A study in the evaluation of students with learning, cognitive, physical, and sensory disabilities for assistive technology devices and services. Students implement data-based assistive technology decisions for students with disabilities, locate assistive technologies through a variety of sources, and develop assistive technology implementation plans for individuals with disabilities.
Study of procedures for providing special Education and Rehabilitation professional services including consultation, technical assistance, continuing education programs, professional organization development, committee and advisory board involvement, professional writing and editing, leadership training, and funding proposal development.
Students will participate with other secondary education majors in a variety of disciplines in the reflective study of adolescent behavior, secondary school curriculum, school law, learning theory, learning styles, effective teaching and learning, instructional technology, working with special populations, cultural diversity in the schools, school context, and professional development. Students will spend time in the schools applying concepts. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits. Lecture, 3-9 hours; laboratory, 6-18 hours per week.
Residency credit for dissertation research after the qualifying examination. Students may register for this course in the semester of the qualifying examination. A minimum of two semesters are required as well as continuous enrollment (Fall and Spring) until the dissertation is completed and defended.
This course provides an introduction to the process and application of creative design and problem solving within science and engineering. Emphasis is placed on applications and case studies in the areas of electrical and computer engineering. Several laboratory-based engineering problems are sued to provide practical settings in which to apply and evaluate constrain - and product-focused strategies for creative design and problem solving. In addition to technical and aesthetic considerations, ethical and cultural influences on the creative process will also be discussed.
Elementary tTreatment of electronic circuits emphasizing laboratory work. Topics include A rs, circuits, filters, theory and operation of transistors and other semiconductor devices and a simple treatment of operational amplifiers. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours.tory,
The first semester of a two-semester capstone design sequence for senior students in electrical engineering with an emphasis on the engineering design processes. Topics important in product design and manufacturing are included, including considerations of economics, safety, and communication. Students are expected to formally propose a design project that includes a problem definition that incorporates engineering standards and realistic constraints. Students work in teams to develop and complete the designs. Lecture, two hours, laboratory, three hours per week.
An introduction to the basic signal processing operations in communications systems. Topics include frequency and time domain signal and system representation, random signals, modulation, sampling, pulse modulation, information theory.
Dynamics of electromechanical systems and rotating electrical machines. Applications of electro-magnetic theory to electrical machines. Certain special topics of current interest.
Study of analog RF electronics for wireless communications through a combination of course and laboratory work. Topics covered in the course include: modulation/demodulation, filters, RF transformers, mixers, transistor switches and amplifiers, class A, B, AB, C, D, E, and F amplifiers, quartz crystals, transmission lines, impedance inverters, acoustics, oscillators, audio circuitry, noise and inter-modulation, and antennas.
