COURSE/CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Created new course, ECE431 Smart Sensor Systems, with hand-on lab; first delivered S19 as ECE491.
Major update of ECE331 Microprocessors and Digital Systems. Adopted ARM Cortex M0 as the case study
controller; developed all new lecture material and labs to match this modern microcontroller.
Led efforts to create a Biomedical Engineering concentration for EE and CpE undergraduate students. The
concentration was established in 2009 and enables students to focus their electives to obtain a notification on
their transcript that they completed the concentration.
Introduced ECE491 (Special Topics) Biomedical Instruments, F07, now established as ECE445 and first taught
F08. Course introduces students to human physiology, sensors, and instrumentation circuits with a weekly lab
component to construct biomedical instruments using Labview, DAQ cards, and self-made op-amp circuits.
Introduced ECE 932 (Special Topics) Biomedical Microsystems, S08.
Introduced ECE491 (Special Topics) Integrated Circuits Testing Lab, offered F05 and F06. Introduces students to
the setup and use of benchtop and LabVIEW-based instruments for microelectronics testing.
Introduced an ECE 932 (Special Topics) course on Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits, S04.
Recreated ECE 418 as an Analog IC Design course (F04) covering modern topics of transistor-level analog design
using Cadence EDA tools. Developed a full set of PowerPoint notes for this new course format.
Supported the CHE 883 Multidisciplinary Bioprocessing Lab course, supervising a research project team and
providing a graduate student mentor from my lab. 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008.
Recreated ECE 410 (VLSI Design) to cover modern topics and use modern EDA tools. Developed web-based
course material for this course, including over 600 pages of PowerPoint lecture notes, and electronic documents
for design project description, lab tutorials and guides, and homework assignments and solutions.
Orchestrated modernization of VLSI-related courses by establishing use of industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence
and Synopsis) and creating tutorials for analog and digital IC design using Cadence software. This effort has
fostered significant improvements in several undergraduate and graduate courses, including implementation of
a team-oriented design project in ECE410 that now results in microprocessor datapath chips being fabricated
through the MOSIS Service. The lab materials created ECE410 are currently used in ECE418, ECE809,
ECE813, and ECE932, and have been requested by faculty at several universities across the country.
Served as Chair of the CpE/VLSI Faculty Group (2001-2003) and led efforts to modify the curriculum to produce
CpE and EE graduates who are well versed in VLSI design flow and use of standard EDA tools. This has
significantly increased the appeal of our students to major semiconductor companies.
