  • ECEA 5721 - Introduction to Power Switches
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Power Semiconductor devices that are commonly used in power electronic circuits. Starting with the circuit models of these devices, we will identify the requirements leading to low loss circuits and learn how these can be simulated and analyzed in basic switching circuits. Department Enforced Prerequisite: Undergraduate active circuit knowledge and first exposure to SPICE. Recommended prerequisite: ECEA 5797.
  • ECEA 5722 - High-Voltage p-n and Schottky Diodes
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Introducing the semiconductor physics background needed to understand the operation of high voltage p-n and Schottky diodes, the analysis of the electrostatic behavior of the diode, the diode current, and the circuit model for the diode. The course also includes a discussion of super junctions and high voltage termination structures. Department Enforced prerequisites: Knowledge of undergraduate physics including Ohm�s and Gauss�s law. Recommended prerequisites: ECEA 5797 and ECEA 5721.
  • ECEN 1500 - Sustainable Energy
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2024
    Explores how energy is generated and used in today's society. Through collaborative discussion and hands-on data collection, students will analyze the engineering challenges, fundamental limits, and potential solutions to meeting our energy needs sustainably. Students will learn to analyze numerical data, estimate orders of magnitude, and apply mathematical methods in their own lives and in the ongoing energy debate. Basic algebra required.
  • ECEN 3170 - Electromagnetic Energy Conversion 1
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2023 / Fall 2024
    Real and reactive power in single phase circuits, power triangle, balanced three-phase circuits, wye and delta connections, introduction to electromagnetic machines, transformers (single and three-phase) and their equivalent circuits, AC-machinery fundamentals, synchronous generator from a magnetic field point of view, synchronous motors and condensers, three-phase induction motors, DC machinery fundamentals, DC motors, single phase motors. Matlab/Simulink will be used.
  • ECEN 3320 - Semiconductor Devices
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2019
    Highlights the fundamentals of semiconductor materials and devices. Topics include the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors, the theory of Pn junctions, bipolar and field-effect transistors, and optoelectronic devices.
