SIGNALS, INFORMATION, AND COMPUTATION

ECE 303

Emphasizes the implementation of DSP algorithms on a digital signal processor in "real-time." Many of the signal processing algorithms that were used inE C E 203will be reviewed in MATLAB and then will be implemented on a floating point signal processor in "real-time" using the C programming language. Explore many basic digital signal processing processes in real-time. Gain the ability to create and develop your own Digital Signal Processing projects for a modern digital signal precessor using an Integrated Development Environment. Lab hardware will be provided.

ECE 210

An introduction to electrical and electronic devices, circuits and systems including software and hardware focusing on a real-world project.

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 331

Introduction to probability, random variables, and random processes. Confidence intervals, introduction to experimental design and hypothesis testing. Statistical averages, correlation, and spectral analysis for wide sense stationary processes. Random signals and noise in linear systems.

ECE 436

Amplitude, frequency, pulse, and pulse-code modulation. Narrow-band noise representation and signal-to-noise ratios for various modulation schemes. Pulse shaping, timing recovery, carrier synchronization, and equalization. Sampling, quantization and coding.
