Students enrolled in this course participate in a pre-approved internship or cooperative education program with an employer that allows them to explore the relationship between theory and practice and demonstrate evidence of significant learning (e.g., academic assignments and employer/sponsor evaluations). Credits may apply towards BS or BA degree program in CEAS, please check with the department for specifics (even if student has multiple enrollments in this course and/or COEN 4950). Students should contact the CEAS Extracurricular Programs Manager for more information. Minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA is required.
ECEN 1100 - Exploring ECE
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Fall 2019
Introduces students to areas of emphasis with the ECE department through seminars presented by faculty and outside speakers. Emphasizes career opportunities, professional ethics and practices, history of the profession, and resources for academic success. Several sessions promote team building and problem solving, and provide opportunities for first year students to meet their classmates.
ECEN 1400 - Introduction to Digital and Analog Electronics
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2020 / Fall 2020 / Spring 2021
This course introduces students to electrical and computer engineering centered around creative projects in a team based setting. Through the design and implementation of functional engineering systems, students gain an understanding of the engineering design process, using real-world design tools such as prototyping, computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, laser cutting, printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and testing. The projects-based curriculum provides students with a basis in the fundamentals of analog and digital electronics with an emphasis of developing student�s understanding of how the electronics and software operate within an interdisciplinary context. Students gain hands-on experience with the creation of systems using sensors, actuators, programming microcontrollers, prototyping circuits using breadboards, and designing systems. No prior experience or knowledge of electronics or software is required. Degree credit not granted for this course and ASTR 2500, GEEN 1400, ASEN 1400 and ASEN 1403.

Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2019 / Spring 2020 / Fall 2020 / Spring 2021 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2024 / Fall 2024
Introduces embedded systems and key computer architecture concepts through a variety of projects involving programming a microcontroller in C. Provides students hands-on projects that combine the knowledge gained in their digital and analog coursework in order to engineer hardware, firmware and application software design solutions. Includes a weekly lecture and two weekly laboratory sessions.
ECEN 3730 - Practical Printed Circuit Board Design and Manufacture
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
This course prepares students with all skills needed to convert a back-of-the-napkin circuit sketch into a working widget with first time success. Students will master the seven steps in every board project: planning, selecting components, schematic entry, layout, assembly, bring up and debug, and documentation. This process will be exercised with three different board design projects with increasing challenge. A commercial EDA tool widely used in the electronics industry will be used for all projects. Previously offered as a special topics course. Degree credit not granted for this course and ECEN 4720 or ECEN 5720 or ECEN 5730. Formerly ECEN 4730.
