This course aims to help undergraduate students in understanding the latest software engineering techniques and their applications in the context of industrial and systems engineering. The topics of this course include the fundamental concepts and applications of computer programming, software engineering, computational problem solving, and statistical techniques for data mining and analytics.

This course begins with an introduction to commercial rapid prototyping processes, the materials involved, and the physics behind how they work. The course then transitions to research topics involving novel processes, applications, and materials. Class activities include a mix of lecture, lab, and project work.

Topics and subject areas that are not regularly offered are provided under this course. Such courses are offered in a normal format; that is, regularly scheduled class sessions with an instructor.
