A graduate version of E&C-Eng 570 which includes additional readings from research papers on embedded operating systems concepts,

This course provides an introduction to software systems with emphasis on operating system design and implementation. A key aspect is computer architecture and system software interaction. Topics include: process management, threading, synchronization, deadlocks, scheduling, security, IO systems, and distributed systems. Prerequisites: E&C-ENG 232 and 242

Lecture, laboratory. Metrology fundamentals. Advanced microwave measurement techniques including error correction, de-embedding, and noise effects in amplifiers and oscillators. Prerequisites: familiarity with microwave CAD software, basic microwave theory.

This is the first semester of a two-semester project where a student works with a faculty adviser on a project. The project can be design, experimental, simulation, or theoretical. Although the overall project requires a proposal, a final report, and a final presentation, the first semester requires only a proposal and satisfactory progress toward final completion.

This course is the second part of a two semester project that is started in E&C-Eng 688F. The project can be design, experimental, simulation, or theoretical. The overall project grade is based on the project proposal, a final report, and a final presentation.

Students must have taken E&C-ENG 688F in order to enroll in this course.

Continuation of E&C-ENG 415. Design of small electronic system built, refined, tested, and demonstrated. Final prototype shown to meet initial specifications. Final design review. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 415.

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.
