새롭게 공부를 시작할 MIT OCW 학습 분야

MIT OCW에 대단히 유용한 과목들이 많이 올라와 있지만, 우선 평소에 관심을 갖고 있었던 Cognitive Science(인지 과학) 분야와 Engineering Ethics 과목을 공부하기로 했습니다. 수업 잘 듣고 많은 걸 배울 수 있었으면 좋겠네요~ ^^

1. 9.66J / 9.660J / 6.804J Computational Cognitive Science, Fall 2004

Human learning and reasoning is founded on multiple knowledge representations with different kinds of structures, such as trees, chains, dominance hierarchies, neighborhood graphs, and directed networks. This class uses probabilistic inference methods from machine learning and Bayesian statistics, operating over different kinds of structured representational systems, to explain how people's domain knowledge can support a wide range of learning and reasoning tasks, and how these knowledge structures may themselves be learned from experience.

Highlights of this Course

This course includes a complete bibliography of readings.

Course Description

This course is an introduction to computational theories of human cognition. Drawing on formal models from classic and contemporary artificial intelligence, students will explore fundamental issues in human knowledge representation, inductive learning and reasoning. What are the forms that our knowledge of the world takes? What are the inductive principles that allow us to acquire new knowledge from the interaction of prior knowledge with observed data? What kinds of data must be available to human learners, and what kinds of innate knowledge (if any) must they have?

2. ESD.932 Engineering Ethics, Spring 2006

The Love Canal toxic waste site, with its long history of heMore/Lessalth effects, cleanup efforts, and eventual relocation of all residents, is one of the case studies considered in this course. (Photograph courtesy of U.S. EPA.)

Highlights of this Course

This course features audio lectures from most class sessions.

Course Description

This course introduces the theory and the practice of engineering ethics using a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach. Theory includes ethics and philosophy of engineering. Historical cases are taken primarily from the scholarly literatures on engineering ethics, and hypothetical cases are written by students. Each student will write a story by selecting an ancestor or mythic hero as a substitute for a character in a historical case. Students will compare these cases and recommend action.
