The demands of the new era for project management skills, innovation, communication, collaboration abilities, and international work capabilities are high. This course aims to help students acquire these skills through 16 hours of study, enabling them to engage in innovative work and project management in an international environment. The course introduces key concepts in project management, innovation management, and product development, supporting students in effectively participating in the creation and realization of business opportunities. Students will gain knowledge and skills related to project management, innovation management, and product development, and will also acquire practical experience through product development projects. Through classroom discussions and course activities, students will gain additional international exposure, enhancing their English language proficiency. The course will employ various teaching methods, including basic explanations of terms and concepts, exercises, case studies, individual work on applying knowledge, and team collaboration on projects. In addition to theoretical lectures, emphasis will be placed on practical work, with students planning and managing a project.

Electromagnetic field and wave is the theoretical foundation for the studies of electrical circuits, optics, photonics, microwave systems, etc. It provides the basic method and tool for understanding, analyzing, and solving problems involving electromagnetism. The course will introduce vector analysis, Maxwell's equations, Lorentz force, electrostatics and magnetostatics, electrodynamics, propagation of EM waves, and radiation. Beside basic principles, the course will introduce a number of examples including electrical circuits, optical and RF waveguides, antenna, and electrical measurement in biomedical applications, such that the students can implement the theory to solve real-world problems.

Game theory is a pillar of modern economics. It also plays an ever-increasing role in other social sciences as law and politics, and in natural science as biology. This course is an introduction to game theory, with 3 objectives:

• to understand basic ideas of game theory;
• to learn the basic concepts and analytical methods of game theory; and
• to acquire the preliminary ability of using game theory to observe economic behavior and phenomenon in the real world.

This course provides a rigorous treatment of the core concepts of investments for finance majors. It broadly covers financial instruments, such as portfolio diversification, capital asset pricing model, APT, market efficiency, fixed income, and derivative securities. On the practical side, this course covers recent topics that are related to investment strategies and portfolio management. A project about portfolio management is specially designed for students for practice.

Stars are the objects that have enabled us to learn how our universe works. There may be over 1022 stars in the universe and modern estimates indicate that most of these stars are accompanied by planets. This course aims to understand the formation, structure, and observational properties of stars and planets from elementary physical principles. Questions that will be addressed include: why do stars have a mass of about 1 solar mass, which conditions must be met for nuclear fusion, why are stars stable, how do planets form and what determines the size and composition of planets, how can we detect exoplanets, how do planetary bodies influence each other? In addressing these questions, the student will learn and apply a great number of concepts that shape our modern understanding of these objects.

Above all, students should show a strong commitment to follow this course as it does require studying topics that are new to students. Students are expected to invest time in self-study and in the problem set. It is recommended that students have followed basic mathematics and physical courses. This course is aimed towards students in physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computational sciences. It is not recommended that students from social sciences and humanities follow this course.
