This graduate course provides an introduction to the new area of Security Engineering, and provides examples drawn from recent research at UMASS and elsewhere. Security Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field combining technical aspects of Applied Cryptography, Computer Engineering, and Networking as well as issues from Psychology, Sociology, Policy and Economics. Several guest lectures will be presented by experts in these disciplines.

With lab. Semiconductor instructional processing laboratory (SIPL) and lectures. Principles and practice of modern microelectronic silicon device processing. Theory and practice of basic processing technology including photo-lithography, oxidation, diffusion, thin film deposition, ion implantation, packaging, yield, and process integration. State-of-the-art laboratory fabrication of working microelectronic devices and process simulation techniques. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 344.

This course will introduce students to the notion of waves through the context of transmission lines and electromagnetic propagation in simple unbounded media, and also introduce the theory of electromagnetism and electromagnetic fields and waves and their interaction with simple media and structures. The course includes the following topics: Transmission lines modeled as distributed circuits; introduction to one dimensional waves and the wave equation; wave velocity. Time-harmonic representation of waves and Helmholtz equation; wavelength and wavenumber.

Theory and techniques used in the design of modern microwave and millimeter wave active circuits. Emphasis on amplifier and oscillator circuits using devices such as FETs, HEMTs, HBTs and optoelectronic devices. Modern reference material used as much as possible. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 585.

This course is part of the ECE department's DP123 initiative: Design Projects for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year ECE Students. It enables ECE students to design and build hardware and software systems before the senior design project (SDP). Most of the projects are team-based. The projects are guided from concept to final design by the course instructors as well as by ECE seniors acting as project mentors (enrolled in E&C-ENG 497DP). DP123 projects are built in M5, the academic makerspace for ECE undergraduates.
