Introduction to standard cell design of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) digital circuits using the VHDL hardware description language (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits Hardware Description Language). Emphasis on how to write VHDL that will map readily to hardware. Laboratory experiments using commercial grade computer-aided design (CAD) tools for VHDL based design, schematic based logic entry, logic and VHDL simulation, automatic placement and routing, timing analysis, and testing.

An introduction to digital system design and hardware engineering, with an emphasis on practical design techniques and circuit implementation.

This course is an advanced study of system analysis and design methods and techniques used by systems analysts to develop information systems. Object-oriented tools and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) will be used for describing object structure and behavior, and use cases will be used for modeling functional processes. Topics include rapid development concepts, application architecture and system design, transition from object-oriented analysis and models to components and services, graphical user interface design, web interface design, prototyping, and commercial software package integration. Emphasis is also placed on the use of an object-oriented CASE tool. This course surveys other important skills for the systems analyst, such as fact-finding (requirements discovery), communications, project management, and cost-benefit analysis.

Comprehensive introduction to information systems development. Topics include the systems analyst, the systems development life cycle, methodologies, development technology, systems planning, project management, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems support. Introduction to tools and techniques for systems development.

A study of relational database concepts. These concepts include data design, modeling, and normalization; the use of Structured Query Language (SQL) to define, manipulate, and test the database; programmatic access to a database and practical issues that database developers must handle.

This course introduces information systems development. Topics include types of information systems, system development, database management systems, and problem solving. Students will read/create UML, ERD, and data flow diagrams to model information system objects, data, processes, and logic. Labs emphasize modeling and SQL/QBE querying to prepare students for later systems, programming, and database classes. Given user requirements students will design, construct, and test a personal computer information system.

This course is an introduction to computer programming using the "C" language. The emphasis is on structured programming principles, and understanding the basic concepts that apply to engineering problems. Among topics covered in this course are: problem solving using top down design, using flowcharts to explain the program logic, selection structure, repetition structure, bitwise operations, arrays, pointers, strings, passing arguments, and sequential files.

Continues building on the foundation developed in ENGR 131. Students take a more in depth and holistic approach to integrating multiple disciplines perspectives while constructing innovative engineering solutions to open-ended problems. Extending skills in project management engineering fundamentals, oral and graphical communication, logical thinking, team work, and modern engineering tools (e.g., Excel and MATLAB).
