Objectives

This quarter's course will revolve around special interest group (SIG) study, presentation and discussion. The goal is three-fold:

1. To obtain a holistic view of recent research development in Electrical & Computer Engineering;
2. To practice the skills of technical communications and presentations;
3. To bolster a sense of graduate student community in this unusual time of remote learning;

Topics & Logistics

The following are SIGs spanning the three main research areas in the department:

Circuits and Embedded Systems (CES)

• The why and how of "brain inspired" computation
• Technology that supports remote physical learning
• Low-Cost Touch Sensing for Ubiquitous Human-Computer Interaction
• Spectre and Meltdown: Transient Execution Attacks
• Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
