AIP 97/197. Complex Systems Research Methods for a Changing Planet: QI Learning Academy Winter - Spring 2020 | 4 Units per Quarter Tuesday/Thursday | 5:00 PM–6:20 PM | Online Online Instruction & In-Person Research Project Webpage: seminarseries.ucsd.edu/aip/ | Apply on AIP InternLink Student Info Session: Date/Time: Monday, December 2, 12:00pm–1:00pm; Light Refreshments Provided Location: Atkinson Hall in Warren College, Room 5302 (map attached) Jointly Taught by Multiple Faculty Members Affiliated with the Qualcomm Institute. Many of the problems facing the world today are embedded in complex systems. The multiple interacting components of complex systems make studying these problems challenging. Students participating in this blend coursework and research program will engage in coursework to learn the theory and skills needed to apply to a research question under the supervision of faculty affiliated with the Qualcomm Institute. Students will work on different research questions in interdisciplinary teams throughout this two quarter internship experience. The research projects will be thematically related to the “Changing Planet” theme, on diverse topics including but not limited to autonomous vehicles, San Diego city data, availability of potable water, and visualizations of different models of future climate predictions. At the end of the internship, we expect students to have improved their understanding of how to approach a complex problem, how to conduct a literature search and write a critical review, and how to analyze data related to their particular research problem, as well as organizing and analyzing data more generally. This is the program for you if you are someone who is academically curious, deeply inquisitive, and independently motivated to succeed. Prerequisites for AIP 97: thirty units completed; 3.0 minimum GPA. Prerequisites for AIP 197: ninety units completed; 2.5 mimimum GPA.
