ECE 598 class schedule data for spring 2010
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
53458	Discussion/ Recitation	AD1	9:00AM -9:50AM	F	143 Everitt Laboratory	Jones, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/10-05/05/10 Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Not intended for Engineering.
53450	Lecture-Discussion	AL6	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	106B6 Engineering Hall	Jones, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/10-05/05/10 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Principles of Signal Analysis. Prerequisites: Integral and differential calculus; introductory probability or statistics course; some familiarity with linear algebra; graduate standing in biological, physical, or social sciences. Credit will not be given to engineering students. An advanced introduction to signal analysis and processing methods for graduate students in the biological, physical, and social sciences. The course will develop a sophisticated understanding of signal analysis methods and their capabilities, weaknesses, and artifacts with an emphasis on their practical application. Significant hands-on processing and interpretation of real biological data using Matlab or Labview will be performed, thus requiring a graduate-level sophistication in a related application domain. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Not intended for Engineering.
50284	Lecture	GP	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	241 Everitt Laboratory	Popescu, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/10-05/05/10 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Modern Light Microscopy. Prerequisites: ECE 460 or instructor's approval. This course aims at introducing current research topics in modern light microscopy. Despite its almost 400 year long history, the field of optical microscopy is still very active. Over the past decade, light microscopy underwent much advancement due in part to improved laser sources, fluorophores, detectors, and micromechanical scanners and manipulators. Traditional dogmas have been challenged and today practical �diffraction-free� microscopy is a reality. After a brief review of Optics principles, the course will consist of two parts: i) traditional microscopy and ii) current, hot research topics in microscopy. The course is intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
53278	Lecture	SM	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	170 Everitt Laboratory	Mitra, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/10-05/05/10 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Modeling and Verification of Embedded Systems. Prerequisites: Recommended but not essential CS 373, ECE 486 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Students should understand basic concepts in logic and have some programming experience. Familiarity with automata theory will be useful. This course provides a rigorous introduction to modeling and verification techniques in the area of Embedded Systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on the real-time and distributed aspects of such systems. Topics covered include: formal models for real-time, distributed, and hybrid systems; model checking and deductive verification of invariance, safety, and stability properties; composition, abstraction, and hierarchical verification. Special attention is paid to software tools and engineering applications including real-time distributed systems, sensor networks, and autonomous vehicles. In the process we will encounter a large set of award winning papers and ideas. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
52821	Lecture	ZPL	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	252 Mechanical Engineering Bldg	Liang, Z	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/10-05/05/10 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, II. Prerequisites: ECE 480 required. The course covers advanced topics in MRI: quantum-mechanical treatment of the NMR phenomenon, advanced data acquisition schemes, advanced image reconstruction algorithms, and application examples including spectroscopic imaging, diffusion imaging, functional imaging and molecular imaging. The course is intended for advanced graduate students. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
