Courses

Credit and subject matter to be arranged. Numbered ECEN 4001-4049. Department enforced prerequisites will vary.

Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) College of Engineering majors only.
Effects of electric and magnetic fields on biological systems are described with applications to therapy and safety. The complexity of biological systems is described to provide a better understanding of the distribution of fields inside the body. Risk analysis is also introduced. Same as ECEN 5341. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ECEN 3400 and ECEN 3810 or APPM 3570 or MATH 4510 (all minimum grade D-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
Explores bioelectric and metabolic signals generated by the nervous system from two standpoints: 1) their biophysical genesis and role in neural integration and 2) neurotechnologies such as electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, deep brain stimulation, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Same as ECEN 5811 and ASEN 4216. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 2260 or ECEN 3030 or ASEN 3300 (minimum grade D-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
A biophysical exploration of human physiology from the standpoints of control systems and neural information processing. Topics include: neural control of movement and cardiovascular performance, tissue growth and repair, carcinogenesis, and physiological responses to microgravity. Same as ECEN 5821 and ASEN 4426/5426. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 2260 or ECEN 3030 or ASEN 3300 (minimum grade D-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
Provides background for the design of artificially intelligent systems based upon our present knowledgeof the human brain. Includes similarities and differences between the brain and computers, robots, and common computer models of brain and mind. Emphasizes the neuron as an information processor, and organization of natural as well as synthetic neural networks. Same as ECEN 5831, ASEN 4436/5436. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 2260 or ECEN 3030 (minimum grade D-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students in Electrical Engineering (EEEN) or Electrical/Computer Engineering (ECEN) or Electrical Engineering Concurrent or Electrical/Computer Engineering Concurrent Degree students only.
