Data Science Ethics (edX)

CS: Software Engineering Engineering

Learn how to think through the ethics surrounding privacy, data sharing, and algorithmic decision-making. As patients, we care about the privacy of our medical record; but as patients, we also wish to benefit from the analysis of data in medical records. As citizens, we want a fair trial before being punished for a crime; but as citizens, we want to stop terrorists before they attack us. As decision-makers, we value the advice we get from data-driven algorithms; but as decision-makers, we also worry about unintended bias.

Stochastic Processes: Data Analysis and Computer Simulation (edX)

Engineering Sci: Chemistry

The course deals with how to simulate and analyze stochastic processes, in particular the dynamics of small particles diffusing in a fluid. The motion of falling leaves or small particles diffusing in a fluid is highly stochastic in nature. Therefore, such motions must be modeled as stochastic processes, for which exact predictions are no longer possible. This is in stark contrast to the deterministic motion of planets and stars, which can be perfectly predicted using celestial mechanics.

Advanced Algorithmics and Graph Theory with Python (edX)

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

Strengthen your skills in algorithmics and graph theory, and gain experience in programming in Python along the way. Algorithmics and programming are fundamental skills for engineering students, data scientists and analysts, computer hobbyists or developers. Learning how to program algorithms can be tedious if you aren’t given an opportunity to immediately practice what you learn. In this course, you won't just focus on theory or study a simple catalog of methods, procedures, and concepts. Instead, you’ll be given a challenge wherein you'll be asked to beat an algorithm we’ve written for you by coming up with your own clever solution.
