This course introduces the foundations of intelligent systems, such as probabilistic modeling and inference, statistical machine learning, computer vision, and robotics, to undergraduate students. Topics include Bayesian networks, hidden Markov models, Kalman filters, Markov decision processes, linear regression, linear classification, and nonparametric models. Students will also learn about how these methods are applied to practical applications such as computer vision and robotics. 

This course covers fundamental concepts in various computer vision topics related to robotics, examining approaches and solutions in visual recognition problems for robots. Topics include 3D environment modeling/3D reconstruction, and object detection, recognition, and tracking using deep learning. 

All students must complete an individual project on a related topic. Suggested prerequisites: Linear algebra and probability theory, programming skills. 

This course provides a thorough understanding of how sports technology and innovations evolve within the industry and equips students for careers in this dynamic and constantly evolving field. The course builds creative and critical thinking skills by examining real-life cases in the sports technology landscape, and as students participate in discussions and hands-on projects. Topics include wearable devices, eSports, data analytics, and sports marketing.  

This course develops basic volleyball skills, game playing skills, and a knowledge of the rules and practice of volleyball.

This course explores the concept and process of design thinking. Students will gain awareness of their own process, develop research skills and methods necessary for any design project, both in academia and in the commercial world, and examine methods for projecting plausible futures based on current trends. 

The course introduces the history and development of thoughts on design as a discipline and important concepts that have significantly contributed to design research and studies. Students will encounter curated design thoughts and assignments to help develop their own perspectives on design and produce useful/usable work pieces for their career.  

This course covers basic knowledge of modern biology that students studying natural sciences must have with an emphasis on life phenomena from a molecular interpretation. 

Topics include hormones, sensory organs, integration and coordination of the nervous system, movement, classification of organisms, ecology, and behavior. 

This course explores the interplay of parody, rewriting, and intertextuality in eighteenth-century British fiction and will examine how authors of the period and beyond engage with each other's works and with broader cultural contexts and norms. Through close reading, analysis, and discussion students will gain an understanding of the evolution of the novel form and its relationship to other forms, texts, and contexts.

This course covers the techniques and theories of motion graphics. Motion graphics in a broad sense refers to the entire visual media that encompasses both live-action films and animations. However, in a general context, motion graphics can be defined as a video that has a short running time, conveys a message effectively, and emphasizes visual style rather than narrative. 

Students will learn various theories and skills needed to create a motion graphic; critique various motion graphic videos; and create animation using movie clips, images, text and special effects then learn how to add sound and master it for the final media project. 

This course introduces students to English poetry of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Poetry written during this period tends to be formal and stylized as well as public and political in content. Students will learn how to analyze the formal elements of poetry and to identify various poetic genres including the sonnet, epic/mock-epic, pastoral/georgic, and the elegy. The course will address the following questions: How does poetic form communicate meaning? Why do certain poetic forms prevail over others in given historical periods? What kinds of changes do we see in poetic authorship and readership in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? How do poets engage in conversations with one another? We will begin with shorter poems, progress to longer selections from Milton and Pope, and end with abolition poetry and poems about animals. 

This course examines pedagogical theories, strategies, and applications related to blended learning in formal and informal science learning environments. Students will engage in a blended learning science practicum, developing and implementing a blended learning science module for upper elementary school students.
