0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines what is inside a microchip, how it works, and how it is made. Topics include semiconductor material structures and properties, pn junction, solar cells, metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors (MOSFET's), bipolar transistors, and their circuit applications such as digital gates and analog amplifiers, as well as microfabrication technology for semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, such as photolithography, etching, evaporation, and other thin film processing. The course has a hands-on integrated circuit microfabrication lab to fabricate diodes, MOSFET's and circuits by students themselves.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Development of analysis tools to study analog and digital signals, including sampling, reconstruction, and modulation. Use of time and frequency domain techniques to investigate signals through systems, including feedback systems and their stability. Examples will be drawn from CD drive, motor speed control, AM and FM radio broadcast.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Comprehensive, laboratory-based course in electronic system design and analysis. Covers formal methods for the design and analysis of moderately complex real-world electronic systems. Course is centered around a semester-long design project involving a computer-controlled vehicle designed and constructed by teams of two students. Integrates microprocessors, communications, and control.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The physics and technology of solid state devices. Review of electronic structure of semiconductors, energy bands, doping. Detailed analysis of p-n junctions, bipolar transistors and field effect transistors. Survey of a wide range of devices, including photodetectors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes and semiconductor lasers, tunnelling devices and single-electron transistors, power transistors, photoconductors, electro-optic devices, piezoelectric and micro-electromechancial devices, sensors for chemicals, and devices for magnetic and optical recording.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the basic principles that govern the operation of modern solid state and optoelectronic devices. The emphasis is on fundamentals rather than applications. The major portion of the course will be devoted to quantum mechanics and statistical physics with examples from solid state and materials physics and quantum electronics. This provides the basic background needed to understand the physics of device operations and also prepares the student for more advanced courses in solid state and quantum electronics (such as ELE 441, 442 and 453). For more details, see Undergraduate Announcement.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course should provide the students with a broad and solid background in electromagnetics, including both statics and dynamics, as described by Maxwell's equations. Emphasis will be on basic engineering principles, and applications will be discussed throughout. Examples include cavities, waveguides, antennas, and fiber optic communications.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course presents an introduction to wave dynamics and imaging. Topics include geometrical and Fourier optics, diffraction, microscopy, photography and holography. Modern methods to beat the diffraction limit, including near-field and computational imagining, will be discussed.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An informal introduction to the physical basis of electronic and optical devices used in information processing, storage, and communications. The course provides accessible coverage of the principles of the classical theory of metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics; physical optics; introductory quantum mechanics; and the theory of radiation. The covered material lays the foundation for understanding the way transistors, micro-processors, lasers, DVDs, and many other modern devices operate.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Fall, 2009 offering represents a redesign of this course based on the experiences over the last few years. The first part of the course introduces algorithms to optimize networked systems in electronic, biological, and social substrates, with examples from signal processing, computer networking, and financial engineering. The second part focuses on the details of optimization methodology's applications to Green Information Technology, including modeling and design of energy-aware and environmentally-friendly communication, computation, and control in the emerging field of Green IT.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course surveys the technology underlying secure transactions and safe interactions in a public Internet and wireless world. Topics include cyber security needs such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, access control, authorization, authentication, non-repudiation, trust, privacy and anonymity. Case studies are selected from e-commerce, denial of service attacks, viruses and worms, spam, e-voting, digital rights management, and cyber-terrorism. Related policy, social and economic issues are also discussed.
