12735 - Urban Systems Modeling (Graduate Class Full Semester)

This course presents the topics of probabilistic risk assessment and decision making under uncertainty, with applications to infrastructure systems. It explains, among other things, how to use graphical models to describe the interdependence of system components, and how to use analytical methods and numerical simulations for risk assessment. [syllabus]

12741 - Data Management (Graduate Class, Half Semester)

This mini course introduces students to concepts and methods for organizing and analyzing data. Covered topics included: representation and processing of data collected by sensor networks, data processing, feature extraction, relational databases, and no-SQL databases. [syllabus]

12421 - Engineering Economics (Undergraduate Class, Half-Semester)

It is a mini course introducing basic concepts of economic analysis and consideration of the time value of money. The core of the class is the selection of independent projects and mutually exclusive proposals, using various methods of analysis.
