Courses
| EECE 300 |
Molecules to Mechanisms Forces, scaling, thermal, fluidic, and mechanical properties relevant to the design of emerging devices and systems whose basic structures are at micrometer and nanometer scales. |
| EECE 301 |
Topics in Nanotechnology and Microsystems Guest lectures and preparatory theory will highlight emerging devices and systems. Restricted to students admitted to the Nanotechnology and Microsystems Option in the Electrical Engineering. Course Objectives By the end of the course it is expected that students will be able to identify current research, trends, and applications in nanotechnology and Microsystems and understand fundamental concepts associated with these. |
| EECE 356 |
Electronic Circuits II Analysis and design of electronic circuits; biasing of and small-signal models for transistors; frequency response of amplifiers; feedback and stability aspects of amplifier design; OP-AMPs; active filters; oscillators; IC specification and selection. Credit will only be given for one of EECE 356 or EECE 374. |
| EECE 369 |
