Dr. Huapeng Wu |
| ELEC 8560-01 | Computer Networks: This course will cover concepts and protocols which enable heterogeneous computer networks to work with each other, including transport (TCP, UDP), network (IP, IPng), routing (RIP, OSPF), network management (SNMP, SNMPv2, RMON), and other important protocols like ARP, ICMP, DNS, BOOTP, DHCP and HTTP. Advanced topics like Mobile IP, real-time and reservation protocols (RTP, RSVP), IP multicast (IGMP, MBONE) and network security will also be examined. Emphasis will be on broad coverage, as well as hands-on programming experiences. Local area networks, performance of queueing, multiple access schemes, IEEE802 standards, wireless LANs and wireless personal area networks will also be covered. |

Dr. Shervin Erfani |
| ELEC 8900-30 (C/L MECH 8290-60) |
Special Topics: Adv. Energy Storage Systems This is a graduate level course designed to provide in depth knowledge in energy storage systems, particularly, bat-teries. This course will introduce important battery management problems, such as, battery fuel gauging, optimal charging, and cell balancing, and introduce engineering approaches to solve them. This course offers hands on ex-perience in battery management through programming examples supported by realistic data. |
