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.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

MITRE's eCTF (embedded capture-the-flag) is an embedded security competition that puts participants through the experience of trying to create a secure system and then learning from their mistakes. The main target is a real physical embedded device, which opens the scope of the challenge to include physical/proximal access attacks. The eCTF is a two-phase competition with attack and defense components. In the first phase, competitors design and implement a secure system based on a set of challenge requirements. The second phase involves analyzing and attacking the other teams' designs.

Introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms for computer engineers. Approaches to specifying, validating, and carrying out performance analysis of, algorithms within a mathematical framework.

Continuation of E&C-ENG 333 with emphasis on time-varying fields, propagation of plane waves in unbounded media. Wave reflection and transmission at boundary between two media, wave polarization, geometrical optics concepts, images. Guided wave propagation in rectangular waveguides. Electromagnetic radiation, antennas, applications to communications and radar systems. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 333.

With the advent of low-cost embedded systems, ubiquitous computing will soon be a reality. These and other digital systems often require both hardware and software components and their co-design. This course focuses on rapid prototyping of embedded digital systems using novel System-on-Chip (SOC) FPGAs, softcore and hardcore microprocessors, memory elements, as well as sophisticated development tools for both software and hardware design.

This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts in computer networks, including their design and implementation. Topics covered include the Web and multimedia applications, transport protocols (providing reliability and congestion control), routing, and link access. Special attention is also paid to wireless networks, multimedia content delivery, and security. Homework assignments involve distributed systems, and written tasks. Lab assignments include socket programming and examining Internet traffic data captured through Wireshark.

Multi-stage amplifiers. Stability effects. Oscillators. Noise analysis in circuits. Power amplifiers. More advanced topics as time permits: Discrete time analog circuits, Comparators, D/A, A/D converters, Power control and regulation.
