Same as CHEN 5820. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of CHEN 3220 (minimum grade C-).
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. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 2260 or ECEN 3030 or ASEN 3300 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
Instructs students in the necessary elements of a business plan and how to prepare a complete well-written plan for an entrepreneurial business venture. Students work in interdisciplinary business-engineering five-person teams to create a business concept and take it through to business plan completion. Same as ESBM 4830. Requisites: Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) College of Engineering students only.
Covers the fundamentals of transistor-level analog integrated circuit design. Starting with motivations from application circuits, the course developes principles of dc biasing, device models, amplifier stages, frequency response analysis and feedback and compensation techniques for multi-stage operational amplifiers. Same as ECEN 5827. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 3250 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
