Course Description
The course is designed to prepare students for leadership in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse workforce. Throughout the course, students are challenged to question, think, and respond thoughtfully to the issues they observe and encounter in the internship setting, and the designated city in general. Students have the opportunity to cultivate the leadership skills of problem-solving, deliberation, negotiation, teamwork, intercultural communication, and systems thinking. In addition, the virtual nature of the course, with classmates attending from different regions of the world, offers a unique opportunity for cross-cultural comparative analysis. This is a hybrid course, with both online and in-person components. Online components include instructor led webinars, video lectures, discussion forums, assignments, and readings. Face-to-face elements of the course include local events, site visits, workshops, guest speakers, and participation in a prearranged internship, where students are required to work approximately 280-320 internship hours over the 8-week term.

Course Description
Solving problems in areas such as business, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, humanities, and social sciences often requires manipulating, analysing, and visualising data through computer programming. This course teaches students with little or no background in computer programming how to design and write small programs using a high-level procedural programming language, and to solve simple problems using these skills. On completion of this subject the student is expected to: 1.Use the fundamental programming constructs (sequence, alternation, selection) 2.Use the fundamental data structures (arrays, records, lists, associative arrays) 3.Use abstraction constructs such as functions 4.Understand and employ some basic program structures 5.Understand and employ some basic algorithmic problem solving techniques 6.Read, write, and debug simple, small programs

RANDOM ALGORITHMS
UCEAP Quarter Units

UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
In this course applications for randomization in many areas are considered, e.g., graph algorithms, machine learning, distributed computing, and geometry, but the focus is on the general understanding, the goal being to give the students the foundation needed to understand and use randomization, no matter what application area they may later be interested in. The course covers the relevant combinatorial probability theory and randomized techniques in algorithms, including: Game Theoretic Techniques; Moments and Deviations; Tail Inequalities; The Probabilistic Method; Markov Chains and Random Walks; Randomized Data Structures; Randomized Geometric Algorithms; Randomized Graph Algorithms; Randomized Distributed and Parallel Algorithms. Students learn to: prove bounds on the expected running time of randomized algorithms; explain methods for bounding the probability that a random variable deviates far from its expectation; apply the probabilistic method to prove the existence of e.g. algorithms; give algorithmic applications of random walks; give simple and efficient algorithms and data structures using randomization where more traditional deterministic approaches are more cumbersome or less efficient.
