Algorithm development, syntax and semantics of the C programming language stressing computer systems concepts. Concepts of the machine model, procedural programming and program development including coding, debugging and testing of programs are covered. The use of libraries, header files and macros are covered. Engineering examples are used. Variables, operators, control, input/output, arrays, functions, pointers, and files are covered using engineering examples.

Computer system and program design issues, abstract data types, dynamic memory allocation, procedural and data structures using the C programming language. Concepts of the machine model, procedural programming and program development including coding, debugging, and testing of programs are covered. The following data structures are covered: linked lists, stacks, queues, binary trees and hash tables. Run time complexity and procedural abstractions such as recursive functions are discussed. Features of the C programming language such as multiple header files, libraries and input/output programming with files are covered using engineering examples.

Allows study into areas not included in the formal course listings.

Allows study into areas not included in the formal course listings.

Allows completion of a numbered course formally in the graduate program listing but not being offered as a scheduled class.

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature, intended to develop design techniques,research techniques, initiative, and independent inquiry. A written thesis must be completed in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School and the College of Engineering. Completion of the course requires a successful oral defense open to the public and a written thesis approved by the student's thesis committee unanimously and the ECE Graduate Program Director. Admission to the course is based on a formal thesis proposal endorsed by the student's graduate committee and submitted to the ECE Graduate Program Director.
