Description

COURSE DETAILS:

Course Description:

The development and implementation of ML algorithms in mechatronic systems using ML packages in Python are discussed. The course encompasses a wide range of well-established ML techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning algorithms. Emphasizing practical applications, students will acquire the skills to develop assessment techniques for comparing algorithm performance. Furthermore, they will gain hands-on experience in deploying ML algorithms in embedded systems, enabling them to effectively integrate machine learning into real-world mechatronic applications.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION

Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the term are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
