4.00 Credits
Provides an understanding of the information transfer and transformations that occur in a computer, with emphasis on the relations between computer architecture and organization. Topics include design levels and their respective primitives, modules and descriptive media, register transfer and micro-operations basic computer organization and design, central processor organization, control unit and microprogramming, memory organization, input output organization, computer architecture-defi ning the hardware/software interface, and from architecture to organization. (0306-250) Class 4, Credit 4 (S, SU)
-
4.00 Credits
Provides the critical tools to quantitatively analyze uniprocessor computer performance. Instruction set architecture alternatives are described and examples are presented of each alternative, such as load-and-store, CISC, stack, etc. Techniques to enhance performance, such as pipelining, cache memory and memory hierarchy, are presented. The use of vector processing, such as is used in supercomputers, is described and analyzed. Finally, the impact of input/output on computer performance is described. (0306-550) Class 4, Credit 4 (F, W)
-
4.00 Credits
Concentrates on the analysis, simulation and design of digital control systems using root locus, frequency response and state variable representation. It also deals with the microprocessor-based implementation of digital fi lters for control applications. (0306-451) Class 4, Credit 4 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to some common transducers, transformations from raw measured quantity to transducer output. Instrumentation amplifi ers, active fi lters, analog switching for applications in multiplexers, and sample and hold circuits. The analog-to-digital and digital-to analog conversions processes. Logic families including TTL, ECL, CMOS, BiCMOS and their interfaces to each other. Mentor Graphics design tools are used to design active fi lters. (0306-460) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the specifi cation, analysis, design and implementation of digital systems. The hierarchical and structured design methodology is introduced. Both synchronous and asynchronous sequential machines are studied. Student designs incorporate MSI/LSI modules, PALS, EPROMS, FPGAs and elements of VHDL. Design for testability is emphasized. (0306-341, 351) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (S, SU)
-
3.00 Credits
Allows upper-level undergraduate students an opportunity to independently investigate, under faculty supervision, aspects of the fi eld of computer engineering that are not suffi ciently covered in existing courses. Proposals for independent study activities must be approved by both the faculty member supervising the independent study and the department head. (Permission of supervising faculty member and department head required.) Credit variable 1-4
-
4.00 Credits
As interest in wireless technology is booming, wireless networks are enjoying very fast growth. This course covers fundamental techniques in design and operation of fi rst, second, and third generation wireless networks: cellular systems, medium access techniques, radio propagation models, error control techniques, handoff, power control, common air protocols (AMPS, IS-95, IS-136, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, cdma2000, etc), radio resource and network management. As an example for the third generation air interfaces, wireless Internet and sensor networks are discussed in detail since it is expected to have a large impact on future wireless networks. (0306-694) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Deals with the computer as a tool or aid in the design and creation of digital systems. The VHDL hardware description language is used to specify digital systems on the behavioral, data-fl ow, register- register-transfer and structural levels or logic elements levels. Simulation techniques and logic synthesis methods are studied and implemented on VHDL models using tools from Mentor Graphics Corporation. (0306-561) Class 4, Credit 4 (F, W)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth study of state-of-the-art high performance computer architectures. The primary objective of the course is to understand the architectural features used in modern processors and the corresponding impact on performance. The course material will be derived from current and recent micro-architecture research publications. The course includes programming assignments and a term paper. (0306-551) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
The course is an introduction to the design and implementation of very large scale integration (or VLSI) including NMOS, PMOS devices and CMOS circuits and digital subsystems. The procedures for designing and implementing digital integrated systems will be covered, including the Mead and Conway structural design approach consisting of the use of stick diagramming, scaling of CMOS design rules and techniques for estimating time delays. Emphasis will be placed on the use of static and domino logic CMOS circuits and regular structures. The use of workstations with Mentor Graphics design tools for circuit simulation and for physical layouts will be stressed. Laboratory design projects will be required. (0306-561, or 650, and 0306-460 or equivalent) Class 4, Lab 2, Credit 4 (F, W, S, Su)
