Students will take units A and B, units A and C or units A and D. Unit A Object-oriented programming: characteristics, objects, classes, inheritance, reusibility, polymorphism and overloading. Virtual functions. Class libraries. Unit B An examination of various methods used in computer analysis of electromagnetic fields in design problems. These methods to include method of moments, finite elements, finite differences and Monte Carlo. Students will write their own analysis programs and use standad packages. Unit C Principles and characteristics of sensors for flow, partial pressures, temperature, volume. Data acquisition and amplication of transducer signals. Signal processing. Instrumentation design trends. Unit D 80386/486 microprocessor hardware and software system. Examples of CISC and RISC pocessors. Multiprocessor architectures. Microprocessor system design: transmission line characteristics, reliability, applications.
