3.00 Credits
Complex Systems Biology is an interdisciplinary course based on systems science, engineering, biology, and medicine. The objective is to provide students with an understanding of the current state of systems biology and major challenges ahead. The biological phenomena across the level of complexity will be considered from molecular to organisms and ecology to provide universality of the systems concepts for understanding the functions and behavior of biological systems. Case studies are used and a course project is required to be completed. Prereq: Junior Standing.

Theory and practice of computer graphics: Basic elements of a computer graphics rendering pipeline. Fundamentals of input and display devices. Geometrical transformations and their matrix representations. Homogeneous coordinates, projective and perspective transformations. Algorithms for clipping, hidden surface removal, and anti-aliasing. Rendering algorithms: introduction to local and global shading models, color, and lighting models for reflection, refraction, transparency. Real-time rendering methods and animation. Recommended preparation: EECS 233.

4.00 Credits
This course will consist of lectures and lab projects designed to provide students with an opportunity to consolidate their theoretical knowledge of electronics and to acquaint them with the art and practice of circuit and product design. The lectures will cover electrical and electronic circuits and many electronic and electrical devices and applications. Examples include mixed-signal circuits, power electronics, magnetic and piezo components, gas discharge devices, sensors, motors and generators, and power systems. In addition, there will be discussion of professional topics such as regulatory agencies, manufacturing, testing, reliability, and product cost. Weekly labs will be true "design" opportunities representing real-world applications. A specification or functional description will be provided, and the students will design the circuit, select all components, construct a breadboard, and test. The objective will be functional, pragmatic, cost-effective designs. Prereq: EECS 245.

3.00 Credits
This course introduces applied quantitative robust and nonlinear control engineering techniques to regulate automatically renewable energy systems in general and wind turbines in particular. The course also studies the fundamentals for dynamic multidisciplinary modeling and analysis of large multi-megawatt wind turbines (mechanics, aerodynamics, electrical systems, control concepts, etc.). The course combines lecture sessions and lab hours. The 400-level includes an experimental lab competition, where the object is to design, implement, and experimentally validate a control strategy to regulate a real system in the laboratory (helicopter control competition or similar); it will also include additional project design reports. Offered as EECS 374 and EECS 474. Prereq: EECS 304.

4.00 Credits
Design of software systems for mobile robot control, including: motion control; sensory processing; localization and mapping; mobile-robot planning and navigation; and implementation of goal-directed behaviors. The course has a heavy lab component involving a sequence of design challenges and competitions performed in teams. Prereq: ENGR 131 or EECS 233.

3.00 Credits
Today, the most interesting computer code and microprocessor designs are "embedded" and hence interact with the physical world, producing a mixture of digital and analog domains. The class studies an array of tools for understanding and designing these "hybrid systems." Topics include: basics of language and finite state automata theory, discrete-event dynamic systems, Petri nets, timed and hybrid automata, and hybrid dynamical systems. Simulation, verification, and control concepts and languages for these models. Prereq: MATH 224 and (EECS 246 or EECS 302 or MATH 304).

3.00 Credits
This game development project course will bring together an interdisciplinary group of advanced undergraduate students in the fields of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Art, Music, and English to focus on the design and development of a complete, fully-functioning computer game (as an interdisciplinary team). The student teams are given complete liberty to design their own fully functional games from their original concept to a playable finished product, i.e., from the initial idea through to the wrapped box. The student teams will experience the entire game development cycle as they execute their projects. Responsibilities include creating a game idea, writing a story, developing the artwork, designing characters, implementing music and sound effects, programming and testing the game, and documenting the entire project. Recommended preparation: Junior or Senior standing and consent of instructor.
