Online Learning with University of Michigan-Dearborn

Prejudice & Discrimination

Understanding how privilege, prejudice, and discrimination can affect the justice system is essential to working towards a more just and equitable society. In this video, you’ll learn more about how implicit and explicit bias can manifest in our daily lives.

For students considering the Criminology and Criminal Justice MS from U-M Dearborn, this clip shows how critical analysis and social awareness are critical to addressing issues within equity and justice.

Carceral Economics and Environmental Justice

The current prison system in the U.S. can offer a deeper understanding of racial disparities, environmental issues, and the economics of imprisonment. This video asks us to reflect on how punishment is administered, to whom, and the conditions and locations of those living within the current system.

Posing valuable questions into the system, this clip allows students interested in the Criminology and Criminal Justice program to reflect on justice, equity, and reform.

The Backstory of the VW Emissions Scandal

This video unpacks the Volkswagen emissions scandal, revealing how vehicle software was used to manipulate environmental test results.

You’ll gain insight into the complex relationship between sensor data, embedded systems, and decision-making algorithms to understand the importance of ethical design, similar to concepts explored in the Intelligent Systems in Engineering Applications from U-M Dearborn.

Learning from Data

While data analysis can provide valuable insights into a problem or question, understanding how to think statistically is essential to helping us identify those meaningful patterns in the first place.

In this video, you’ll learn how to turn raw data into a visualization to help you identify patterns, understand variability, and interpret distributions. Understanding these concepts can help you take strides towards a degree in Intelligent Systems from U-M Dearborn.

What is Data Mining?

Data can provide us with a door into our vast connections to one another, and data mining is the key to extracting meaningful insights from that data. In this clip, you’ll learn how data mining differs from other data analysis techniques and how it applies to the broader scope of data analysis.

By building a bridge between these concepts and your current understanding of data, you can determine if you’re ready to jump into the Intelligent Systems in Engineering Applications graduate certificate.

Networks: Definition and Why We Study Them

Studying networks can help us reveal the connections between individuals and larger communities. This clip reflects the analytical approaches and systems thinking that are central to the Intelligent Systems in Engineering Applications program, where you can focus on data-driven problem solving.

What is Information Extraction?

Learn how data scientists turn unstructured text into structured, searchable data to power artificial intelligence to make decisions. Using real-world examples, this video provides a look into the core knowledge needed to pursue a degree in Intelligent Systems in Engineering Applications from U-M Dearborn.

Moving Beyond Desktop 3D Printing—The Possibilities

Explore advanced methods in metal 3D printing that overcome the limitations of desktop systems, like part size, resolution, and material integration.

This video discusses techniques like directed energy deposition, powder bed fusion, and lamination-based processes to show how engineers can achieve higher performance and design flexibility.
