Full Course Descriptions

EE 271-01 and EE 271-02

Monday nights at 6-9PM

If you want to get experience in C and C++ programming we have two EE271 3-hour lab sections offered Monday Nights from 6-9PM in winter 2020.

The first section is a C programming section.   We will use the ZYbook programming in C  https://www.zybooks.com/catalog/programming-in-c/

The second section is the C++ programming section.   We will use the ZYbook book programming in C++  https://www.zybooks.com/catalog/programming-c-plus-plus/

You can take these Labs for grade or Credit/No Credit. These labs are  limited to the first 30 people that sign up. This should be a moderate time investment lab to enhance your software skills in C or C++.   

EE 470/471 

Selected Advanced Topics (Intro to Computer Forensics)

Professor John Oliver will be teaching EE 470/471: Computer Forensics, Adversarial Thinking and Research this upcoming Winter 2020 Quarter. If you are interested in this special topics course, see the attached flyer here.

EE 541

Advanced Microwave Laboratory 

In this two unit laboratory we build an entire radar system. Raytheon is sponsoring all of the costs for the lab.    This is really a do-everything lab where you learn about

transmitters, receivers, antennas, signal processing techniques and software to make the radar system work.   The lab course is very electronics construction and system characterization intensive.  

We'll teach you how to use spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, processing algorithms and to adapt code written in Python or MatLab.  

Just email myself and Yvonne Lynch if you want a permission number for the lab course.   If you have taken EE228  I think you have the skills to take this class.    We offer this class every year so if you can't take

it winter 2020, you can take it winter 2021.

EE529  

Microwave Device Electronics

This is a class where we learn about advanced semiconductor device theory and it also includes a lab for the first time this year.     We use the text book by Neaman (Semiconductor Physics and devices; Basic Principles).

This course takes over from where EE306 leaves off in coverage in descriptions of semiconductor devices. You will really understand how transistors, diodes, optical devices and high frequency transistors operate after this course is done.   In the lab we will characterize high frequency diodes,  Heterostructure Bipolar Transistors and High Electron Mobility transistors.  After characterizing these devices, we will model them using the Keysight

Advanced Design System Software.  Finally we will build some example circuit applications including p-i-n diode rf switches,  low noise and high power amplifiers in the above 1 GHz frequency bands and sub-systems.   If you are interested in this class send Yvonne Lynch an myself an email so we can send you a permission number.   If you have taken EE306, you have the skills to be successful in this lecture and lab course.  This course is offered in winter 2020 and then again

in winter 2022.

EE 530 

Fourier Optics

When the light does not traveling straight any more, how are you going to handle it?

Fourier optics is the only tool to explain this. It is variedly used in imaging, diffraction, optical data processing, holography and optical communication, and it is one of the basic theories in optical field. Fourier optics is the study of classical optics using Fourier transforms, in which the wave is regarded as a superposition of plane waves that are not related to any identifiable sources; instead they are the natural modes of the propagation medium itself.

In the class, we will go through the basic theory, and also work on term projects. This is a lecture and project combined the graduate class. We will design and analysis of optical systems using linear communication theory, including Fourier analysis .4 unit seminars.

EE 531

Advanced VSLI Designs

Advanced Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) design using state-of-the-art software. Advanced topics in digital, analog and mixed signal circuit design to enable a quarter-long design project culminating in a tapeout-ready integrated circuit design. 3 lectures, 1 laboratory. Prerequisite: CPE 441/EE 431. Crosslisted as CPE 541/EE 531.
