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.

Waveform coding, source coding and data compression. Pulse modulation systems: signal spaces, optimal receivers, probability of error. Baseband and bandpass data transmission. Introduction to channel coding.

The design of very-large-scale integrated circuits. Experience in VLSI design through team projects emphasizing issues involved in the design of an entire custom chip. CAD tools used in the design process, resulting in specification of circuitry suitable for fabrication.

This course will define qubits and qubit logical gates starting from fundamental quantum mechanics and quantum optics all the way up to circuit level programming of quantum algorithms run on actual quantum computers via the cloud. It is designed to introduce engineers to quantum hardware and quantum programming. Students should be familiar with vector notation of electromagnetic fields and waves, and very comfortable with linear algebra and programming in Python.

This 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.
