Crosslisted as CS and EGCP. Prerequisites: CS-3410 Algorithms; permission of instructor.. (Fee: $50) (even years) EGCP-4810 4 hours Computer Engineering Senior Design I –Fa Design and development of electronic products to meet specific requirements. Introduction to computer system design, power supply design, hardware-software co-design, software engineering, system performance trade-offs, electronic design tools, prototype methods, estimating and managing time and cost constraints, and project management. Student teams prepare a project proposal, design and prototype a microprocessor-based system or sub-system, use computerized design tools, submit weekly progress reports, and conduct design reviews. Three lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: EGEE-3210 Electronics I, CS-3410 Algorithms, CS-3310 Operating Systems, and Senior status in computer engineering Corequisite: EGCP-4210 Advanced Computer Architecture. (Fee: $100) EGCP-4820 4 hours Computer Engineering Senior Design II –Sp Continuation of EGCP-4810 Computer Engineering Senior Design I. Student teams will complete their capstone project, submit weekly progress reports, prepare a formal final report, and make a formal design review presentation. Prerequisite: EGCP- 4810 Computer Engineering Senior Design I. (Fee: $100) EGCP-4950 1–3 hours Advanced Topics in Computer Engineering Selected topics in computer engineering at the 4000-level that expand the depth of existing 3000- and 4000-level courses or expose the students to advanced concepts not taught in other courses. Topics may be proposed by the engineering faculty or students. Prerequisite: instructor’s permission. Electrical Engineering (EGEE) EGEE-2010 Circuits –Sp 5 hours Introduction to basic circuit analysis using Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s laws, independent and dependent sources, Thévenin and Norton equivalency and source transformations, transient responses in RC, RL, and RLC circuits, phasor analysis of RLC circuits, power in AC circuits, introduction to 3-phase circuits, mutual inductance, frequency response, Transforms, Laplace circuit analysis, Fourier Series, and introduction to transfer functions. Computer simulations and bread-board circuits are constructed and evaluated in the laboratory. Four lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week.
