In this subject, students are introduced to gene structure and function, DNA replication, transcription and translation; molecular biology; protein structure and its relationship to protein function.

By teaching the basic concepts, basic theories and practical applications of fluid mechanics, students will be able to enter flow-related professional studies, scientific research or engineering design to lay a solid foundation in fluid mechanics.

This course focuses on training students' comprehensive and detailed observation and computational analysis skills of flow phenomena, and cultivates students' scientific thinking methods to grasp the key points from the complex fluid movements and then extract fluid mechanics models from the basic principles. Actively guide students to pay attention to the understanding of physical concepts and the nature of flow, and learn from theory and practice through the study of engineering examples.

This course takes a comparative perspective to look into early Chinese and Daoist philosophy. It starts with textual reading, follows with comparative ideas, including freedom and fate, illness and death, disabilities and social exclusion, war and peace, tolerance and toleration, language and social practices, etc. It focuses on group discussions, and research methodology.

This course aims to cultivate students' self-awareness, leadership development, and communication skills based on the fundamental theories and principles of leadership and management communication. The course consists of self-assessment, practical training workshops, case study, and experiments. Students will learn: leadership style and effective leaders, leading groups and organization, communication and effective methods. Students will acquire skills such as: goal-oriented leadership communication, evaluation of personality traits, cognitive abilities, and decision styles and assessment of communication style and effective communication. And students will be able to enhance leadership and group productivity, improve effective communication, and capture potential requirements to design products and services.

The aim of this course is to let students understand all the basic concepts in biochemistry, and at same time, develop their ability of reading scientific literature directly in English and critical thinking.

After taking the course, students would be able to master basic knowledge and skills about deep learning, construct basic DL models for solving various science and engineering problems, and understand the cutting edge research papers.

This course serves as an introductory course to high-level language programming, specifically designed for students with no prior experience. It can also act as a foundational course for other information-related subjects. The goal is for students to grasp the fundamental concepts and methods of object-oriented programming, understand the basic syntax and programming techniques of C++, learn to use integrated development environments, master program debugging methods, gain a preliminary understanding of common data structures and non-numerical algorithms, and get an initial introduction to the usage of the C++ Standard Template Library (STL).

This course combines the fundamentals of engineering materials with their applications. By means of lectures, discussion, and lab exercises, the students are enabled to understand the relationships among the four elements of materials science and engineering, i.e., composition and processing, microstructure, property, and performance.

This course will focus on the advanced technologies in 3D visual computing in the era of big data. The course will cover a brief introduction to the basic concepts in the geometric analysis including curve, surface, 3D representations, 3D transformations, etc., with the goal of fostering students’ geometric understanding of 3D data. …

Chinese political economy covers both major theoretical and practical perspectives of exploring Chinese political economy. This course will focus on the political and economic reforms in China since the beginning of the reform and opening-up. It will utilize theoretical perspectives from political science, economics and sociology to systematically analyze the key theoretical and practical issues of China's reform. These issues include the party-state relationship, state capacity, cadre selection and promotion, fiscal and taxation reforms, central-local relations, digital political economy, and government responsiveness. The course aims to clarify the core logic and operational mechanisms of China's reform，and clarify the key advantages of Chinese political economy institutions. The design, content and format of this course are aimed optimally to benefit students in both knowledge accumulation and practical orientation.
