This is the first in a two-course sequence that prepares undergraduate ECE students to undertake the ECE Senior Design Project. Students will gain exposure to the engineering system design process, and they will practice that process by designing and by implementing a complete embedded sense/response system built around the Arduino Uno 8-bit microcontroller. Students will receive an electronics kit and a project specification at the beginning of the course, and they will produce a set of design process documents and test results culminating in a working system.

An introductory course on quantum computing covers the "classical" quantum algorithms developed by Peter Shor (Integer factorization), Grover (database search), and so on. In this seminar we will cover recent algorithms proposed for optimization, solving graph problems such as matching, machine and online learning, and for generating and distributing entanglement across networks. All students are required to present papers. This suffices to receive one credit. Students willing to do a project can take the course for three credits.

This undergraduate seminar examines key historical events, issues, and people in the nineteenth-century United States. Readings will cover a wide range of topics, including presidential politics and the two-party system; slavery and abolition; citizenship and suffrage; the Second Great Awakening and social reform movements; Indian Removal; westward expansion and the U.S.-Mexico War; the Civil War and Reconstruction; and immigration, industrialization, and labor.

In this class, students will acquire hands-on experience in diverse aspects of the research process in any field of Biology, from familiarizing themselves with a research topic, generating interesting questions, designing experiments, acquiring technical skills, collecting and analyzing data, to writing and/or presenting their results. To inquire about enrollment, students should approach a Biological Sciences faculty member to identify mutual areas of interest.
