Courses

Students will gain a broad understanding of common research methods and data analysis that are used in healthcare research. Students will be exposed to common statistical data analysis for biostatistical problems.

This course covers advanced statistical principles foundational to modern machine learning, emphasizing both theoretical rigor and practical applications. Topics include exponential families, sufficiency, information theory, likelihood-based methods, and Bayesian inference. The course explores spectral methods, probabilistic graphical models, sufficient dimension reduction, contrastive learning, and embedding techniques, with applications in deep generative models and transformers.

This course covers the design of built-up members, composite beams, columns and floors. Design of advanced bolted and welded connections will also be covered. Students will use state-of-the-art software to model and design complex steel structures.

Analysis of indeterminate structures utilizing both classical and matrix methods. Use of computer structural analysis programs.

Analysis of indeterminate structures using classical and matrix methods. Use of large-scale computer programs.

This course explores the structural analysis of indeterminate structures using classical and approximate methods and structural analysis software. Specific emphasis is placed on the determination of forces in typical multistory, rectilinear frames subject to gravity and lateral loads. In addition to first order analysis, the course included analysis for second order effects and plastic analysis.
