submitted after the presentation. The course grade is decided on evaluation of
these reports. Cr/NC only.
Course Objective: To keep students abreast with the
advancement of science and technology developments and future trends in various
high tech fields including communications, computational biology, computing,
environmental studies, networking, photonics, and robotics.
Prerequisite: None
Textbook: None
Course Venue:
The student is supposed to attend at least ten lectures available at the
ES, Physics, and CS departments.
These lectures are provided periodically at these departments (see the
