ECE 4180: Embedded Systems Design
Embedded Systems Design covers hardware and software design for higher-end embedded systems containing X86 and ARM based technology and other embedded devices that contain a 32-bit processor, memory, and an embedded operating system. A low-cost SoC embedded computer using an ARM processor with an RTOS and networking to build Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and a larger X86 system using Windows along with various other embedded devices are used for case studies, laboratory assignments, and a final team-based student design project.
The ECE Instructional Labs helps provides support in stocking components and procurement of parts for the final project. We also perform maintenance and repair of lab equipment. Students are also welcome to seek electronics help from us for their final project.
ECE 4430: Analog Integrated Circuits
Analysis and design of analog ICs using analytic techniques and CAD tools. Topics include amplifiers, current sources, output circuits and other analog building blocks.
The ECE Instructional Labs provides testing equipment and soldering help when the course requires project work.
ECE 4415: RF Engineering I
Radio frequency (RF) electronics concentrating on receiver components and architecture from 1 MHz to 1 GHz, including Smith charts, low noise amplifiers, and mixers.
The ECE Instructional Labs procures PCBs and provides students with components and soldering help for their antenna projects.
