3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Senior standing. This course is designed to make students aware of some of the problems, concerns, and responsibilities of an engineer as a professional. In addition, students are guided in formulating a proposal for a Senior Design Project in preparation for project work in EE 440. Students participate in discussions, led by invited speakers, on topics that enable students to write a professional resume, interview for a job, generate an effective and substantive report, and make an effective technical oral presentation. Students are exposed to ethical issues in engineering environments, made aware of the necessity of protecting their work with either patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and of not infringing on the similar rights of others; and apprised of issues of safety in the work place, product liability, and the importance of professional registration. Faculty and representatives from industry present ideas for senior design projects and each student chooses a project, and develops and writes a project proposal with the supervision and guidance of a faculty advisor. The assessment in this course is based on students' participation in discussions, the submission of short papers on some of the issues raised in the presentations, and the quality of project proposal and the oral presentation. One class hour. 1 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: EE 439 and graduating senior status. This is a capstone design course that prepares students for entry-level positions. In this course each student works on an independent engineering project under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Students apply the design process and communicate the results of their project work in both oral and written form. Oral reports are presented before an assembly of faculty and students. Students apply engineering design principles either by working on a product, improving a product, or designing experiments to investigate causes of either an observed phenomenon or a problem in engineering. Students are required to demonstrate their achievements using appropriate laboratory exhibits. Students who select industry-sponsored projects have the opportunity of working with the industrial advisor in an actual engineering environment. The assessment in this course is based on the student's level of commitment demonstrated throughout the semester, the level of achievement attained, the recording of activities in a log book, and the quality of the written report and oral presentation. Meeting hours by arrangement. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 350 or concurrently. This is a study of the basic concepts of neural networks and its application in engineering. In this course students learn the single layer and multilayer neural network architectures; understand linear and nonlinear activation functions; and analyze and implement McCulloch-Pitts, Hebbian, Hopfield, Perceptron, Widrow-Hoff, ADALINE, delta, and back propagation, learning techniques with ample practical applications. Students also learn to use MATLAB computational software to understand new concepts and to perform and implement neural network rules and paradigms. The methods of assessing student learning in this course are homework assignments, quizzes, classroom discussions, design projects, and a final exam. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 350; EE 314 or equivalent. Electro-optics is the study of the effects of electric fields on optical phenomena. A study of light and basic geometrical and physical optics theory prepares students for investigation of the electronic and optical properties of light sources and detectors including LEDs, lasers, display devices, photodetectors, detector arrays, and charge transfer devices. After an investigation of electro-optics system design and analysis techniques, students develop an understanding of such applications as optical signal processing, electro-optics sensors, optical communications, optical computing, holography, integrated optics, display technologies, and fiber-optics. A design paper is required. Upon completion of this course, the student should understand the design and analysis techniques used in modern electro-optics systems and apply these methods in electro-optics applications. The methods of assessing student learning in this course are homework assignments, quizzes, classroom discussions, design projects, and a final exam. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: EE 320 or equivalent and EE 422 or equivalent. This is a graduate level course in the component's and systems used in power electronics, After successfully completing this course students will be familiar with the types and uses of electronic power components as well as understanding and using the various analytical methods (including state space and piecewise linear) that model components and systems that manage, control and convert electrical energy. Topics include (but are not limited to) semiconductor power devices (such as diodes, SCRs, power FETs, etc.), energy conversion methods (such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, etc.), converter electronics (such as buck, boost, etc.), conversion efficiency, and output regulation. The methods of assessing student learning in this course are homework assignments, quizzes, classroom discussion, a research project, and a final exam. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EE 314 or equivalent. The general objective of the course is to introduce students to the principles, processes, and techniques used in the design and realization of modern microwave and wireless active circuits. The course examines a variety of commonly used circuits including detectors, mixers, oscillators, and amplifiers that are the building blocks of all communication platforms. Throughout the semester, SerenadeSV, Sonnet Lite, and MATLAB will be used to emphasize and to help in understanding important concepts of the course as well as a tool for solving homework problems. The primary methods of assessing student learning are homework assignments, quizzes, exams, and design projects. 3 cr.

Prerequisite: EE 312. The electrical behavior of solids, or the transport of charge through a metal or semiconductor, is determined by the properties of the electrons and the arrangement of atoms in the solid. Through a study of the crystal structure of electronic materials and the fundamentals of quantum electronics, students understand the band theory of solids, particle statistics, transport phenomena, and conductivity. Further study of equilibrium distributions in semiconductor carriers and p-n junctions leads to an understanding of solid state device operation. The investigation of practical devices such as diodes, IMPATT diodes, bipolar and junction field-effect transistors, and MOS devices enhance students' knowledge of the design and analysis techniques used in real-world applications. A design project is required. Upon completion of this course students should be proficient in the use of solid-state component and system design techniques and are familiar with a wide variety of semiconductor device applications.
