Courses

Covers the fundamentals of probability theory, and treats the random variables and random processes of greatest importance in electrical engineering. Provides a foundation for study of communication theory, control theory, reliability theory, optics, and portfolio analysis. Prereqs., APPM 2350 and 2360. Credit not granted for this course and MATH 4510 or APPM 3570. Prerequisites: Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.

Offers an opportunity for juniors to do independent, creative work. Numbered ECEN 3840-3849. Prereq., instructor consent.

Participate in a cooperative education program working with a corporate or government entity. Individual assignments are arranged between the department and the outside employer. This course is offered only through Continuing Education. May be repeated up to 24 credit hours. Prereq., ECEN 2120, 2260, minimum GPA of 2.85 required. Restricted to sophomore, junior and senior EEEN and ECEN majors.

Introduces basic (artificial) neural network architectures and learning rules. Emphasizes mathematical analysis of these networks, methods of training them, and application to practical problems such as pattern recognition, signal processing, and control systems. Shows how to construct a network of "Neurons" and train them to serve a useful function. Prereqs., APPM 2360 or MATH 3130, and CSCI 1300 or equivalent. Same as ECEN 5120.

Hands-on laboratory experience utilizing teams in the systematic proposal, design, integration, and testing of an electronic/computer based system. The result will be the prototype of a stand-alone analog/digital system. Must taken ECEN 4620 to complete the sequence. Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Electrical and Computering Engineering (ECEN), Electrical Engineering (EEEN) majors or Electrical/Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering Concurrent Degree majors only. Prereqs., ECEN 2260, 2270, 3350, 3360 and 3810. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Electrical and Computering Engineering (ECEN), Electrical Engineering (EEEN) majors or Electrical/Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering Concurrent Degree majors only.

Hands-on laboratory experience for teams in the systematic proposal, design, build integration, test, and documentation of an electronic/computer based system. The result will be a reliably operating, stand-alone analog/digital system, with publication quality technical documentation. Prereq., ECEN 4610. Prerequisites: Restricted to Electrical and Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering majors only.

Offers an opportunity for seniors to do independent, creative work. Numbered ECEN 4840-4849. Prereq., instructor consent.

Examines the electrical grid, including conventional generation, transmission/ distribution, and new renewable generation technologies. Issues including grid stability, the increase in variable generation on the grid, and how the electrical grid will change in the future will be addressed. Intended for students with an engineering background from outside electrical engineering who desire an introduction to the power grid. Prerequisites: Excludes graduate students in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Concurrent degree plans.

Same as ECEN 4120.
