Summer GenEd Engineering Courses: ENES 197 & ENES 256

 Discover the Story Behind the Numbers: ENES 197 – The Fault in Our Data

Are you ready to uncover the hidden truths in the data shaping our world? ENES 197: The Fault in Our Data – What Counts and Who’s Counting is your chance to dive into the fascinating world of data science, even if you’ve never programmed before! In this exciting online summer course, you'll use Python and cutting-edge tools like numpy, pandas, and matplotlib to explore how computational methods reveal insights about social issues such as inequality and bias. From analyzing datasets to creating impactful visualizations, this hands-on experience will empower you to ask big questions, tackle real-world problems, and share your findings with confidence. Whether you’re curious about machine learning, big data, or ethical debates in AI, this course is your gateway to understanding how data shapes the stories we tell—and the ones we don’t. No prior programming experience required—just bring your curiosity!

ENES 256: Partnering With Artificial Intelligences to Reimagine Our Future is being offered this Summer (June 1 to July 10). This fully online course is open to all majors, satisfies GenEd requirements (DSSP and SCIS), and requires no prior experience. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in how we learn, work, and solve problems, the ability to use it effectively is quickly becoming an essential skill across all fields.

In this course, you will learn how to think and work with AI as a teammate by understanding the strengths and limitations of both humans and AIs, and how to combine them to solve meaningful problems. You will apply these ideas to a human+AI team project that interests you, whether that involves launching a startup venture, tackling a real-world problem, or supporting academic or research work.
