- Topic: Bioinspired Computing
- Supplementary Description: Bio-inspired computing is a field devoted to tackling complex problems using computational methods modeled after design principles encountered in nature. This course aims at a deep understanding of the distributed architectures of natural complex systems, and how those can be used to produce informatics tools with enhanced robustness, scalability, flexibility and which can interface more effectively with humans. Pre-requisites: INFO-I 211, or CSCI-C 212, or CSCI-H 212, or Instructor approval.

- Topic: Data Visualization
- Supplementary Description: From car dashboards to cutting-edge scientific papers, we extensively use visual representation of data. Data visualization is becoming a crucial skill for knowledge workers, particularly in the era of big data, because visualization is critical to understand big, messy data. In this course we will learn fundamentals of data visualization and create data visualizations using various types of data.

- Topic: Networks
- Supplementary Description: Networks pervade all aspects of our lives: friends, computers, the Web, and our brain are examples. The network is a general yet powerful way to represent and study simple and complex relationships. This course introduces network science as a way to understand complex patterns of connections and relationships. Once we acquire the basic tools needed to analyze and model networks through computers, we will explore increasingly complex social, infrastructure, information, and biological networks.

- Topic: Music And Programming
- Supplementary Description: The over-arching goal is to learn PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN that are analogous for both music and programming. The secondary goals are to (1) attain a life-long skill through an introduction to music, and (2) preparation for designing programs in A201 or similar introductory programming courses.
This is a class that does NOT require the students to read music. It does NOT require them to know a programming language. It does NOT require artistic (drawing) or musical (playing an instrument) ability. Students MUST be willing to: * pick out notes and tunes on a keyboard. * invent their own tunes—and there is a LOT OF LEEWAY here. * draw rough pictures or sketches that represent the music they invent. * share their pictures with other students to interpret as music (and vice-versa). * sign up for a free site on MySpace or Reverbnation to upload and share their music. * listen to music of selected musicians from a wide variety of styles. * try to imitate several styles. * write one or two analysis papers as part of their work. * join in a class project by inventing some music that fits the project, but is their interpretation of their part of it. * learn about design principles common to music and programming. * apply the design principles for programming to invent a piece of music. * read assigned material on the web (no textbook). * COME TO CLASS—this is VERY IMPORTANT. * EXPERIMENT with the keyboards during selected class and lab times.
