Solving for Greater Good
At Rice Engineering and Computing, we collaborate with scientists and scholars across campus and around the world to solve some of the most urgent issues of our time. Through our five research focus areas – Health and Well-being, Energy and Sustainability, Resilient and Adaptive Communities, Advanced Materials, and Future Computing – we are solving for greater good.
Generative AI Courses Available to All Rice Students
Rice University’s Department of Computer Science now offers two new artificial intelligence courses open to students across every major, with no prior coding or math experience required.
The courses, COMP 101: Vibe Coding with LLMs and COMP 238: Understanding the Machines, reflect growing demand from students across disciplines who want to understand how artificial intelligence works, not just how to use it.
