CORE 391X Coffee Deconstructed : This hands-on course explores design thinking and problem-solving through an unexpected lens: the espresso machine. By examining both the machines that brew coffee and the human systems that produce and consume it, students will develop a more complete understanding of how technology, culture, and history intersect in everyday objects.
CS 421A Artificial Intelligence : The fundamentals of artificial intelligence. Topics include: heuristic search, adversarial search, local search, knowledge-based systems, artificial neural networks, reinforcement learning, AI history and philosophy of minds.
PHL 150A Engaging Philosophy (Online): Some of the most interesting, self-defining, and meaningful questions are among the most difficult to answer. In this class, we discuss issues ranging from the existence of God to questions about our mental life, and how our mental life affects, and contributes to, our identity. We will study and critically evaluate different approaches to these topics, so that we are not merely reading or memorizing theories but deeply engaging with them, applying them to our own lived experiences and assessing their strengths and weaknesses.
