ECEN 2250 - Introduction to Circuits and Electronics
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019
Introduces linear circuit analysis and design, including OP-Amps. Presents DC networks, including node and mesh analysis with controlled sources. Analysis of RL and RC circuits for both transient and sinusoidal steady-state responses using phasors. Recommended prerequisites: ECEN 1310 or CSCI 1300.
ECEN 2450 - Electronic and Semiconductor Device Laboratory
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2022 / Fall 2023
Explores the operation of electronic and semiconductor devices, including: resistors, transparent conductors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and light emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photodiodes, bipolar junction and field effect transistors, organic electrochemical transistors, and various sensor devices. Laboratories will involve device characterization and implementation into simple circuits, data analysis, and function fitting. Some of the laboratories will involve partial fabrication of the devices. Previously offered as a special topics course. Recommended prerequisite: PHYS 1140. Recommended restriction: sophomores or juniors; seniors cannot enroll in the course.
ECEN 3400 - Electromagnetic Fields and Waves
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018
Electromagnetic fields are covered at an introductory level, starting with electrostatics and continuing with DC current, magnetostatics, time-varying magnetic fields, waves on transmission lines, Maxwell's equations and the basics of plane waves. The use of fields in inductors, capacitors, resistors, transformers, and energy and power concepts are studied.
ECEN 3915 - Foundations of Quantum Engineering
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Introduces engineers to quantum theory. In this course you will learn how to describe many different physical systems (such as atoms, electrons, light, mechanical oscillators, and tops) mathematically. It also explores different notions of quantumness such as entanglement and non-contextuality. The foundations obtained in this course are important for further study of quantum hardware (sensors), communication, and computing. Recommended prerequisite: MATH 3430 or APPM 2360. Formerly ECEN 4915. Degree credit not granted for this course and ECEN 5915.
ECEN 4005 - Special Topics
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019 / Spring 2021
Examines a special topic in Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours.
ECEN 4395 - Organic Electronic Materials and Devices
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2024
Covers the materials and physics principles of organic electronic devices, including organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaics (OPVs), field effect transistors (OFETs), electrochemical transistors (OECTs), and bioelectronic and neuromorphic devices.
