  6. Recent BSEE Curriculum Changes • Programming requirements changed: • Previous: CS 121 Programming design (4 credits) and CS 122 Data Structures (4 credits) • New: CS 251 C Programming (3 credits) and EE 221 Numerical Computing (Matlab) (2 credits) • Probability course changed from Stat 443 to either of Stat 360 or Stat 443. • Special EE Tech. Elective (any one of 4) required. All four EE Tech. Electives include Probability application to address ABET concerns. • Two of remaining 4 Tech. Electives must be EE courses. Two others can be any among approved electives.

  7. EE/CptE Senior Design projects • Fall 2006, 8 team projects, all had industry sponsors • Spring 2007, 6 team projects, 4 had industry sponsors, 2 WSU sponsored • Sponsors: Digilent, Linear Technology, PNNL, Tacoma Power, Comtech AHA Corporation, SEL, NASA, ClearEdge Power Inc.

  8. EE/CptE Senior Design examples • Noise reduction and chaotic signals in aircraft communications, PNNL • Fault data retrieval for the GE D25, Tacoma Power • Solar powered diagnostic lab in Africa, WSU Engineers without borders • Network algorithm implementation for space exploration, NASA • Design of 6 kW power control system for fuel cells, ClearEdge Power Inc. • Emulation of Motorola MC68332 targeting an FPGA using VHDL, SEL
