ADVANCED LABORATORY

MS&E 362

Experiments in the mechanical and electronic properties of matter in bulk and thin films; computer instrument control; and data analysis.

ME 368

Theory of modern instrumentation, the design and execution of experiments and the analysis of experimental data. Laboratory provides direct experience with concepts in the context of experimental design for hypothesis testing, for product evaluation and for control system design.

ECE 611

A focus on topics within the department of electrical and computer engineering that introduce students to the materials/techniques that will assist them in being successful graduate students. Faculty seminars spanning energy and power systems, applied physics, electromagnetic fields, plasmas, communications and signal processing, controls, photonics, solid state, and computers will be given. Additionally, students will participate in weekly group exercises to enhance their skills in engineering/technical communications, writing, ethics, and project management. Graded homework and a final project are assigned.

ECE 610

Survey of topics within the department of electrical and computer engineering that introduce students to the materials/techniques to assist them in being successful graduate students. Faculty seminars spanning energy and power systems, applied physics, electromagnetic fields, plasmas, communications and signal processing, controls, photonics, solid state, and computers will be given. Additionally, students will participate in weekly group exercises to enhance their skills in engineering/technical communications, writing, ethics, and project management.

ECE 317

A hands-on introduction to a variety of different sensor types. Labs incorporate implementation concerns involving interference, isolation, linearity, amplification, and grounding.
