Teaching Experience:

1.     Integrated Circuits (NDSU ECE721): Purpose of this course is to provide basic foundation and understanding of the analysis and design of analog CMOS integrated circuits, which is in high demand for the students and engineers in todayÕs industry. The objective is to develop both a solid foundation and methods of analyzing circuits by inspection so that the students learn what approximations can be made in which circuits and how much error to expect in each approximation. In this class, you may also have an opportunity to send your design to MOSIS and get your design fabricated as a chip.

2.     VLSI Design (NDSU ECE423/623): Purpose of this course is to provide basic foundation and understanding of the analysis and design of digital integrated circuits, characteristics and applications of logic gates and regenerative logic circuits, which are in high demand for the students and engineers in todayÕs industry. The objective of this course is to (1) introduce transistors and fabrication process (2) introduce basic concepts in CMOS circuit design (3) provide hand-on experience with commercial CAD tool, Cadence (4) address design problems and solutions in VLSI design.

3.     Communication Circuits (NDSU ECE421/621): Purpose of this course is to provide basic foundation and understanding of the analysis and design of Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuits and systems, which are in high demand for the students and engineers in todayÕs industry. RF and wireless market has expanded to an unimaginable dimension. Cellular phones, cable modems, RF Identification (RFID) tags are rapidly penetrating all aspects of our daily lives. The objective of this course is to provide a systematic treatment of RF electronics with the necessary background knowledge from microwave and communication theory leading to the design of RF transceivers and circuits.

4.     Wireless IC Design (NDSU ECE722): Focused on wireless integrated circuit and systems design. Topics covered in the course are basic concepts of wireless communications and modulation schemes, designs of various circuit blocks such as low-noise-amplifier, power-amplifier, mixer, oscillator, receiver and system level design. The objective of this class is to expose the student to the development, application, and analysis of wireless RFIC design.

5.     Circuit Analysis II (Southern Polytechnic EE2302): The purpose of this course is for each student to learn and further explore the techniques of advanced circuit analysis. The concepts and analytical techniques gained in this course (e.g., transformers, Laplace and Fourier transformations, frequency response) will enable students to build an essential foundation towards ascertaining how to build useful electronic circuits and form the basis of many fields within electrical engineering, such as control theory, analog electronic circuits, signal processing. Future EE classes will continue to use the knowledge gained in this class.

6.     Signals and Systems (Southern Polytechnic EE3701): Purpose of this course is to provide basic foundation and understanding of signals and systems, which is an important discipline of electrical engineering at all stages. A thorough understanding of signals and systems is very essential and after this course students will be ready for proper understanding and application to the other parts of electrical engineering such as signal processing, communication systems and control systems.
