(Fee: $640) Computer Engineering (EGCP) EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design –Fa, Sp 3 hours Introduction to digital logic design, number systems, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, computer simulation tools, combinational network design, flip flops, counters, state machines, and sequential networks. Circuits are designed in class and are built and evaluated in the laboratory. Two lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $100) EGCP-2120 Microcontrollers–Fa 3 hours Introduction to the fundamentals of microcontrollers and embedded systems, including microcontroller architecture, assembly and C programming, peripheral interfacing, design and data communications. Prerequisite: EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design; CS-1210 C++ Programming. (Fee: $100) EGCP-3010 Advanced Digital Logic Design –Sp 3 hours Advanced treatment of digital logical design techniques and practices with emphasis on rapid electronic prototyping and effective use of advanced computer-aided design tools; schematic, textual, and VHDL design entry; arithmetic circuits, advanced finite-state machines, and advanced controller implementations. Three lecture hours per week with periodic integrated laboratory; multiple projects and laboratory experiences including a class design contest usually involving a robot. Prerequisites: EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design; CS-1210 C++ Programming; junior status or permission of instructor. (Fee: $100) EGCP-3210 Computer Architecture –Sp 3 hours Introduction to computer architecture with an emphasis on hardware, RISC vs. CISC, pipeline and vector processing, I/O, and memory hierarchy including caches. Students design and construct a small microprocessor using a logic simulator and then write an assembler for their processor. Prerequisites: EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design; CS-1210 C++ Programming. EGCP-3920 Computer Engineering Internship 1–3 hours An opportunity for a computer engineering student to work closely with an industrial advisor. Specific attention is given to solving a particular problem(s) in that industry or firm. A faculty advisor assists in supervising and approving the internship, including assessing the number of credit hours. A final report (approximately seven pages per credit hour) describing the experience, including the problem and solution, is required. Must be arranged with a faculty sponsor and work supervisor before starting and cannot be used to satisfy elective credit requirements. Prerequisites: junior or senior engineering major status; faculty advisor’s permission. EGCP-3950 Topics in Computer Engineering –Fa, Sp 1–3 hours Selected topics in computer engineering at the 3000-level that will complement or extend existing 2000- and 3000-level courses or expose students to topics not taught in other courses; may be proposed by the engineering faculty or students. Prerequisite: instructor’s permission. EGCP-3980 1–3 hours Independent Study in Computer Engineering Opportunity to perform independent study or research in computer engineering and allied fields of application. A formal proposal for study must be approved by the faculty advisor before registering for this course. Up to three credit hours of engineering electives can be satisfied by an equivalent number of independent-study hours. Prerequisites: junior or senior engineering major status; faculty advisor’s permission. EGCP-3990 1–3 hours Project Design in Computer Engineering An elective course for students to get academic credit for extracurricular design work in computer engineering; project may be related to a design competition, ministry, industry, or personal interest. Cannot be used to satisfy engineering elective requirements. Prerequisite: instructor’s permission. EGCP-4210 Advanced Computer Architecture –Fa 3 hours Advanced study of computer architecture with an emphasis on performance, performance metrics, benchmarks, integer and floating point concepts, data-path and control, super-scalar processing and pipelining, memory hierarchy, I/O and peripherals, vector, array and parallel processors, and multiprocessors. Prerequisites: EGCP-3010 Advanced Digital Logic Design; EGCP- 3210 Computer Architecture.
