Summer Semester This course introduces fundamental concepts of analog and digital communication networks and examines applications in the realms of optical and wireless communications. The course also covers basic principles and applications of data transmission in wireless and optical channels. Topics include: communication network architecture, protocols, flow control and routing, local and wide area networks, client-sever computing, voice and data communications, data security and integrity, performance evaluation and network management, and compression and decompression technology. Prerequisite: ECE330. 3 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Spring Semester Power electronics is the application of electronic circuits to energy conversion. This course focuses on electronic power circuits and their interfacing with actuators. Power conversion is discussed thoroughly including DC/AC converters, basic diode and thyristor converter systems, AC/DC inverter, and space vector modulation. Relevant electronic components and integrated circuits are discussed. Electronic power processing and control as applied to industrial drives and potential uses are discussed. Prerequisites: ECE310, ECE360. 4 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Spring Semester This course emphasizes methods for designing real-time software and choosing hardware for embedded computers. Relevant theory and background from real-time systems and control engineering will be covered in the lectures, including event-based and clock-based sampling, switching control, PWM (pulse-width modulation), PID (proportional-integral-derivative) design, state-variable feedback, state estimation, and methods for setpoint control and trajectory tracking. Basic microcontroller, sensor, and actuator technologies will be reviewed. In the laboratory, students use tools for simulation and automatic code generation to design and build a safe, reliable and robust embedded system. Prerequisite: ECE370. 4 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Spring Semester Analysis and design of communication systems based on random variables, moments, autocorrelation and power spectral density will be discussed. Topics include: analysis of noise, pulse shaping, bandpass signals, sampled signals, modulation and mixing. Applications include analysis of bit error rate, error probability of coded systems, and clocking probability properties and the impact of these properties on communication system design. Prerequisites: ECE350, ECE380. 4 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Spring Semester This course introduces fundamental principles and applications of automatic control. Theoretical emphasis is on problem formulation, analysis and synthesis using frequency and time domain techniques. Topics include: performance, stability, realizability, compensation, root-locus and frequency response design, pole-zero synthesis and robustness. State space modeling of linear time-invariant systems is introduced as time permits. The laboratory is dedicated to applications of control theory to physical systems and implementation of methods of applied control. Prerequisite: ECE330. 4 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Summer Semester This course introduces the student to the fundamental elements of automated systems, e.g., manipulation, machine vision, and robotics. The students are introduced to the kinematics of robots, their basic dynamics, and their control. The integration of robots with machine vision for navigation and task coordination is also discussed and various applications studied. Communication technology commonly applied in automation is introduced. Prerequisite: CS200 or EGR256. 3 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Summer Semester This course discusses the theory and design of digital systems at the transistor level. Beginning with the characteristics of the static CMOS inverter, this course explores alternative design techniques such as dynamic logic and NMOS design. Having established a basis for discussion, the topics of circuit delay and power consumption are introduced, with an emphasis on the problems facing modern VLSI designers, and thus the entire semiconductor industry. Finally, the course discusses the relative importance of VLSI techniques in larger scale designs, including the architectural impact of the underlying circuits. Prerequisite: ECE220. 3 credit hours.

3.00 Credits
Summer Semester This course is an introduction to modern computer-aided design (''CAD'') of digital systems. The topics covered in this course are a combination of three areas: (i) optimization algorithms, (ii) digital design, and (iii) software tools and applications. It is suitable for students with a range of interests: from those more interested in applied theory and algorithms to those more interested in digital design. The course systematically covers some of the major automated steps used in modern CAD tools: starting from a user's high-level architectural specification for an entire digital system, down to the optimized creation of low-level hardware. Prerequisite: ECE370.3 credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
These courses allow for upper division elective courses to be offered on selected topics of interest or need to the students. These courses are normally restricted to upper-level engineering students and are offered when possible based upon the availability of instructors and other necessary resources. 3 credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course enables a student to carry out research or in-depth study in a specialized area of electrical or computer engineering. The student carries out work under the guidance of a selected faculty member. Regular class meetings may or may not occur as part of this work. Effective independent study is characterized by a reduction in formal instruction by faculty and an increase in student initiative and responsibility in the learning process. Prerequisite: Must have completed 60 credits and minimum 2.5 GPA
