Laboratory, computer, and design exercises complement coverage of fundamental principles. Prerequisite: ECE 2660 or ECE 2600, ECE 3209 or PHYS 2415 or ECE 2200

A fourth-level undergraduate course covering a topic not normally covered in the course offerings. The topic usually reflects new developments in the electrical and computer engineering field. Offering is based on student and faculty interests.

Design and analysis of wireless communication circuits. Topics covered include transmission lines, antennas, filters, amplifiers, mixers, noise, and modulation techniques. The course is built around a semester long design project. Prerequisite ECE 2700 or ECE 3750

A first course in communication networks for upper-level undergraduate students. Topics include the design of modern communication networks; point-to-point and broadcast network solutions; advanced issues such as Gigabit networks; ATM networks; and real-time communications. Cross-listed as CS 4457. Prerequisite:  CS 3330 or ECE 3430

An introduction to the fundamental scientific principles governing information science and engineering. Topics include: definition of information; entropy; information representation in analog and digital forms; information transmission; spectrum and bandwidth; information transformation including data compression, filtering, encryption, and error correction; information storage and display; and large-scale information systems. Technologies for implementing information functions.

Develops tools for analyzing signals and systems operating in continuous-time, with applications to control, communications, and signal processing. Primary concepts are representation of signals, linear time-invariant systems, Fourier analysis of signals, frequency response, and frequency-domain input/output analysis, the Laplace transform, and linear feedback principles. Practical examples are employed throughout, and regular usage of computer tools (Matlab, CC) is incorporated. Students cannot receive credit for both this course and BIOM 3310. Prerequisite: ECE 2660, APMA 2130

This course introduces electrical engineering theory and its application to circuits containing active and passive circuit elements. Content includes fundamental concepts such as voltage, current, power, energy and Ohm's Law as well as circuit analysis techniques including node-voltage and mesh-current based on circuit laws and theorems such as Kirchhoff Laws, source superposition, and equivalent circuits. Prerequisite: Must have completed (APMA 1110 or MATH 1320) AND (ENGR 1624 or ENGR 1410 or ENGR 2595 Topic Engineering Foundations I or ENGR 1010)

Introduces computer architecture and provides a foundation for the design of complex synchronous digital devices, focusing on: 1) Established approaches of computer architecture, 2) Techniques for managing complexity at the register transfer level, and 3) Tools for digital hardware description, simulation, and synthesis. Includes laboratory exercises. Prerequisites: ECE 2330 and CS 2130

Design, analysis and testing of an embedded computer system to meet specific needs, considering public health, safety and welfare as well as societal impacts. Tradeoff analysis and constraint satisfaction facilitated by the use of appropriate engineering analysis techniques. Semester-long team project develops physical prototype. Counts as major design experience for ECE students. Prerequisites (ECE 3430 or ECE 3502 ECR II) AND (ECE 3750 or ECE 2700) AND 4th year standing

Under faculty supervision, students plan a project of at least one semester's duration, conduct the analysis or design and test, and report on the results. If this work is to be the basis for an undergraduate thesis, the course should be taken no later than the seventh semester. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.
