Under faculty supervision, students plan a project of at least one semester's duration, conduct the analysis or design and test, and report on the results. If this work is to be the basis for an undergraduate thesis, the course should be taken no later than the seventh semester. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Covers foundations of estimation theory and machine learning in a probabilistic modeling framework. Topics include frequentist and Bayesian estimation, analysis of estimators, linear regression, linear classification, graphical models, Markov models, sampling methods, and variational inference. Requires APMA 3100 or an equivalent course on Probability, familiarity with linear algebra, and Python programming.

Analyzes the basic laws of electromagnetic theory, beginning with static electric and magnetic fields, and concluding with dynamic E&M fields; plane wave propagation in various media; Maxwell's Laws in differential and integral form; electrical properties of matter; transmission lines, waveguides, and elementary antennas. Prerequisite: APMA 2130, ECE 2300, and ECE 2200 or equivalent.

Learn about and experiment with machine learning algorithms using Python. Applications include image classification, removing noise from images, and linear regression. Students will collect and interpret data, learn machine learning theory, build systems-level thinking skills required to strategize how to break the problem down into various functions, and to implement, test and document those functions. Prerequisite: CS 111X

Develops tools for analyzing signals and systems in continuous and discrete-time, for controls, communications, signal processing and machine learning. Primary concepts are the representation of signals and linear systems in the time domain (convolution, differential equations, state-space representation) and in the frequency domain (Fourier/Laplace analysis) including practical programming examples. Pre or Coreq: APMA 2130 AND Prerequisite (ECE 2300 or ECE 2501 Topic Applied Circuits (link 15599))

A third-level undergraduate course covering a topic not normally covered in the course offerings. The topic usually reflects new developments in the electrical and computer engineering field. Offering is based on student and faculty interests.

Quantum electronics, the study of light and matter interaction, has become the cornerstone in many areas of optical science and technology. This course reviews the principles of lasers then introduces the generalized nonlinear wave equations. This course will cover typical nonlinear effects and their applications in telecommunication, ultrafast laser, quantum computing/information and chemical/bio spectroscopy.  Prerequisite: ECE 3209.

This course explores the intricacies of AI hardware, including the current landscape and anticipating the necessary developments in response to AI's rapid growth and widespread integration across all computing tiers. Through this exploration, you will gain an understanding of both the existing technologies and the future challenges in AI hardware design and implementation. Prerequisites: ECE 2330 or CS 2130. 

A fourth-level undergraduate course covering a topic not normally covered in the course offerings. The topic usually reflects new developments in the electrical and computer engineering field. Offering is based on student and faculty interests.

Explores the statistical methods of analyzing communications systems: random signals and noise, statistical communication theory, and digital communications. Analysis of baseband and carrier transmission techniques; and design examples in satellite communications. Prerequisite: (APMA 3100 or MATH 3100) AND (ECE 3750 or ECE 2700)
