This course seeks to build a foundation of physical principles underlying neuroengineering techniques, including electrical, optical, and magnetic approaches to neural recording and stimulation. We will discuss neural recording probes and materials considerations that influence the quality of the signals and longevity of the probes in the brain. This will be accompanied by the discussion of evolution of neural probes from microwires in the 1950s, to Utah arrays in the 1980s, to modern Neuropixels, meshes, and fibers.

This course focuses on the development of the skills of sight translation, consecutive interpreting, note taking, and introducing simultaneous interpretation. Coursework includes relevant interpreting theoretical frameworks and practice exercises in different settings with self-assessment. It also covers topic preparation skills, a review of ethics and standards of practice in classroom activities, and the application of available technologies, including telephonic and video remote interpreting.

This course continues introduction to American Sign Language (ASL) for non-signers. Students will learn to appreciate and respect ASL as a living, unique, and wholly naturally occurring language, and recognize Deaf people as a community with their own set of cultural traditions and values. After taking the course, students will be able to learn and use American Sign Language for daily conversational needs. The class taught primarily in ASL.

No matter where you end up in tech, you will need to explain concepts, products and ideas to people with different technical backgrounds. This course is intended to help prepare you for these communication tasks. Through the lens of tutoring, we will work on explaining technical ideas clearly and compassionately to others. We will do some theoretical study, including a history of CS education as well as brain and learning science, and some practice, including tutoring beginning students in CS.

Chemical, physical, and biological properties of proteins and nucleic acids. Macromolecular structure of biopolymers; optical, hydrodynamic, and magnetic resonance techniques; multiple equilibria; relaxation kinetics, and conformational transitions.

This course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of statistical science. It does not rely on detailed derivations of mathematical concepts, but does require mathematical sophistication and reasoning. It is an introduction to statistical thinking/reasoning, data management, statistical analysis, and statistical computation. Concepts in this course will be developed in greater mathematical rigor later in the statistical curriculum, including in STAT 515, 516, 525, and 535. It is intended to be the first course in statistics taken by math majors interested in statistics.
