分子中的能量
一个分子的能量大小取决于它的温度, 这决定了分子的运动类型.  At a given temperature, a molecule may undergo translational, rotational, and vibrational motion.  我们将测定几种气体中的声速, 哪一个。, 令人惊讶的是, will tell us how the energy of a molecule is distributed among these three types of motion.  Our results will show that vibrational motion occurs at relatively high energies, and molecules at normal temperatures may not have enough energy to undergo much vibrational motion.  We will then obtain the infrared spectrum of a small molecule by directly examining the energy levels that arise from rotational and vibrational motion.  Our study of molecular energy will conclude by simulating our infrared spectrum with a computer program written in python.

用数据科学来理解世界
似乎我们做的每件事都被收集和存储为数据. 从流媒体节目到购物，再到医疗保健，再到我们设备的使用. 但是有什么目的?? 公司, 组织, 政府, and any other entity that uses data are trying to extract value and meaning from that data. They use sophisticated techniques to be able to learn more about you and your habits. 在本次会议上, students will begin to see the power of statistics and data science and how they can use it to benefit their own lives.

药物及其靶标的生物物理学
Understanding the atomic structure of large molecules like DNA and proteins is key to developing drugs to cure disease. 通过基于游戏的活动, students will learn how a fundamental law of thermodynamics governs the structure of these important biomolecules. We will then see it in action as we use modern web-based software to visualize key protein components of various biological systems and show how defects in these can cause various diseases.

检测耐抗生素细菌
You will contribute to a nationwide program by testing for antibiotic resistance genes in environmental soil samples isolated in the Evansville area. You will learn how antibiotic resistant infections affect humans and may be linked to antibiotic use on farms. 然后, you will test soil samples using molecular techniques to detect the presence of bacteria in our community. 你将获得从土壤中提取DNA的实践经验, 从你的样本中提取DNA, and then analyzing the DNA to determine if antibiotic-resistant genes are present. You will also use bioinformatics tools to compare antibiotic resistant genes in bacteria. Finally, you will contribute your data to a national database of antibiotic resistance surveillance.

工程材料与化学
The materials used for engineering and construction can be engineered to have the properties needed for their application. Engineers can use chemistry to adjust a concrete mixture or design a metal alloy. Students will learn about how chemistry affects key engineering materials and gain hands-on experience using a chemical reaction to produce concrete.

桥梁设计与施工
How can bridges support thousands of pounds above a river with hardly any support below? Engineers use math and physics to design bridges that are not only strong, 而且要尽可能的轻便和便宜. Students will learn about important concepts in structural design and use a simulator to design their own bridge for both strength and cost considerations.

机器学习中的自然语言处理
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on enabling computers to understand, 解释, 生成人类语言. 它的应用是多种多样的, including the creation of chatbots and virtual assistants for natural language interaction, 在文本数据中衡量意见的情感分析, 语音控制系统的语音识别, 还有机器翻译，用于在不同语言之间转换文本. NLP在文本摘要等任务中也很重要, 信息提取, 命名实体识别, 问答系统, 文本分类, 语言生成, 在医疗保健等领域有着广泛的应用, 金融, 和更多的, showcasing its versatility in enhancing human-computer interaction and information processing. 学生将处理语言数据来训练、测试和优化NLP.
