2.7231[J] Introduction to Design Thinking and Innovation in Engineering
(
,
); first half of term
(Same subject as 6.9101[J], 16.6621[J])
Prereq: None
Units: 2-0-1 [P/D/F]Ends Oct 25. Lecture: M EVE (7-9 PM) (32-141) Recitation: M EVE (9 PM) (32-123)
Introduces students to concepts of design thinking and innovation that can be applied to any engineering discipline. Focuses on introducing an iterative design process, a systems-thinking approach for stakeholder analysis, methods for articulating design concepts, methods for concept selection, and techniques for testing with users. Provides an opportunity for first-year students to explore product or system design and development, and to build their understanding of what it means to lead and coordinate projects in engineering design. Subject can count toward the 6-unit discovery-focused credit limit for first-year students. Enrollment limited to 25; priority to first-year students.

T. Cummings
No required or recommended textbooks16.09 Statistics and Probability
Prereq: Calculus II (GIR)
Units: 4-0-8
Introduction to statistics and probability with applications to aerospace engineering. Covers essential topics, such as sample space, discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions, joint and conditional distributions, expectation, transformation of random variables, limit theorems, estimation theory, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, statistical tests, and regression.

Prereq: Permission of instructor
Units arranged [P/D/F]
Directed research in a field of biological science, but not contributory to graduate thesis.
Fall: Consult Biology Education Office
Summer: Consult Biology Education Office
No required or recommended textbooks9.58 Projects in the Science of Intelligence
Prereq: (6.3900 and (9.40 or 18.06)) or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Provides instruction on the mechanistic basis of intelligence - how the brain produces intelligent behavior and how we may be able to replicate intelligence in machines. Examines how human intelligence emerges from computations in neural circuits to reproduce similar intelligent behavior in machines. Working in teams, students complete computational projects and exercises that reinforce the theme of collaboration between (computer science + math) and (neuroscience + cognitive science). Culminates with student presentations of their projects. Instruction and practice in oral and written communication provided. Limited to 30.

(Subject meets with 9.490)
Prereq: 9.40, 18.06, or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Takes a computational approach to examine circuits in the brain that perform elemental cognitive tasks: tasks that are neither directly sensory nor directly motor in function, but are essential to bridging from perception to action. Covers circuits and circuit motifs in the brain that underlie computations like integration, decision-making, spatial navigation, inference, and other cognitive elements. Students study empirical results, build dynamical models of neural circuits, and examine the mathematical theory of representations and computation in such circuits. Considers noise, stability, plasticity, and learning rules for these systems. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
