This course forms an introduction to basic electromagnetic principles upon which Electrical Engineering is based. The laws underlying the theory are presented in integral and differential form. A classical development of electrostatics, steady state current, and magnetostatics will lead to Maxwell's equations. The theory developed is applied to calculating circuit parameters such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance for any electronic or magnetic structure. |

This course deals with digital control systems analysis and design aspects. Techniques for analyzing the performance of sampled data systems are introduced. Emphasis is on the use of the Z-transform in evaluating system performance indicators including its stability. Tools introduced include frequency response methods, and the root locus. Practical examples involving design of controllers for digital control systems to achieve desired response are discussed. |

This course introduces the basics of filtering and analysis of discrete time signals and systems. An overview of the sampling theorem is followed by a discussion of the discrete Fourier transform and the z-transform. The analysis of discrete time signals is introduced, and the design and synthesis of digital filters is covered. Contemporary signal processing hardware and design software is introduced. |

This course includes an introduction to: Boolean algebra, encoders, decoders, shift registers, asynchronous and synchronous counters, together with timing considerations. Design of asynchronous circuits, synchronous sequential circuits, and finite state machines, is covered. Karnaugh mapping techniques and state tables and diagrams are taught. Programmable logic is introduced. Contemporary computer aided design and analysis software is used throughout the course. |

The theory of operation of MOS transistors is reviewed. Processing technologies such as diffusion, ion implantation, and etching are presented with an emphasis on CMOS circuit fabrication. Electrical and physical characteristics of circuits and clocking and I/O structures are studied. Subsystem design of PLA' s, adders, counters, ROM, and RAM will be examined. Extensive use of CAD tools will give the student hands-on experience with systems typical of those used in industry. |
