4 Short courses in Engineering & Technology in Estonia
Self-driving Cars
The "Self-driving Cars" course covers autonomous driving concepts using Autoware Mini from the University of Tartu Autonomous Driving Lab. Students will implement core autonomy stack components in Python and test their software in a virtual Tartu simulation. The course ends with a demo ride in a self-driving Lexus.
Designing Social Robots for Human Interaction
This course offers an in-depth exploration of social robotics, a branch of robotics that involves the design, development, and study of robots that interact and communicate with humans or other robots in a socially meaningful manner. Participants will investigate concepts such as robot design for social interaction, ethical considerations, and real-world applications.
Atomic layer deposition – the intersection of materials science, physics, chemistry and industry
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition technique that plays a crucial role in advancing modern technologies, ranging from semiconductors and energy storage to coatings for medical devices and optical applications. Its unique ability to deposit ultra-thin films with atomic-level precision makes it a cornerstone of innovation in nanotechnology and materials science.
Hands-On Data Engineering
Modern analytics and artificial intelligence rely on robust data engineering foundations. From data collection to analytics-ready outputs, well-designed data platforms are essential for transforming raw data into actionable insights in real-world systems.
