New Course Offering – Winter Quarter 2015: EE 371 Design of Digital Circuits and Systems

EE 371 Design of Digital Circuits and Systems (5 cr)
SLN 21021
Jim Peckol
WF 230-420
EEB 045

The execution of modern digital electronic systems designs presents challenges that demand new ways of thinking about such problems.  Building upon the fundamental concepts of electronic circuits and those developed in EE 271, the main objective of EE 371 is to provide students with a theoretical background to and practical experience with the tools, techniques, and methods for solving challenges related to signal integrity, the modeling complex systems using the Verilog hardware design language, managing power consumption in digital systems, and ensuring robust intra and inter system communication.  

We will work with the Altera DE1-SOC development board that utilizes the Cyclone V FPGA combined with a variety of peripheral devices, potentially including the embedded NIOS processor, as a target hardware platform.  The hardware side of the applications will be specified then designed, modeled, and tested using the Verilog HDL and the libraries and tools provided under the Quartus II development environment.  We will synthesize then download the tested modules onto the DE1-SOC board where they will be integrated into a complete working system. 

Upon completion of the class the student will have developed strong design skills for implementing complex digital logic systems in modern design languages onto FPGAs and similar programmable fabrics.

For this first offering, we're going to have to prioritize juniors initially, particularly those headed for EE 476-EE 477 next year.

UW Electrical Engineering Professional Master's Program Info Session

Whether you're already working as a bachelor's level electrical engineer or want to break into a new field, the UW Professional Master's Program (PMP) may be for you. The Electrical Engineering PMP offers a work-compatible Master's degree in electrical engineering and courses taught by UW Seattle's world class Electrical Engineering faculty. Our faculty's cutting edge research informs their teaching, allowing you to bring the latest ideas to bear in your career. The program typically takes 3 years to complete, however students have the option of enrolling full-time or part-time. The PMP leads to the same degree offered through the daytime program – the MSEE.

IEEE-HKN Lecture Series - November 4th

Title: “Lighting Up a Village”, by Prof. Henry Louie (Seattle U)

Where: EEB 037
When: Tues November 4th at 4:45pm

Abstract: Energy underwrites all human endeavors. Where energy is abundant, we find prosperous societies; where energy is scarce, we find lowered standards of living. Electricity is one of the most convenient carriers of energy, yet approximately 1.2 billion people do not have access to the electric grid. This form of energy poverty disproportionately afflicts the world’s most impoverished people—those living on one to two US Dollars per day. This presentation discusses the broad challenge of energy poverty, and how new technologies and innovative business strategies are being used to provide first time electricity access to villages around the world

Speaker Bio: Dr. Henry Louie received the B.S.E.E. degree from Kettering University, the M.S. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington in 2008. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seattle University. Dr. Louie is a founding member and current secretary of the IEEE PES Working Group on sustainable energy solutions for developing communities. He was the technical program co-chair of the 2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference. Since 2011, he has been the IEEE Power & Energy Society Vice President of Membership & Image. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

The next IEEE-HKN Lecture Series; Daniel Kirschen; Oct 28th; EEB 037; 4:45pm

Title: “Integrating Renewable Energy Sources in the Electricity Grid”, by Prof. Daniel Kirschen (University of Washington)

Where: EEB 037
When: Tues October 28th at 4:45pm

Abstract: This presentation will start by discussing the factors that drive the operation and the deployment of the electricity grid and spur the development of the concept of “smart grid”. We will then discuss the problems associated with the integration of renewable energy sources in the grid. The talk will close with a discussion of some current research topics in this area.

Speaker Bio: Daniel Kirschen is the Donald W. and Ruth Mary Close Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington. His research focuses on smart grids, the integration of renewable energy sources in the grid, power system economics and power system security. Prior to joining the University of Washington, he taught for 16 years at The University of Manchester (UK). Before becoming an academic, Daniel worked for Control Data and Siemens on the development of application software for utility control centers. He holds a PhD and MS from the University of Wisconsin and an Electro-Mechanical Engineering degree from the Free University of Brussels (Belgium).
