Embedded System Design covers the design and implementation of hardware and software for embedded computer systems. Topics include architectural support for embedded systems, power management, analog and digital I/O, real-time processing design constraints and the design of embedded systems using a real-time operating systems.
Introduction to the design and layout of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) Circuits for complex digital systems; fundamentals of the VLSI fabrication process; and introduction to VLSI testing and structured design for testability techniques.
Fundamentals of modern communication networking and telecommunications, data transmission, multiplexing, circuit switching networks, network topology routing and control, computer communication, packet switching networks, congestion control, frame relay, ATM switching networks, traffic and congestion control.
An advanced class in topics related to Very Large Scale Integration. Example topics are advanced simulation, yield impact, memory design, statistical analysis and data reduction.
For electrical engineers. A problem, approved by the chairperson of the department, provides an objective for study and research. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in electrical engineering such as biomedical instrumentation, digital filter design, active networks, advanced electrical devices, digital communications, display of electronics. May be repeated, but only three credits can be earned under the same title. Only nine credit hours may count toward degree requirements. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the EE 599 number.

The purpose of this course is to examine methods and systems from the perspectives of modeling, simulation, and control of manufacturing facilities. The emphasis will be primarily on techniques that can be used to model and evaluate performance of systems. Students are encouraged to think critically about available technologies, identify relative strengths and weaknesses, and analyze the technologies toward developing improved solutions to factory control and information management problems.
