Catalog Copy
ENER 5000 Special Topics (1-4) Cross-listed as ENER 4000. Examination of specific new areas which are emerging in the various fields of engineering technology and/or construction management. The course builds upon the knowledge the students have gained from their engineering technology and/or construction management curriculum. May be repeated for credit.
ENER 5123 – Active Filters (3) Cross-listed as ELET 4123. The design, analysis, simulation and implementation of composite, cascaded and summation filters. Topics include: bilinear transfer functions; cascade design with first-order circuits; biquad circuits; Butterworth lowpass circuits; Butterworth bandpass circuits; the Chebyshev response; sensitivity; frequency transformations; highpass and band-elimination filters
ENER 5152 – Digital Signal Processing (3) Cross-listed as ELET 4152. Discrete-time signals; discrete-time systems; Linear constant-coefficient difference equations; Periodic sampling; reconstruction from samples; changing the sampling rate; the z-transform; z-transform properties; transform analysis of linear time-invariant systems; digital filter design techniques; discrete Fourier Transform and the FFT algorithm.
Degree Requirements
The program leading to the Master of Science degree in Applied Energy and Electromechanical Systems is a 30 credit-hour program. The program consists of a 15-credit hour common core, a 6-credit hour elective core in either applied energy or electromechanical systems, and a capstone experience including either a sequence of 9-credit hours of major electives or a specified 3-hour research and analytical methods course in conjunction with a formal 6-credit hour graduate research thesis. At least 15 credit hours must be in courses numbered 6000 or above. The 30- credit hour degree program is outlined below:
