Courses

Introduces students to fundamental concepts in autonomous, mobile robotics: mechanisms, locomotion, kinematics, control, perception and planning. The course consists of lectures and lab sessions that are geared toward developing a complex robot controller in a realistic, physics-based multi-robot simulator. Prereqs., CSCI 2270 and 2824. CSCI 3302 and ECEN 3303 are the same course.

Highlights the fundamentals of semiconductor materials and devices. Topics include the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors, the theory of Pn junctions, bipolar and field-effect transistors, and optoelectronic devices. Prereq., ECEN 3250. Prerequisites: Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.

Covers computer usage in system implementation, central processor capabilities, and managing concurrency. Includes computer architecture, instruction sets, programming, input/output, interrupts, block transfers, semaphores, shared procedures, multiple processors, and memory management. Prereq., ECEN 2350. Formerly ECEN 2120. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 27-180 credits (Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors) College of Engineering students only.

Electromagnetic fields are covered at an introductory level, starting with electrostatics and continuing with DC current, magnetostatics, time-varying magnetic fields, waves on transmission lines, Maxwell's equations and the basics of plane waves. The use of fields in inductors, capacitors, resistors, transformers, and energy and power concepts are studied. Prereqs., APPM 2350, PHYS 1110, and ECEN 2250. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) College of Engineering students only.

Covers reflected and transmitted plane waves in layered media, Poynting's theorem of electromagnetic power, two-conductor transmission line theory and practice, Smith chart usage and impedance matching, and elements of antenna theory. Prereq., ECEN 3400. Restricted to juniors/seniors. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Juniors or Seniors).

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.
