65856	Lecture	LG	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Gao, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Optical Design of Imaging Syst Section Info: Prerequisite: ECE 350 This course is a comprehensive introduction to the optical design of lenses and imaging systems. This course begins with a review of basic optics, including geometrical optics and Fourier optics. A discussion of how different system specifications influence the choice of design form, achievable performance, and cost will be presented. Aberration theory, stop shift theory, and induced aberrations are examined in detail. Factors that affect aberrations and the principles of aberration correction are discussed. Demonstrations of computer aided lens design are given accompanied by a discussion of optimization theory, variables and constraints, and local vs. global optimization. Techniques for improving an optical design are illustrated with easy-to-understand Zemax examples.
65611	Lecture	LV3	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Varshney, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Network Sci.: Dynamics & Flow Section Info: Prerequisites: ECE 210, ECE 313, or their equivalents. Programming in matlab and/or python. Programming in matlab and/or python.Network science studies connections and flows among interacting objects, and the dynamic evolution of these structures. This course will cover the mathematics of networks, drawing on an emerging set of principles and techniques that originate in engineering theory, physics, biology, and the social sciences. The goal is to equip students with conceptual tools for understanding complex network systems. Examples taken primarily from neuronal, knowledge, and infrastructure networks.

62440	Lecture	RC3	3:00PM -4:20PM	MW	Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Roy Choudhury, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Smartphone computing and Appli Section Info: Topic: Smartphone Computing and Applications. Prerequisities: One of ECE 391 (Comp. Sys. Eng.), ECE 241 (Sys. Programming), ECE 310 (Digital Signal Processing) or consent of instructor. This course will introduce cross-disciplinary ideas, techniques, and algorithms in mobile computing, with an emphasis on how they can be composed to build complete systems and applications on the platform of smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices such as glasses, watches, etc. Topics of interest include smartphone sensing, energy efficiency, indoor localization, context-awareness, gesture recognition, CPU-offloading, and data analytics. As an example, students will consider problems in indoor navigation, understand how “signal correlation” may be an effective technique to solve the problem, and later utilize the same technique for a different application, say health monitoring. The course will require students to learn a variety of these techniques and ways in which they can be inter-weaved with each other (through existing case studies). In the second half of the semester, students will use some of these techniques to work on an open-ended project that results in a functional mobile system.
