This course is a review of report writing, oral presentations, and job search techniques. It introduces planning, writing, and presenting a formal report and participating in meetings. Students will produce written reports on projects required in co-requisite courses and present oral briefings common in industry.

This introductory course to Wireless LANs focuses on the design, planning, implementation, operation, and troubleshooting of Wireless LANs. It includes a comprehensive overview of technologies, security, and design best practices with particular emphasis on hands on skills in the following areas - wireless LAN setup and troubleshooting, 802.11 (a, b, and g) technologies, products and solutions, radio technologies, WLAN applications and site surveys, resilient WLAN products, design, installation, configuration and troubleshooting, WLAN security, vendor interoperability strategies, and emerging wireless technologies.

This course starts discussing the characteristics of amplifiers with FETS and bipolar transistors. Special emphasis is then placed on feedback theory, linear and non-linear applications of operational amplifiers and specific analog devices in electronic applications such as function generators, timers and regulated power supplies, both linear & switched.

Living responsibly as a citizen requires an understanding of how society is shaped by technology, and how society makes choices about the type of technology it develops and uses. It also requires both an awareness of the values reflected in the choices we make as individuals and as a society, and the ability to discern the good and bad consequences of those choices. This course was designed to develop the students’ abilities to identify and analyze technological systems and the social contexts in which they are found. Through the use of historical examples and case studies, students are enabled to make responsible and sustainable choices on current issues for themselves.

The primary objective of this course is to develop a basic understanding of the generally accepted knowledge and practices of project management and to improve communication skills for use in the project management environment. Students will develop a working level competency in planning projects, scheduling, scope management, resource management, cost and duration estimating, and activity sequencing. In addition, students will learn how to apply core processes, tools, and techniques to develop a basic project plan in a team environment.

This capstone competency-demonstration course requires that students take this course in the final semester before anticipated graduation. The engineering project course requires students to demonstrate applications of academic learning by defining, planning, and completing an approved electrical engineering technology project. Projects may involve design, selection of components, testing, process development, feasibility study or problem analysis, and extrapolation of results in an electrical engineering technology context. A project list will be made available at the beginning of Semester 5. Students may select a project from the list or submit proposals for other types of electrical engineering projects for approval.
