This course fulfills the University's Junior Year Writing Requirement for students in the College of Engineering. Students will be introduced to traditional technical and scientific writing forms, including outlines, summaries, mechanical and technical descriptions, extended technical definitions, research reports, and proposals. Grammar review, oral presentations and on-line research are significant components of this course. Students will also investigate ethics in engineering practice and research.

This course is part of the DP123 initiative: Design Project for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Year ECE Students. It enables 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 designs 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.

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.

Introduction to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Probability with discrete and continuous systems. The eigenvalue problem, and other mathematical techniques useful for understanding quantum systems. Quantization in macroscopic systems using classical physics. Operators. Solving classic problems in one-dimension, including the free particle, the particle in a box, the harmonic oscillator, and the impulse (changing the dimensions of a box instantly). Time permitting, we will discuss transmission, reflection, interference, and tunneling.

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.
