  • 18 401: Electromechanics

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course provides a broadly based introduction to interactions between mechanical media and electromagnetic fields. Attention is focused on the electromechanical dynamics of lumped-parameter systems, wherein electrical and mechanical subsystems may be modeled in terms of discrete elements. Interactions of quasistatic electric and magnetic fields with moving media are described and exemplified. Unifying examples are drawn from a wide range of technological applications, including energy conversion in synchronous, induction, and commutator rotating machines, electromechanical relays, a capacitor microphone and speaker, and a feedback-controlled magnetic levitation system. 4.5 hrs. rec.

  • 18 402: Applied Electrodynamics

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course builds upon the electric and magnetic field foundations established in 18-300 to describe phenomena and devices where electromagnetic waves are a central issue. Topics include: review of Maxwell's equations, propagation of uniform plane waves in lossless and lossy media, energy conservation as described by the Poynting Theorem, reflection and transmission with normal and oblique incidence upon boundaries, sinusoidal steady state and transients on 2-conductor transmission lines, modal descriptions of waveguides, radiation and antennas. 4 hrs. lec.

  • 18 415: From Design to the Market for Deep Submicron IC's

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    The general objective of the 18-415 class is to introduce and analyze all major design-dependent trade-offs which decide about the IC product commercial success. This objective will be achieved via playing in the class an "imaginary fabless IC design house startup game"- a main class activity. In this game students will be asked to construct "business plans" for a startup fabless IC design house. Each team in the class will have to envision, as an IC design objective, a new product with a functionality, which is already provided by another existing IC product (i.e. by microprocessor). The envisioned product should provide a subset of functionality of the existing product but it should be "better" in some other respect (e.g. it could be less expensive to fabricate, faster etc.). To handle the above assignment, students in the class will be using skills learned in 18-322 as well as all legal sources of "industrial intelligence" typically available for the IC industry. They can also use the class teacher as a source of free consulting, as well as, they can ask for any sequence of lectures or literature sources which they will need to meet the class objectives.

  • 18 418: Electric Energy Processing: Fundamentals and Applications

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of electric energy conversion, and its use in several real-life electric energy systems. The course starts with a brief review of electromagnetic and electromechanical conversion underlying electric power generation. The first part of the course introduces basic components found in today's electric energy systems, such as 1) electric machines (generators and motors), 2) power electronics for converting between AC and DC portion of an electric energy system, and 3) control of these components for their efficient use. The principles underlying design, operations and control of these components are introduced using conversion fundamentals and basic electric circuit knowledge. The second part of this course introduces several key electric energy systems used in today's industry. Examples of such systems are 1) home distribution electric power systems; 2) electric power systems for vehicles; 3) electric power systems for ships; and 4) airspace electric power systems (such as airplanes and space shuttles). This course provides an important bridge between the applied physics and the systems areas in the ECE. It is intended to bring out the fact that it is electric energy and its conversion that underlies much of what one does in ECE.

  • 18 419: Semiconductor Device Applications - Optoelectronics and Nanoelectronics

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course is designed to introduce important semiconductor optoelectronic devices and applications, such as light emitting diode (LED), solid state Laser, photo-detector, and solar cell, etc. It provides students with fundamental knowledge in optoelectronics as well as critical device design engineering. Developed on top of the fundamental knowledge covered in 18-310, the course begins with discussion on basic optics and device physics; it then focuses on operational principle, design engineering, and important applications of the devices. Special topics on novel nanoscale electronics and optoelectronics including nanowire, nano-particle light emitting and photovoltaic devices will also be discussed. In addition, an introduction to low-cost, flexible organic devices, e.g. display and solar cells will be presented. Prerequisite(s): 18-310

  • 18 431: Undergraduate Projects - Senior

    1.00 - 18.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon considers experiential learning opportunities important educational options for its undergraduate students. One such option is conducting undergraduate research with a faculty member. Students do not need to officially register for undergraduate research unless they want it listed on their official transcripts. An ECE student who is involved in a research project and is interested in registering this undergraduate research for course credit on the official transcript may request to be enrolled in this course. To do this, the student should first complete the on-line undergraduate research form available on the ECE undergraduate student page. Once the form has been submitted and approved by the faculty member the student is conducting the research with, the ECE Undergraduate Office will add the course to the student's schedule. Typical credit is granted as one hour of research per week is equal to one unit of credit.

  • 18 447: Introduction to Computer Architecture

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    Computer architecture is the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create a computer that meets functional, performance and cost goals. This course introduces the basic hardware structure of a modern programmable computer including, the basic laws underlying performance evaluation. We will learn, for example, how to design the control and data path hardware for a MIPS-like processor, how to make machine instructions execute simultaneously through pipelining and simple superscalar execution, and how to design fast memory and storage systems. The principles presented in lecture are reinforced in the laboratory through design and simulation of a register transfer (RT) implementation of a MIPS-like pipelined superscalar in Verilog. Learning to design programmable systems requires that you already have the knowledge of building RT systems as is taught in the prerequisite 18-240, the knowledge of the behavior storage hierarchies (e.g., cache memories) and virtual memory as is taught in the prerequisite 15-213, and the knowledge of assembly language programming as is taught in the prerequisites. 3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
