| |   Graduate Standing - ENGR 691: Pattern Recognition
Credits: 3 (3 lecture hours and some project hours)
Lectures: Wed 2:00 –at ENGB 235
Description : This course will give an introduction to statistical pattern classification. The
fundamental background for the course is probability theory, especially for
selected topics on classification and clustering. The course is suitable for
students in engineering, mathematics, or computer science who have a basic
background in calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory. The students
should also have some interest in exploring the field of pattern recognition.
Prerequisites : Graduate Standing, or Instructor's permission
- ENGR 691/591: Intelligent Systems
Credits: 3 (3 lecture hours and some project hours)
Lectures: Tue/Thr 4:00 –at ENGB 235
Description : The first half of the course will give basic ideas in artificial intelligence from the perspective of building intelligent agents, which the authors in the textbook define as "anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon the environment through effectors.
The second half of the course will give an introduction into autonomous mobile robotic systems. History, motivation, challenges, applications, and practical aspects of robot development will be discussed. The student will work as part of a team to develop one or more autonomous robots to accomplish predefined tasks. The course will cover such topics as problem definition, sensing, actuation, control, mobility, power, and data processing.
Prerequisites : Graduate Standing, or Instructor's permission
- ENGR 555: Dynamic & Multivariable Control
Credits: 3 (3 lecture hours and some project hours)
Lectures: Tue/Thr 9:30-10:45am –at ENGB 235
Description : This course covers the use of state space methods to model analog and digital linear and nonlinear systems. Emphasis is placed on the student gaining mathematical modeling experience, performing sensitivity and stability analysis and designing compensators to meet systems specifications. Topics treated will include a review of root locus and frequency design methods, linear algebraic equations, state variable equations, state space design and digital control systems (principles and case studies). The students will use complex dynamic systems for analysis and design. The laboratory will consist of modeling and control demonstrations and experiments single-input/single-output and multivariable systems, analysis and simulation using matlab control toolbox and other control software.
Prerequisites : Graduate Standing, or MATH 301 Differential Equations, and MATH 310 Linear Algebra or the equivalent.
- ENGR 535: Digital Signal Processing
Credits: 3 (2 lecture hours and 2 lab hours)
Lectures: Tue/Thr 9:30-10:45am –at ENGB 235
Description : The course focuses on digital signal processing theory and algorithms, including sampling theorems, transform analysis and filter design techniques. Discrete-time signals and systems, and filter design techniques are treated. Several applications of DSP in telecommunications, image and video processing, and speech and audio processing are studied.
Prerequisites : Graduate Standing, or EGRE337 Signals and Systems II.
