Introduces key concepts in biosensors and bioelectronics. The course starts from the basics of molecular and cellular biology, followed by discussions on important biomedical devices and system in electrical, optical, magnetic and mechanical domains. The class will focus on working principles, basic concepts, and important bio-EE applications. It has prerequisites on semiconductor devices and electronics.

This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts in network security and data privacy. Network security topics covered include principles of cryptography, secure protocols such as TLS, and firewalls. We will also cover privacy topics including Web privacy and privacy-preserving data analytics such as differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation.

This course introduces the students to the design of embedded systems with a focus in emerging cyber-physical systems and internet of things applications such as health care, connected vehicles, and augmented/virtual reality. This course presents the unique capabilities of embedded technologies, and takes a holistic approach to design end-to-end systems. These systems span various thrusts that cut across both horizontal and vertical architectural layers.

E&C ENG 499Y is Part 1 of the senior honors thesis or project in ECE, to be followed in the spring by Part 2 (E&C ENG 499T for thesis or ECE 499P for project). Individual student research is directly contracted with the faculty chairs who supervise the work. In addition, all 499Y students participate in a common thesis/project seminar that addresses research-related communication and other aspects of the research process in a seminar/workshop format.
