Relevant Course Work

UPPER LEVEL COURSES:

Electronics: Analysis of discrete and microelectronic circuits including analog and digital electronics. Understand the
characteristics of diodes, BJT, and MOSFET technology.
Automation: Use PLC, ladder logic, and automation system applications to complete various manufacturing tasks.
Communication Systems: Examined the behavior of analog systems and digital systems in the presence of noise. Studied
communication systems with modulation and demodulation.
Control Systems: Analysis of linear control systems using block diagrams, Bode plots, and root-locus plots.
VLSI: Studied the basics of digital VLSI technology including bipolar and MOS modeling for digital circuits. Learned to design and
layout standard cells as well as how to use these cells to produce complex circuits.
DESIGN PROJECTS
Junior Design: My team created an Interactive Ping Pong Table using LED lights, infrared sensors, Arduino Megas, and Raspberry
Pi computers. The end result enhanced user gaming experience.
Senior Design: My team is developing an RC Snowplow using an Arduino Mega and Raspberry Pi. The prototype will be designed
to modernize and eventually make snow remove an autonomous process.
