MAJOR COURSES THAT I HAVE TAKEN:-
ECE 210 - Circuit Analysis
The basic course for Circuit analysis for EE and CE majors. Learning Ohms law of current, voltage and Resistance.
Note: - ECE 210 has been taken in Sunway College, Malaysia and transfered over here as credit.
ECE 250 - Digital Logic
Provides the foundation to digital design and logic circuits. This course is 4 credit hours that came with a lab. ECE 250 is the first course that allows you to have hands on experience in dealing with electrical and electronic components. Instructor for this course in Fall 2001 was Dr. Dean Johnson.
ECE 221 - Introduction to Microelectronics
This course is an advancement from PHYS 207/208 about electrical circuits and calculations. It covers a wide range in circuit analysis and some PSPICE usage for drawing circuits. This class was taught by Dr. Johnson Asumadu in Winter 2002.
ECE 251 - Introduction to Microprocessors
A basic course on assembly language( machine code ) using the TASM compiler. Also a 4 credit hour course heavily involving the computer. Professor was Dr. Massood Zandi Atashbar in Winter 2002.
ECE 310 - Network Analysis
Network Analysis emphasizes on Laplace and Fourier transform. Exploring the use of (s) and (jw) domain to solve circuit problems. Other things learnt was convolution which involves signal movements and bode plots. Instructor then was Dr. Ikhlas Abdel-Qader. Taken in Fall 2001
ECE 371 - Control Systems
Modern control system comes in handy in later stages of this course especially for Engineering Design. Dr. Bradley Bazuin lectured block diagrams and linear systems. Focusing on transfer functions with the aid of Matlab software. ECE 371 was taken in Fall 2002
ECE 350 - Digital Electronics
Currently enrolled in this course under the guidance of Professor Grantner.In this class I will learn on using the Mentor software to develop Microprocessors. Includes a lab which makes it a 4 credit hour course.
ECE 351 - Engineering of Real Time System
In short, we used Microsoft Visual Basic to do our programs involving real time systems. Professor Ted Sarma thought us how to generate moving signals in runtime mode. A course taken in Fall 2002 as well.
ECE 357 - Computer Architecture
About the most interesting course from my point of view. This course exposes me to real computer architecture of processors, random access memories and the operating system. Understanding in detail of how the architecture of the computer works as a system. This course instructor is Dr. Bazuin and taken in Spring 2003.
ECE 355 - Digital Design
Another Dr. Grantner class. This was the first taste of hardcore circuit design that I was enrolled in Fall 2003. We have projects on circuits involving the use of the Xilinx chip and software. Mainly lighting up LEDs and wiring them up to various components. An advance step after ECE 250.
ECE 380 - Probabilistic Methods in Signal System Analysis
Statistics and probability is the 2 things that come into my mind when I talk about ECE 380. It is basically a full math class rather then engineering. The engineering substance only come in close to the end of the course when circuits are involved. Thus, transfer functions and fourier transforms have been mentioned again. Taught by Dr. Frank Severance and taken in Fall 2002
ECE 451 - Microcontroller Applications
The most challenging course to take during a compressed semester like Summer 1 2003. Here, Dr. Janos Grantner gave us exposure on using the HC12 Motorola microcontroller; very similar to what the industry is using. There are plenty of labs to endure with the aid of the ICC12 compiler.
ECE 481 - Electrical / Computer Engineering Design I
Under the guidance of Dr. Damon Miller, he has prepared us to face the uphill task of developing a senior design project. All requiring techinal terms and being very specific in our points. The 3 main design concepts that he stressed on was (i) design evolution, (ii) repeated analysis and (iii) synthesis. Completed in Fall 2003.
CS 206 - Introduction to Visual Basic
This course was part of the requirement to fulfill a CS minor apart from the Math minor all engineers are entitled of. Just a course on Visual Basic and how it is used as we explore its features compared to C++ / Java or even C. Instructor was Ms. Sandie Dolbee. A 2 credit hour course taken in Winter 2002.
CS 331 - Data Structures
I lose many hours of sleep in this course, and I am pretty sure many students who took this class will agree with me. Data Structures, demands so much of programming ability under Dr.Donna Kaminski. Taken in Winter 2002
CS 485 - Programming Languages
A course with an intention to show the various kind of programming languages out there in the open world. Comparing its features, pros and cons of each language. Taught by Dr. Ben Pinkowski
