., without connectivity and autonomy) system architecture, vehicular networks, and basic design and analysis approaches.
(2) Applications: This part introduces applications of intelligent vehicles, including advanced driver-assistance systems, cooperative adaptive cruise control, and intersection management.
(3) Technology: This part introduces the technology which is needed to realize the applications of intelligent vehicles.
(4) Advanced Topics: This part introduces advanced topics such as over-the-air update, security, and certification.

Depending on students' interests, final projects can be survey, implementation, or research.

This course, intended for international students, provides a study of Earth sciences, natural forces, and natural hazard mitigations. Instruction is provided by experts from four key fields of Earth sciences, who focus on the natural forces and phenomena surrounding the island of Taiwan. Through this course students explore the vibrancy, and sometimes unpredictable risk, of living on this beautiful island. The course format includes lectures, guest speakers, group discussions, and field trips to locations with important natural phenomena. 

This course is suitable for students majoring in or specializing in biochemistry. It is recommended to have studied organic chemistry first. The course content covers units such as amino acids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids, and further details their biochemical principles, mechanisms of action, metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms. Because "Molecular Biology" is a compulsory course for the Department of Biochemical Technology, in order to avoid repetition, this course does not teach molecular biology. Sole material to be used in the course: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8th Edition.
