Course Description: Lecture 1 hour-equivalent; laboratory 0 hours, series of
lectures on topics of interest in the relevant fields of engineering. A maximum
of 1 unit can be applied to the ES major. The students may not miss more than
one ES lecture in case of emergencies that should be substantiated. A report on
each invited lecture must be submitted after the presentation. The course grade
is depended on evaluation of these reports. Cr/NC only.
Course Learning Objective:
1.
To expand the
scope of students in various trends of science and technology developments.
2.
To get students
acquainted and communicates with technical experts in industry and academia.
3.
To improve
students developing a technical talk
4.
To improve
students communication, presentation, and summarizing skills.
Course Outcome:
A. A knowledge of contemporary issues and awareness of the
advancement and trends in science and technology.
B. Ability to communicate and network with technology
experts in industry and academia.
C. Ability to develop a technical talk.
D. Ability to present a topic to their audience and make
their idea understood.
Prerequisite: None
Textbook: None
Course Venue:
‒
The student is
supposed to attend at least ten of
lectures that are presented periodically at the colloquia
of the ES, Physics, and CS
departments (see the sites below). After each lecture attended, the student
writes a report and summarizes the presentation in at least 500 words including
what he/she observed and learned, the applications, and how the technology can
be used to improve the nature and human life. Include the name, job title, and
affiliation of the speaker, the title of the talk, the date and place the talk
was presented (CS, ES, or Physics), and the date of your submission of the
report. The report must be submitted within two weeks after each
presentation. Late submissions will not be accepted.
‒
Each student develops a half-hour technical talk on the topic of her/his choice and
presents it to the class in PowerPoint.
‒
The students meet
in the class during the weeks that there is no ES lecture to develop their
technical talk and present it to the class and participate in the discussions
on the topics they attended / learned.
