Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course ECEN 3400 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
    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, and optics. Credit not granted for this course and MATH 4510 or APPM 3570. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of APPM 2350 or MATH 2400 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.

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

    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. Department restriction, sophomore, junior and senior EEEN and ECEN majors with GPA of 2.85 or above. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ECEN 2260 and ECEN 3350 (all minimum grade D-).
    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. Same as ECEN 5120. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of APPM 2360 or MATH 3130 and ECEN 1310 or CSCI 1300(all minimum grade D-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
    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 take ECEN 4620 to complete the sequence. Must have completed all required Advanced Analog Core courses for major, except one course may be taken concurrently by petition. Prerequisites: Requires prereq courses of ECEN 2270 and 3000 (min grade D-). Restricted to Electrical and Computer Engr (ECEN), or Electrical Engr (EEEN) majors or Electrical/Computer Engr or Electrical Engr Concurrent Degree (C-EEEN or C-ECENEEN) 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. Department enforced prereqs., Advanced Analog Core courses. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 4610 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEN) or Electrical Engineering (EEEN) or ECEE concurrent (C-EEEN or C-ECENEEEN) majors only.

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

    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.
