Description
This unique program focuses on providing students with a snapshot of state-of-the-art smart technology and computing solutions in a short time. It includes the following courses:3D modeling and printing (introduction level)
• This course provides students a great learning experience and chance to see how 3D printing is transforming our world and objects. Students will learn basic 3D printing techniques and real-world applications through lab sessions and a hands-on project.
Internet of Things (IoT) (introduction level)
• This course covers the basic IoT concepts, and offers important insights on how to overcome these challenges and thrive in this exciting new technology trend. This course provides a snapshot of state-of-the-art IoT technologies, and upcoming IoT clouds. Students will gain hands-on design and development experience on building IoT based components, solutions and systems. .
Basics of Robotics (introduction level)
• This course covers basic concepts of robotics, and provides students a great learning experience in building simple robots for specific activities and scenarios. In addition, the course also introduces the basic programming as well as problem solving strategies. Students will work as a team to learn how to use selected robot-based programming software and language to build a simple robot.
AI and machine learning (introduction level)
• This course provides students a great learning experience and chance to explore basic introductory artificial intelligence topics, and gain hands-on experience projects in one of selected topics. In AI laboratory sessions, they will learn how to apply some basic AI techniques and technologies using the existing tools and technologies..
Smart Home and Green Building
• This course covers basic concepts of smart home and green building, and provides students with green-building standards, on-site tours, and real cases on how to use the state-of-art green technologies to build a smart home and green building solutions. In addition, the course also introduces the basic mobile programming as well as problem solving strategies to support green building and smart home control. Students will work as a team to learn how to solve a smart home or/and green problems. .
In addition, the program also includes two invited sessions:
Face-to-Face with Industry Leaders
• Two industry leaders will be invited to give invited talks on industry trends in smart technologies, smart world, and smart cities.
Meeting with experts
• Two experts are invited from top-tier university (such as UC Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, and UC Santa Cruz) to deliver keynote speeches to the smart camp, and lunch together with students.
Furthermore, the camp program also provides students with a great network activities connecting Silicon Valley researchers, faculty, students, industry leaders, and engineers. Students will attend weekend bus tours visiting Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay attractions.
