  • ENG EC 551: Advanced Digital Design with Verilog and FPGAPrereq

    4.00 Credits
    Boston University

    ENG EC 311 and ENG EC 312 or consent of instructor. Content includes use of HDL (Verilog) for design, synthesis and simulation, and principles of register transfer level (RTL). Programmable logic, such as field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, has become a major component of digital design. In this class the students learn how to write HDL models that can be automatically synthesized into integrated circuits such as FPGA. Laboratory and homework exercises include writing HDL models of combinational and sequential circuits, synthesizing models, performing simulation, and fitting to an FPGA by using automatic place and route. The course has lab orientation and is based on a sequence of Verilog design examples. 4 cr.

  • ENG EC 566: The Atmosphere and Space EnvironmentPrereq

    3.00 Credits
    Boston University

    differential equations and a scientific programming language; grad prereq: CAS MA 226, CAS PY 405, and ENG ME 420 or ENG ME 421; or their equivalents, or consent of instructor. Introduction to the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. The dynamic, electrodynamic, radiative, and chemical processes occurring in the atmosphere from ground level to near-space are developed to establish the conditions found in the upper-atmospheric/ionospheric region. Recent offerings have included numerical simulation of the ionospheric electron density profile. Numerical experiments that change the solar input and neutral atmospheric density, composition, winds, and temperature are then run to study the response of the ionosphere to these factors that control the ionosphere. Recommended for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in engineering, astronomy, and physics and those with interests in environmental topics. 4 cr.
