Topics for the Deeper Dives have been defined! For two weeks you will have the opportunity to explore one of three intriguing topics that extend beyond your research group’s focus.

1. Machine Learning

Machine Learning is like a wizard’s spellbook for computers. It empowers them to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without explicit programming. From self-driving cars to personalized recommendations on streaming platforms, machine learning is everywhere. We’ll unravel its mysteries, discuss algorithms, and explore real-world applications.

2. Additive Manufacturing

Imagine printing a three-dimensional object layer by layer, like a delicious lasagna emerging from a futuristic oven. That’s Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. Additive Manufacturing revolutionizes how we create prototypes, custom parts, and even intricate designs. We’ll delve into different techniques, materials, and mind-bending creations.

3. Extended Reality (XR)

XR isn’t just an algebraic equation; it’s a blend of reality and imagination. XR encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Put on your digital goggles, and let’s explore immersive worlds, overlay digital information on our surroundings, and teleport to places we’ve never been—all without leaving our seats.
