  • ESE 400: Engineering Economics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of Calculus and Probability. This course investigates methods of economic analysis for decision making among alternative courses of action in engineering applications. Topics include: cost-driven design economics, break-even anlaysis, money-time relationships, rates of return, cost estimation, depreciation and taxes, foreign exchange rates, life cycle analysis, benefit-cost ratios, risk analysis, capital financing and allocation, and financial statement analysis. Case studies apply these topics to actual engineering problems.

  • ESE 404: Introduction to Networks and Protocols

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate probability and analysis. Course open to Seniors in SEAS and Wharton. All others require instructor permission. This is an introductory course on packet networks and associated protocols that form the basis of today's communication infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on IP based networks such as the Internet. The course introduces the various design and implementation choices that are behind the development of modern networks, and emphasizes basic analytical understanding in motivating those choices. Topics are covered in a mostly "bottom-up" approach starting with a brief review of physical layer issues such as digital transmission, error correction and error recovery strategies . This is then followed by a discussion of link layer aspects, including multiple access control (MAC) strategies, local area networks (Ethernet, token rings, and 802.11 wireless LANs), and general store-andforward packet switching. Network layer solutions, including IP addressing, naming, and routing are covered next, before exploring transport layer and congestion control soutions such as TCP. Finally, basic approaches for quality-ofservice and network security are examined. Specific applications and aspects of data compression and streaming may also be covered.

  • ESE 411: Electromagnetic Waves and Applications

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): ESE 310 or permission of instructor. Key concepts of electromagnetic and optical fields and waves, and their implications in modern communication systems. Selected topics from areas such as plane waves in lossy media, reflection and refraction, transmission lines, optical fibers, microwave and photonic waveguides, and antennas and sensors and their applications in communication systems are discussed.

  • ESE 412: Chaotic Dynamics in Electrical and Biological Systems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 240, PHYS 150 or permission of the instructor. Introduction to chaos, bifurcation, synchronicity, and strange attractors in nonlinear dynamics and their use in understanding complexity, self-organization, self-similarity, and learning in selected man-made and biological circuits and for understanding the essentials of biological-clocks, neuron dynamics, coupled-map lattices, cellular automata and neural networks.

  • ESE 419: Analog Integrated Circuits

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): ESE 319, ESE 570, or permission of the instructor. Design of analog circuits and subsystems using bipolar and MOS technologies at the transistor and higher levels. Transistor level design of building block circuits such as op amps, comparators, sample and hold circuits, voltage and current references, capacitors and resistor arrays, and class AB output stages. The course will include a design project of an analog circuit. This course is similar to ESE 570, except that it will not require the use of the physical layout tools associated with VLSI design and implementation. Students who take ESE 419 will not later be eligible to take ESE 572 for credit.

  • ESE 441: Senior Design Project I-EE/CTE

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Senior standing or permission of the instructor. This is the first of a two-semester sequence in electrical engineering senior design. Student work will focus on project/team definition, systems analysis, identification alternative design strategies and determination (experimental or by simualtion) of specifications necessary for a detailed design. Students will receive guidance on preparing professinal written and oral presentations. Each project team will submit a project proposal and two written project reports that include coherent technical presentations, block diagrams and other illustrations appropriate to the project, a budget and team schedule with sufficient detal and granularity to enable close management of the project. Each student will deliver two formal Powerpoint presentations to an audience comprised of peers, instructors and project advisors. During the semester there will be periodic individual-team project reviews.

  • ESE 442: Senior Design Project II-EE/CTE

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): ESE 441. This is the second of a two-term sequence in electrical engineering senior design. Student work will focus on completing the design undertaken in ESE 441 and successfully implementing the project. Success will be verified using experimental and/or simualtion methods appropriate to the project that test the degree to which project objectives are achieved. Each project team will prepare a poster to support a final project presentation and demonstration to peers, faculty and external judges. The course will conclude with the submission of a final project written team report. During the semester there will be periodic project reviews with individual teams.

  • ESE 444: Project Management

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): ESE 304 or equivalent. The course emphasizes a systems engineering approach to project management including the cycle costing and analysis, project scheduling, project organization and control, contract management, project monitoring and negotiations. In addition, the coure will also examine management issues in large infrastructure projects like non recourse or limited recourse project financing. Examples from the logistics planning process and global software project management will be used to highlight the course topics.
