ECE 271-1 Intro to Random Processes Gonzalo Mateos Buckstein MW 4:50PM - 6:05PM
The goal of this course is to learn how to model, analyze and simulate stochastic systems, found at the core of a number of disciplines in engineering, for example communication systems, stock options pricing and machine learning. This course is divided into five thematic blocks: Introduction, Probability review, Markov chains, Continuous-time Markov chains, and Gaussian, Markov and stationary random processes. Prerequisites: ECE 242 or equivalent Location (MW 4:50PM - 6:05PM)
ECE 277-2 Computer Audition Zhiyao Duan TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM
Computer audition is the study of how to design a computational system that can analyze and process auditory scenes. Problems in this field include source separation (splitting audio mixtures into individual source tracks), pitch estimation (estimating the pitches played by each instrument), streaming (finding which sounds belong to a single event/source), source localization (finding where the sound comes from) and source identification (labeling a sound source). Prerequisites: ECE 246/446 or ECE 272/472 or other equivalent signal processing courses, and Matlab programming. Knowledge of machine learning techniques such as Markov models, support vector machines is also helpful, but not required. Location (TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM)
ECE 292-01 Computer Imaging & Graphics Yuhao Zhu WF 2:00PM - 3:15PM
We will first study the fundamental building blocks of visual computing, including human visual system, camera imaging, computer graphics, image/video compression, and display technologies. We will then explore application domains that build on top of these fundamental building blocks such as Augmented/Virtual Reality, computational photography, autonomous machines, and digital cultural heritage. The course will necessarily span many scientific and engineering domains such as visual neuroscience, cognition, optics, signal processing, and computer systems. Location (WF 2:00PM - 3:15PM)
ECE 348-1 Design Seminar Jack Mottley; Irving Barron Martinez T 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Students majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering will explore ideas for Design Projects, form Teams, and prepare a proposal for the Design Project to be started in the Fall semester and completed in the Spring semester. Proposal will include presentations and documentation discussing some or all of the following: definition of project requirements and product specifications; clarification and verification of end user requirements; subsystem definition and interfaces; generation of project and testing plans including Gantt charts; reliability analysis, product safety, compliance issues, manufacturability, reverse engineering a related device, cost, and documentation. In addition, we will examine case studies on ethical, social, economic and safety considerations that can arise in engineering practice. Occasional presentations by outside speakers. Prerequisite:Must have at least senior standing. Location (T 5:00PM - 7:00PM)
