A graduate version of E&C-Eng 558 which includes additional readings in VLSI architecture, CAD, and systems. A more ambitious design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-Eng course such as digital signal processing, control, computer architecture, or computer graphics. Prerequisites: E&C-ENG 212 and 221 or equivalent.

Fundamental quantum mechanical principles; basis for advanced courses in semiconductor electronics, microwave magnetics, quantum electronics, etc. Solutions of Schrodinger's equation pertinent for electrical engineers. Prerequisite: ECE 344 or equivalent.

Matrix analysis, state variables, state space techniques for continuous time systems, matrix fraction descriptions. Controllability, observability, realization theory. Feedback and observers. Stability analysis.
