Mastering Python Programming: Apply, Analyze, and Build
This comprehensive course is designed to guide learners from foundational to advanced programming practices in Python, with a strong emphasis on functional problem-solving and object-oriented design. Throughout six structured modules, learners will apply, analyze, and create solutions using real-world constructs such as user-defined functions, recursion, classes, inheritance, sequences, and generators. Beginning with the abstraction and modularization of logic using functions, the course progresses through recursion strategies, advanced class structures, exception management, and Pythonic protocols like iteration and mapping. Learners will differentiate between static and class methods, construct custom exceptions and iterators, and integrate recursive generators for memory-efficient computing. By the end of the course, learners will be able to: • Apply Python’s object-oriented principles to construct scalable and reusable class designs • Analyze control flow and data structures through recursion and iterative transformations • Develop custom behaviors using special methods and protocols for sequences, mappings, and iteration • Evaluate and implement exception-handling strategies to create resilient applications • Design Python programs that integrate encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance, and protocol adherence This course is ideal for learners seeking to deepen their Python expertise by moving beyond syntax toward writing expressive, efficient, and modular code with confidence.

Sensory Science: Measuring the Senses
The brain is the most sophisticated sensory interpreter that we know of. Our brain is like a very powerful computer, but no engineered computer exists that can mimic our human sensory capabilities. This course will explore sensory science by examining how the senses are connected to the brain and how the brain makes meaning of the signals it receives. Various types of testing, scales, and measurements are described that allow scientists to quantify senses and the brain’s experience of senses. Through this course, you will learn to employ scientific approaches such as discrimination testing and Thurstonian Modeling to measure the senses.

Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics
This course gives you context and first-hand experience with the two major catalyzers of the computational science revolution: big data and artificial intelligence. With more than 99% of all mediated information in digital format and with 98% of the world population using digital technology, humanity produces an impressive digital footprint. In theory, this provides unprecedented opportunities to understand and shape society. In practice, the only way this information deluge can be processed is through using the same digital technologies that produced it. Data is the fuel, but machine learning it the motor to extract remarkable new knowledge from vasts amounts of data. Since an important part of this data is about ourselves, using algorithms in order to learn more about ourselves naturally leads to ethical questions. Therefore, we cannot finish this course without also talking about research ethics and about some of the old and new lines computational social scientists have to keep in mind. As hands-on labs, you will use IBM Watson’s artificial intelligence to extract the personality of people from their digital text traces, and you will experience the power and limitations of machine learning by teaching two teachable machines from Google yourself.

Software Engineering: Software Design and Project Management
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the process of developing software through planning, requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. This course focuses on the project planning and analysis/design phases of SDLC, and you will learn about different architectural patterns and design patterns to solve common problems in software design. It covers project planning, scheduling, and cost estimating, which are the principal tasks of software project managers. Basic object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts are required to understand different design patterns covered in this course. System design is driven by the UML models derived from requirement analysis. It is recommended to take the course "Software Engineering: Modeling Software Systems using UML" before attempting this course, but it is not a hard requirement.
