At Carleton, I teach a combination of undergraduate and graduate students:

Undergraduate:

I’ve been giving the ELEC 3105 Basic EM and Power Engineering course (an introductory electromagnetics course) to third year students for a few years now. This course is heavy on theory and heavy on math. It is one of the most challenging courses in the Electronics curriculum.

The other undergraduate course I give regularly is ELEC 4707 Analog Integrated Circuits. This course leads students from simple MOSFET circuit building blocks, to integrated operational amplifiers, and then integrated filters. The course is a cornerstone integrated circuits course, and several students have used this course extensively in their fourth year projects and later graduate work.

Each year I also supervisor 2-8 students for their Capstone project. More information on that is found on my Capstone project blog.

Graduate:

My primary graduate level course is ELEC 5804 VLSI Design, which is an introductory VLSI design course. Students learn design techniques and tools. The course includes six laboratories that involve Cadence and Synopsys tools, and by the end of the course, students are able to generate layouts for complex IC designs.

Links to Blogs for these courses are found along the right hand side of this page. Depending on the time of year, the courses may be in session. If not, the blogs reflect the courses from previous sessions.
