This course provides foundational knowledge of microwave engineering as applied to modern telecommunication systems. Students will learn the principles of high-frequency signal generation, transmission, and reception, with an emphasis on practical components such as antennas, waveguides, amplifiers, filters, mixers, and measurement techniques. The course connects theoretical concepts with real-world telecommunication applications, including radar, satellite communication, wireless networks, and emerging high-frequency technologies.
This course introduces the fundamental principles of electromagnetics, covering electric and magnetic fields, Maxwell’s equations, wave propagation, and electromagnetic interactions with materials. Students will explore how electromagnetic theory forms the foundation of modern electrical and communication technologies, including antennas, transmission lines, wireless systems, and sensing applications. Emphasis is placed on both theoretical understanding and practical relevance in real-world engineering problems.
This course introduces essential concepts and tools in project management and data handling for engineering and telecommunication environments. Students will learn how to plan, execute, monitor, and close projects effectively, while also understanding the fundamentals of data collection, organization, analysis, and reporting. The course emphasizes practical methodologies such as project scheduling, risk management, budgeting, teamwork, and the use of data to support decision-making in technical projects.
The Senior Design Project is a capstone course that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout their studies to a real engineering problem. Working individually or in teams, students will plan, design, implement, and evaluate a functional system or solution related to telecommunications, electronics, or related fields. The course emphasizes practical engineering design, innovation, teamwork, communication, and professional practice.
In this two-part course sequence, I guided students through the fundamental behaviors and characteristics of electronic devices. Starting with core theoretical concepts in Electronic Devices and advancing to hands-on experimentation, the curriculum enabled students to both understand and observe electronic devices in action. Through structured experiments, students performed measurements on items such as diodes, transistors, and other key components, then applied these findings to analyze and validate electronic circuit operations. This dual approach not only strengthened their grasp of electronic principles but also honed their practical lab skills—equipping them to design, measure, and interpret electronic circuits confidently.
In this comprehensive two-semester sequence, students deepened their understanding of how electronic circuits function at both fundamental and advanced levels. This subject introduced the principles of linear circuit analysis, exploring resistive, inductive, capacitive, and other elements. We examined time-domain and frequency-domain behaviors through transient and steady-state responses, and conducted practical laboratory work involving op-amp circuits, waveform measurements, and signal analysis.
In this course, I guided students through the principles behind the operation and design of both DC–DC and AC–DC converters. The curriculum began with the study of DC–DC converter topologies—including buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations—highlighting analysis techniques, continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, and design efficiency considerations. Students then transitioned to AC–DC conversion, exploring rectifiers such as uncontrolled, half-controlled, and fully controlled types, along with their design considerations, waveform characteristics, and control mechanisms. This combined theoretical and practical approach enabled learners to grasp the underlying physics of power conversion while gaining hands-on experience in analyzing, designing, and evaluating power electronic circuits.
In this course, I instructed students in the principles of electronic filter operation and design using lumped components. The curriculum covered the analysis and realization of low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop filters using configurations such as ladder networks, π (pi), and T topologies. Students learned how inductors and capacitors shape frequency responses, including the impact of transfer function order on roll-off characteristics.
