  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 384 and ECE 475; or permission of instructor Applications of digital signal processing to speech signals. Course goals are to reinforce concepts learned in prerequisite courses, to introduce new tools needed to deal with time-varying signals and to have students apply what they have learned to their own voices. A semester design project is a large component of this course. Topics include a& brief introduction to articulatory and acoustic phonetics, hearing and speech perception, time-domain methods for speech processing, short-time Fourier analysis, homomorphic speech processing, linear predictive coding of speech, and applications.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 321 Classical control of single-input single-output systems. Both time domain and frequency domain analysis and design techniques are presented. Subjects included are signal flowgraphs, control devices, electrical motors, root-locus, Bod plots, stability, Routh-Hurwitz criterion, Nyquist stability, phase lead/lag controllers and PID controllers.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 481 Continuation of ECE 481. Control Theory II introduces control of discrete systems, modern control theory, and nonlinear control. Concepts of discrete systems, state variables, observability, controllability, phase plane and describing functions method are surveyed.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MTH 213 (or MTH 211) and MTH 212 Selective topics in advanced engineering mathematics. The mathematical areas considered are linear algebra, partial differential equations, complex analysis, and calculus of variations. Representative examples of the topics covered are real and complex matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, method of separating variables for solving partial differential equations, solution of partial differential equations by Fourier series and integrals, integration of complex functions, Taylor and Laurent series, conformal mapping, unconstrained and constrained optimization, and Lagrange multipliers.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 367 or CIS 370 Introduction to database systems from an architectural and functional perspective. The course provides an overview of database systems architecture, computer representation of information, computer data storage, properties of persistent data, database structuring models (relational, object, object-relational, and entity-relationship), transaction processing models, concurrency control techniques, database transaction recovery, and security. These concepts will then be explored by examining and comparing the architecture and operations of database systems such as conventional, real-time, temporal, fault-tolerant, distributed, heterogeneous, secure and others.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 469 Principles and practices of security in computer networks. This course covers the theoretical foundations of securing computer networks including cryptography and models. It steps through the practical process of defending networking resources. It also reveals various case studies, large and small, to familiarize the techniques that attackers use.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Upper level undergraduate standing with course in calculus including partial differential equations Fundamentals of acoustics including vibration and wave propagation in solid and fluid media. Topics include: vibration and wave propagation in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional media including lumped parameter systems, strings, bars, membranes, thin plates and fluids; mechanical and electrical equivalent circuit models,& normal modes, linearized wave equation and solutions, reflection, transmission, refraction and attenuation phenomena in fluids, production and reception of sound, basic properties of transducers and arrays. Cross-listed with ECE 557
  • 3.00 Credits

    2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory Prerequisites: Senior standing in College of Engineering Study of a range of ocean engineering topics to provide a basis for the design of systems, which must function in the ocean environment. Topics include ocean waves, water quality, ocean optics, vehicle dynamics, underwater structures, and ocean sensing systems.
