 Prerequisites: Programming course in C++ and understanding of flight dynamics. Stepwise approach of building aerospace simulations while taking full advantage of the ANSI/ISO 98 C++ features: control statements, pointers, functions, classes, operator overloading, input/output streams, inheritance and virtual functions. Polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation will become alive as the student builds individual simulations for satellites, targets and cruise missiles and combines them into a multi-object engagement simulation. This experimental self-study course is based on a multi-media, interactive training CD divided into 16 labs. The student will study the training modules and carry out the assignments. Only one formal kick-off session will be held with the instructor. The GERC Computer Lab is available with the required software support of MS Visual C++ 6.0 and the MS Browser Explorer 6.0.

EEL 6935v Special Topics in Electrical Engineering: Analog Signal Processing
Biological sensory processing systems are used to motivate the development of analog circuit models of information processing in the brain. Analog models for the human cochlea, retina, neural circuits, and signal processing will be discussed in detail. Such hardware can also lead to economical commercial products since real-world signal processing systems must interface with the fundamentally analog world-there is much that can be done in the continuous-time analog realm before conversion to the digital domain. We also discuss anti-aliasing filters and A/D circuits necessary to interface these real-world analog signals to digital computers. Both discrete and analog VLSI techniques will be discussed.
