Current:

  • ECE 21800  Linear Circuits Laboratory II
    Credit Hours: 1.00. A continuation of EE/ECE 20700, with the introduction of advanced measurement methods and more sophisticated instrumentation.
  • ECE 233  Microcomputers In Engineering
    Credit Hours: 3.00. An introduction to microcomputers and microcontrollers with emphasis on single board embedded systems: gates, memory, microcomputer hardware, data representation, programming, input/output, interfacing, analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion, transducers, sensors, actuators, and the design and development of turnkey systems.
  • ECE 330  Microcomputer Programming And Interfacing
    Credit Hours: 3.00. Assembly language, C++ programming, and interfacing techniques; control of digital hardware and peripheral devices by software; software structures and tools used in accomplishing low level hardware control.
  • ECE 37000  Digital Systems-Logic Design
    Credit Hours: 3.00. Introduction to the logical design and analysis of digital systems; Boolean algebra; combinational logic; minimization techniques; Karnaugh mapping. Introduction to sequential systems analysis and design using VHDL.
  • ECE 40200  Electrical Engineering Design Projects
    Credit Hours: 3.00. Lecture sessions provide the student with background information on the design and management of projects. Formal lectures cover, for example, design for manufacturability, design for quality, test and evaluation, reliability and ethics, patents and copyrights, plus case studies. During the laboratory sessions, the students work in teams on a challenging open-ended electrical engineering project that draws on previous coursework. Projects routinely involve standard design facets (such as consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, and detailed system descriptions) and include a number of realistic constraints (such as cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics). Completion of BS EE or BS CmpE core curriculum.
