The department participates in the university telecampus program which serves off-campus students within South Carolina. S Microelectronic processing, MOS and bipolar monolithic circuit fabrication, thick and thin film hybrid fabrication, applications to linear and digital circuits, fundamentals of device design. F, S Foundations of software design, reasoning about software, the calculus of programs, survey of formal specification techniques and design languages. System modeling and computer solutions are emphasized through class projects. Application varies each semester.
Extensive use is made of computer software tools in the design process.
Experimentation with various types of circuits is provided by laboratory projects. F Current robotics technology with emphasis on robots suitable for industrial applications that require locomotion and sophisticated sensors. Class design project will be coordinated to produce a working modular robot. F Analysis of microwave networks comprising transmission lines, waveguides, passive elements, interconnects and active solid state microwave circuits. Fabrication of typical circuits.
