Teaching

Instructor: Stefanie Mueller (course creator) When: every fall semester (ca. 50 students) Content: Teaches how to build cutting edge interactive technologies and provides an overview of each field. Topics covered include multitouch, augmented reality, haptics, wearables, brain computer interfaces, tangibles, fabrication, and more.

Instructor: Joe Steinmeyer (course creator), Stefanie Mueller, Karl Berggren, Anthony Pennes. When: every spring semester (ca. 400 students) Content: This course strives to expose its students to a breadth of EECS concepts by working within an infrastructure of mobile embedded systems, and engineering across different platforms.

Instructor: Rob Miller (course creator), Stefanie Mueller When: spring 2017 (not offered anymore) Content: Covers design principles, prototyping techniques, evaluation techniques, and the implementation of graphical user interfaces. Deliverables include short programming assignments and a semester-long group project.
