Dream It, Build It!
The world is filled with electronic devices! There seem to be more and more all the time. Wouldn't it be cool to hack and build stuff? Bend electronics to your will? Cloud connect your own stuff? Dream It, Build It is a great place to start. Designed for folks with no experience, it will take you from zero to capable in short order. We will show you some of the worst kept secrets of how things are built and help you build stuff of your own. We'll start out with some basics about how to build things, how to measure things, how to hook stuff together and end up being able to make cloud-connected gizmos.

Making at the nanometer scale: A journey into microchips
Have you ever wondered what is inside your phone and your computer? What physical events happen in between the time you press the 'search' button and the information shows up on the screen? In this course, we start with the classic paper by Richard Feynman, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," which laid down a challenge to the nanotechnologists. Today's microchips are nanotechnology in action. Transistors are nanometer scale. We will introduce students to the tools of nanotechnologists and the basic elements of nanoscale science and engineering such as nanotubes, nanowires, nanoparticles, and self-assembly. We will visit nanotechnology laboratories to consolidate our learning, go into the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), and do a four-week project on nanofabrication. Hands-on laboratory work will be introduced (e.g., lithography, seeing things at the nanoscale using electron microscopes). We will learn how to build transistors from scratch and test them.

From the Internet for People to the Internet of Things
Driven by the ubiquity of the Internet and advances in various technological fields, all aspects of the physical world in which we live are undergoing a major transformation. Underlying this transformation is a concept known as the Internet of Things (IoT) which envisions that every physical object in the world could be connected to the Internet. This concept is at the root of such developments as the fourth industrial revolution, precision agriculture, smart cities, intelligent transportation, home and building automation, precision medicine, etc. In this seminar, we trace back the origins of the IoT concept in terms of both the vision and pioneering work, identify the building blocks of an IoT system, and explore enabling technologies pertaining to the devices that get attached to things (possibly comprising sensors, actuators, and embedded systems) and the communications capabilities (RFID, Bluetooth, wireless sensor networks, Wi-Fi, Low Power WANs, cellular networks, vehicular communications).

This constantly changing stream evokes spatiotemporal patterns of spikes that propagate through your brain from one ensemble of neurons to another. An ensemble may memorize a spatiotemporal pattern at the speed of life and recall it at the speed of thought. In the first half of this course, we will discuss and model how a neural ensemble memorizes and recalls such a spatiotemporal pattern. In the second half, we will explore how neuromorphic hardware could exploit these neurobiological mechanisms to run AI not with megawatts in the cloud but rather with watts on a smartphone. Prerequisites: Either computational modeling (BIOE 101, BIOE 300B) or circuit analysis (EE 101A).

Understanding the Sensors in your Smartphone
This course provides an introduction to the sensor systems found in modern-day smartphones, wearables, and hearable devices. As much as we take their functionality for granted, there is a tremendous amount of engineering needed to sense "real world" signals such as acceleration, touch, or altitude. There will be an overview on the actual circuitry and hardware used in sensor implementations, with a focus on MEMS devices (eg, accelerometer/gyro), going up through the algorithms commonly seen in sensors processing, and finally fusion of data from multiple sensors to yield final data presented to a user. The four broad areas that will be covered are: Inertial sensing/movement; Touch sensing/authentication; Health sensing (PPG, ECG, SpO2); Next-generation (force, radar/ranging, ultrasonics, and more). There is a lab/project associated with each of these areas, each project spanning roughly two weeks. The projects are designed to be more at a system level; the student will be required to explore the performance and limitations of sensing hardware, and then take that understanding to solve real-world sensor problems. All projects will be built on a Raspberry Pi with various sensor boards; students should be comfortable with wiring up a small breadboard, and coding on an RPi a high-level language such as Python or Java.

EE 381:
Sensorimotor Learning for Embodied Agents (CS 381)
This is an advanced course that will focus on modern machine learning algorithms for autonomous robots as an embodied intelligent agent. It covers advanced topics that center around 1. what is embodied AI and how it differs from internet AI, 2. how embodied agents perceive their environment from raw sensory data and make decisions, and 3. continually adapt to the physical world through both hardware and software improvements. By the end of the course, we hope to prepare you for conducting research in this area, knowing how to formulate the problem, design the algorithm, critically validate the idea through experimental designs and finally clearly present and communicate the findings. Students are expected to read, present, and debate the latest research papers on embodied AI, as well as obtain hands-on experience through the course projects. Prerequisites: Recommended EE 160A/EE 260A /CS 237A or equivalent.

EE 392B:
Industrial AI
The seminar features guest lectures from the industry. The Industrial AI (I-AI) computing applications are at the center of on-going digital transformation. Known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, this is a multi-trillion-dollar transformation of economy. The I-AI is related to Internet of Things (IoT), where 'things' include man-made systems and business processes: industrial, transportation, operations and support, and supply chains. I-AI applications are mission critical with large cost of error compared to AI apps for the Internet of People. The lecturers from technology (e.g., computing) companies, consultancies, AI vendors, OEMs, and end users of the I-AI will discuss business and 'big picture' technical issues. Example vertical industries are energy, transportation, oil and gas, data centers, and manufacturing.
