CSE 512 Data Visualization University of Washington Spring 2022 This course from the University of Washington dives deep into the principles of data visualization, exploring techniques derived from graphic design, perceptual psychology, and cognitive science. The course enhances understanding of visualization techniques, exposure to common data domains, and offers practical experience in building and evaluating visualization systems.  The world is awash with increasing amounts of data, and we must keep afloat with our relatively constant perceptual and cognitive abilities. Visualization provides one means of combating information overload, as a well-designed visual encoding can supplant cognitive calculations with simpler perceptual inferences and improve comprehension, memory, and decision making. Furthermore, visual representations may help engage more diverse audiences in the process of analytic thinking.

In this course we will study techniques for creating effective visualizations based on principles from graphic design, perceptual psychology, and cognitive science. The course is targeted both towards students interested in using visualization in their own work, as well as students interested in building better visualization tools and systems.

In addition to class discussions, students will complete visualization design and data analysis assignments, as well as a final project. Students will share the results of their final project as both an interactive website and a video presentation. This course is designed to provide students with the foundations necessary for understanding and extending the current state of the art in data visualization. By the end of the course, students will have gained:
- An understanding of key visualization techniques and theory, including data models, graphical perception and methods for visual encoding and interaction.
- Exposure to a number of common data domains and corresponding analysis tasks, including multivariate data, geo-spatial data, and networks.
- Practical experience building and evaluating visualization systems.
- The ability to read and discuss research papers from the visualization literature.  - [The Visual Display of Quantitative Information](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961392142), E. Tufte. Graphics Press, 2001.

CS1951R Introduction to Robotics Brown University Fall 2023 This course offers students the opportunity to build and program an autonomous drone. Focusing primarily on autonomous drones, the course provides a broader insight into modern robotics, encompassing autonomous ground vehicles and robotic arms. Topics include safety, networking, controls, state estimation, and high-level planning. By the end, students can design, build, and operate a robotic drone. The aim of this course is to empower people to build robots. Students will build, program, and fly an autonomous drone. We will cover everything needed to program an autonomous robot, including safety, networking, state estimation, controls, and high-level planning. Although the course focuses on an autonomous drone, we will provide a broad overview of modern robotics, including some topics relating to autonomous ground vehicles and robotic arms. Each student will build and program their own small quadcopter. The course will provide basic components and a small number of replacement parts. After taking this course, students will be able to:

- Explain the space of designs for robotic communications, safety, state estimation, and control.
- Apply that knowledge to construct programs for communications, safety, state estimation, and control.
- Build, program, and operate an autonomous robot drone.
  The class textbook can be found online at [Duckiesky Learning Materials](https://docs.duckietown.org/daffy/doc-sky/out/index.html). Each assignment or project is a link to a specific chapter in this textbook and has corresponding lectures in the edX Edge course.
