Traditionally, these topics are spread out over many physics/chemistry/engineering courses that take many semesters to cover. The main goal of this course is to condense the essential concepts into a one-semester course that is accessible to both senior-level undergraduate and junior-level graduate students. This course will be accessible to students with diverse backgrounds in electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and mathematics.

The goal is to predict the user's future movement, influence their choice of direction or path, and maximize an objective such as rewards or task completion efficiency. Students will work in teams to complete the task, culminating in a report and presentation. The course is structured as a competition, with a scoring criteria provided as a design specification.

The course material focuses on bottom-up design of digital integrated circuits, starting from CMOS transistors, CMOS inverters, combinational circuits and sequential logic designs. Important design aspect of digital integrated circuits such as propagation delay, noise margins and power dissipation are covered in the class, as well as design challenges in sub-micron technology are addressed. The students design combinational and sequential circuits at various levels of abstraction using state-of-the-art CAD environment provided by Cadence Design Systems. The goal of the class is to design a complete IC chip in 0.5 micron technology that will be fabricated by a semiconductor foundry. Prerequisites: CSE 260M and ESE 232.

E35 ESE 4971 Honors Thesis Research 4.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This is the premier research experience for students in ESE, offering a challenging but rewarding opportunity for committed students to work at the cutting edge of engineering research. This is a mentored experience and requires the agreement of an ESE faculty member to serve in a mentorship role. To register for this course, students must obtain the nomination of two faculty members, including their proposed mentor. Nomination must reflect strong academic preparation, interest in research and ability to manage time and work independently. During this course, students will work within their mentor's research group or laboratory to pursue one or more specific research aims. Research is expected to result in a podium presentation and a thesis document that will be archived. Students completing honors thesis will participate in a departmental recognition event.

E35 ESE 498 Electrical Engineering Capstone Design Projects 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Capstone design project supervised by the course instructor. The project must use the theory, techniques, and concepts of the student's major: electrical engineering or systems science & engineering. The solution of a real technological or societal problem is carried through completely, starting from the stage of initial specification, proceeding with the application of engineering methods, and terminating with an actual solution. Collaboration with a client, typically either an engineer or supervisor from local industry or a professor or researcher in university laboratories, is encouraged. A proposal, an interim progress update, and a final report are required, each in the forms of a written document and oral presentation, as well as a Web page on the project. Weekly progress reports and meetings with the instructor are also required. Prerequisite: ESE senior standing and instructor's consent.
