Social, cultural, and intellectual history of German-speaking countries since the 17th century. Emphasis on great social and political shiftsothe rise of the modern state, unification and division of Germany, the phenomenon of urban culture, the emergence of the modern family, the role of women; major intellectual and cultural movements: Enlightenment, Romanticism, Realism, Social Democracy, Jugendstil, 20th-century avant-gardes and right-wing reaction leading to National Socialism, and contemporary issues. Conducted in English. (Gen.Ed. HS, DG)

Machine learning is employed in an increasingly wide range of applications. This course will cover two sides about machine learning. On one side, we will talk about recent systems research in machine learning, such as efficient training and inference, distributed and parallel learning systems, and debugging and profiling of ML applications. On the other side, we will discuss research in using machine learning for systems, e.g., identifying performance, reliability, and scalability issues.

This course considers the material evidence of human populations of Western Europe from the Neolithic Era through the Late Antique period.

Survey of ancient Greek literature, art, and society. The major Greek states (Mycenae, Sparta, Athens, Macedonia) and their political and cultural development from Neolithic to the Classical and Hellenistic periods, emphasizing Greek influence on Roman and later western civilization. (Gen.Ed. HS)

The course is intended for students that are interested in the entrepreneurial aspects of biotechnology. It will function as a mini accelerator designed to propel students with novel ideas towards commercialization. Lectures will be presented by the instructor and guest speakers. The first portion of the course will focus on technical aspects of biotechnology, recent breakthroughs in the literature, and identifying suitable medical indications and commercial outcomes.

This course covers operations and safety topics related to bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure treatments, complete streets, and the impacts of such designs and practices on operations and safety are studied. In addition, this course includes topics related to multimodal signal control and level of service as well as the connection between bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure with physical activity and overall health outcomes. Discussion on how bicycling and walking are accounted for in decision-making is also included.

This course provides an introduction to genomics, bioinformatics and data sciences skills. Computer-based lab sessions will provide hands-on training in data science skills (Unix command line, Python, R, reproducible research, and cluster computing) and we will use them to learn bioinformatic methods related to gene expression, detecting variation, genome visualization, and critical statistical methods to understand large-scale datasets. The final project will be data analysis of the student's choice.
