All terms: Arrange This course offers an opportunity for a student to do independent reading and research under the guidance of a full-time faculty member of the Education Department. Independent Study proposals that have been approved by a faculty member are due for final approval by the Department Chair no later than the third day of classes for the term. A form outlining the requirements for proposals is available from the Department and is posted on the Education Department webpage under "Courses." Prerequisite: permission of the Chair.

Not offered in the period from 08F through 09S How do different cognitive abilities such as reading, writing, mathematics and spatial abilities change over development How can we use what we know about the brain to inform the way in which we teach children and develop educational programs This seminar seeks to critically discuss these questions by comparing and contrasting the way in which development is construed across multiple disciplines (education, neuroscience, psychology). We will critically evaluate what convergences and divergences exist across these disciplines that might be exploited to gain new insights into aspects of cognitive development that are critical to educating children in schools (such as thinking, learning, knowledge and skill acquisition). This will enable a discussion of how such an integrative approach may help to structure better educational programs for typically developing children and intervention programs for children with atypical development. Prerequisite: permission of the Department. Dist: SOC.

09W, 10W: 3A This course addresses the most modern advances in human development related to perception, attention, learning, memory, executive function, emotion, and language, drawing across multiple disciplines and technologies. There is a strong emphasis on educational implications. Open to senior minors in Human Development and Education. Prerequisite: permission of the Department. Dist: SOC. Coch.

08F: 2A This course explores intersections of socio-economic status, learning and performance in the American education system-intersections that contribute to an ever-rigidifying social structure where 1% of families control more wealth than the lower 90%. We will use such lenses as educational policy research, autobiographical narrative, educational neuroscience, cognitive development findings, and economic analysis to analyze the educational experiences of young people from lower income backgrounds, from the early home environment through higher education. Open to all classes. Dist: SOC. Davis.

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S The design methodology of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits as practiced in industry will be discussed. Topics considered will include a review of integrated Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) device basics, fundamental device configurations in circuits, logic circuit building blocks (inverters, latches, etc.), charge storage and sensing techniques, circuit modeling and analysis techniques, layout rules and their derivation, and circuit design checking tools. A design project is also required in which the student will design, analyze, and optimize a small CMOS circuit. This analysis and some homework assignments will require the student to perform analog circuit simulations to verify digital circuit performance. The project will then be fabricated by the MOSIS service and delivered in the Spring term. Final testing and evaluation are then performed. Grades will be withheld until these final steps are completed. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 32, 63 or permission.

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S The methods, tools, and technology used in the design and synthesis of complex digital systems will be discussed, with emphasis on problems addressed in industry today. The course focus will be on the description, validation, and synthesis of systems slated for implementation as ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). A major system design is undertaken in which the student will design, analyze, and optimize a macrocell of the CMOS ASIS circuit. This analysis and some homework assignments will require the student to perform circuit simulation, analysis, validation, and synthesis using the industry-standard hardware-description language Verilog as well as other appropriate CAD tools. By completion of the course, the student should have the skills necessary to contribute significantly to a Verilog-based chip design effort in industry or academic research. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 32 and 63 or permission of the instructor.

08F, 09F: 11; Laboratory A very significant part of designing electronic instruments involves selecting the appropriate physical devices to translate quantities to be measured into voltages or currents that can be sensed with electronic circuits. The range of sensors and transducers available will be studied with examples from industry and medical instrumentation. The course will explore in some detail the use of analog to digital (A/D) and digital to analog (D/A) converters and their applications. Students will also learn to use complete A/D-microprocessor-D/A systems since these are part of nearly all instruments now. In this course students will learn to implement a complete instrumentation system with a "system on a chip" device and also explore the use of very high performance digital signal processing (DSP) devices to implement advanced algorithms. We will review the basic concepts one needs to understand to construct such instruments and experiment through a series of labs. The course will culminate with group projects to induce the students to go through the design process on a problem of their choice.Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 31 and 61 or equivalent. Hartov.

3.00 Credits
Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S Application of the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions to the understanding of such corrosion phenomena as oxidation, passivity, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion fatigue. Discussion of methods of corrosion control and prevention including alloy selection, environmental control, anodic and cathodic protection, and protective coatings. Some treatment of the environmental degradation of non-metals and polymers. Applications to current materials degradation problems in marine environments, petrochemical and metallurgical industries, and energy conversion systems. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 24 and Chemistry 5. Frost.
