Courses

Regulatory Affairs for Medical Devices

This course introduces and reviews the role of Regulatory Affairs (RA) in the medical device industry.

Reinforcement Learning

CS 260R: Reinforcement Learning explores how autonomous agents learn to make decisions by maximizing reward in complex, uncertain environments. Topics include Markov decision processes, model-free and model-based RL, policy optimization, distributed RL systems, and applications such as game playing (e.g., AlphaGo), traffic simulation, autonomous driving, multi-agent RL, human-in-the-loop methods, and imitation learning.

Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability

This course is part of the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS) Master of Science in Engineering Online (MSOL) program. It is available only to students pre-approved by HSSEAS. For more information visit msol.ucla.edu.

Requirements, ConOps and Systems Engineering Management

This course explores Concept of Operations (ConOps), focusing on customer requirements, system characteristics, and stakeholder expectations while covering requirement analysis, product features, and management tools. It also addresses trade-off studies, risk assessment, requirement management, and technical data management.

RF Integrated Circuit Design

Learn the design of radio-frequency integrated circuits used for wireless communications. This class focuses on theoretical and practical RF circuit design techniques from architecture down to transistor level circuit design.
