This course covers the basics digital logic circuits and emphasizes on good understanding of basic concepts in modern digital system design. The course introduces computer aided design (CAD) tools including the use of hardware description language (HDL) for design entry. It also discusses the use of the latest available implementation technologies including CPLDs and FPGAs for mapping the design to modern technology. This course covers basic logic circuits, Boolean algebra, and implementation technology (from transistor to CPLDs and FPGAs). It also introduces logic functions optimization and implementation, number representation and arithmetic circuits, combinational circuits, synchronous and asynchronous sequential circuits as well as introduction to control unit data path and CPU operations. The Laboratory work requires the uses of CAD tools to design and simulate basic digital circuits. Implementation and testing of simple digital systems in LSI and CPLD will also be considered.

Engineering Design
|
|
|
This one term course has two objectives. (1) The lectures provide students with advice on design, project management, reliability, practical advice on software, circuits and components and the documentation of their work. The lectures are organized as a seminar series presented by the faculty lab coordinators and practicing engineering professionals. The seminar series' goal is to provide students with knowledge that will assist them with project design and implementation. (2) The laboratory component of the course provides students with an opportunity to select a project to be completed in the Winter semester course ELE 800 Design Project. Students search information, design and source components in consultation with the faculty lab coordinators who will supervise their projects in the Winter term. Project topics are provided from which students select a topic. Students are also encouraged to submit their own topics for approval.

Hardware/Software Codesign of Embed Sys
|
|
|
This course covers the basics of embedded system organization, hardware-software codesign, system on chip technologies and real-time systems. It provides the advance knowledge required for embedded system development, fault-tolerant techniques applicable to embedded systems and real-time scheduling. The students will be able to grasp the main principles of hardware-software co-design. Embedded system co-specification, partitioning, co-simulation and integration are the main phases of hardware software codesign that are thoroughly studied in the course. A specification language (e.g. SystemC) will be employed to present a unified view of embedded system design. Hardware-software codesign tools will be introduced for various applications and case studies. State of the art embedded system-partitioning techniques will be presented. (Formerly ELE 718.)

This course provides the student with a significant experience in self-directed learning. Project topics are provided from which the students select a topic. The topic selection information search, designs and component sourcing are completed as part of the Fall term course ELE 700 Engineering Design. The student individually or in a group, where the topic is a group project, will research the topic, design, implement and make operational a design of currency in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Professional guidance is provided by faculty on a weekly basis in the laboratory. The completed project must be demonstrated operational by the last week of the term. A final bound project report that conforms to professional guidelines is required. The students must demonstrate their working project at an Open House in May.
