-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course offers an introduction to the various disciplines of engineering. It is a project-based sequence (Energy Conversion and the Environment, Robotic Remote Sensing, and Wireless Image & Video Transmission) that covers engineering disciplines and their relationship to the principles of physics and mathematics.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Technology and society are unthinkable without each other - each provides the means and framework in which the other develops. To explore this dynamic, this course investigates a wide array of questions on the interaction between technology, society, politics, and economics, emphasizing the themes of innovation and maturation, systems and regulation, risk and failure, and ethics and expertise. Specific topics covered include nuclear power and waste, genetically-modified organisms, regulation of the internet, medical mistakes, intellectual property, the financial crisis of 2008, and the post-fossil-fuels economy.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
In the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program, students earn academic credit for their participation in multidisciplinary design teams that solve technology-based problems for local not-for-profit organizations. The teams are: multidisciplinary--drawing students from across engineering and around the university; vertically-integrated--maintaining a mix of sophomores through seniors each semester; and long-term--each student may participate in a project for up to six semesters. The continuity, technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams enable delivery of projects of significant benefit to the community.

This course analyzes how technical innovation in the private sector serves to create or resolve international disputes. Students learn to assess the impact of rapid, discontinuous technical innovation on foreign policy outcomes, and how to trace the underlying scientific source of these innovations. They learn how business managers and government regulators grapple with technical innovation. Students also become handy with basic decision-tree analysis. From a theoretical perspective, this course focuses on the interface between regulatory policy and markets, between the theory of public goods and the hard realities of private profit.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Focus: how entrepreneurial ventures - as compared with international aid programs, private philanthropy and corporate social responsibility initiatives - can potentially address major global challenges such as widespread poverty, intractable disease, slum housing and global warming that affect the lives and well-being of billions. Design: after overview of selected global challenges and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, we will explore emerging and established ventures in each of these challenge arenas in more detail. Classes: combination of lectures and case discussions, interspersed with conversations with entrepreneurs.

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course educates the graduate student of engineering in the responsible conduct of research. The lectures provide theoretical background information as well as case studies about ethics in day-to-day research situations, in publishing and peer-review, in student-advisor relationships, in collaborative research, as well as in the big picture and considerations of long-term impact. The students are provided with resources to consult in ethical questions. In small-group discussions in departmental and research field-specific precepts, the theoretical concepts are made relevant to the individual students situations.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introductory overview of techniques used to process information-carrying signals, with a view towards understanding some of the key ideas and methods responsible for the revolution in information technology. The course deals with various aspects of how information (text, audio, image, video, etc.) is acquired, stored, distributed, and analyzed. Examples are drawn from a wide range of real systems and applications such as CD's, television, computers, telephony, and the internet.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to circuit analysis and electronics. Passive components and circuits, operational amplifiers, feedback. Resistive networks, Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits. Capacitors and inductors. Switched RL, RC and RLC circuits. Oscillation. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis, frequency response, bipolar and MOSFT transistor circuits.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the basic concepts in logic design that form the basis of computation and communication circuits. Logic gates and memeory elements. Timing methodologies. Finite state systems. Programmable logic. Basic computer organization.
