Reference: Depends on project
Prerequisites: Junior or Senior in Electrical
Engineering (Special requests from students in other desciplines
will be considered.)
Course Description:
This course is designed to give senior and junior level
electrical and computer engineering students an opportunity to
work closely with a faculty member. The topics covered are
arranged by an agreement between the faculty member and the
student on an individual basis.
Students and Projects
Student | Project Title | Description |
---|---|---|
Menq Pan | Java Educational Applet
Programming NASA Fellowship |
This project involved the design, coding and testing of a number of educational applets in JAVA describing lasers and photonics. |
Keith Nowicki | Java Educational Applet
Programming |
This project involves the design, coding and testing of a number of educational applets in JAVA describing lasers. |
Harry Gill | Java Educational Applet
Programming |
This project involves the design, coding and testing of a number of educational applets describing lasers. |
Christopher Striemer | Time-resolved Frequency
Upconversion NASA Fellowship |
This project is an educational experience for a student. There is no formal class that teaches the details of the technique of time-resolved frequency upconversion and its applications to the measurements of carrier lifetimes in semiconductors. Through this independent study project, we are analyzing the experiment and setting up the experiment that will continue to be used for many years in the future. |
Michael Albright | Data Acquisition and System
Control Software NASA Fellowship |
This project uses C++ within the Windows 95 environment to develop a data acquisition and control system for the femtosecond pump/probe experiment in the Applied Laser Laboratory in 119 Bonner Hall. As part of this project, computer interfacing through the IEEE bus, data I/O, and user interface issues must be addressed. |
Ross Padak | Data Acquisition and System Control Software of a Spectra Pro 150 Monochromator | This project uses C++ within the Windows 95 environment to develop a data acquisition and control system for the Spectro Pro 150 monochromator in the Applied Laser Laboratory in 119 Bonner Hall. This monochromator control is essential for measurements of linear transmission, and stark shifts in semiconductor heterostructure device structures. As part of this project, computer interfacing through the IEEE bus, data I/O, and user interface issues must be addressed. |
