Classroom Hours - Laboratory and/or Studio Hours – Course Credits: 3-0-3
EENG 641 Computer Architecture I 3
This course explores modem architectural design patterns and exposes the students to latest technologies used to build computing systems. Concepts presented in this course include but are not limited to pipelining, multicore processors, superscalar processors with in-order and out-of order execution, virtual machines, memory hierarchy, virtual memory, interconnection networking, storage and I/0 architectures, computer clustering and cloud computing. Students are introduced to performance evaluation techniques and learn how to use the results of such techniques in the design of computing systems. Equivalent to CSCI 641.

Classroom Hours - Laboratory and/or Studio Hours – Course Credits: 3-0-3
EENG 665 Linear Systems 3
This course will cover fundamental concepts in linear system theory such as matrix algebra, linear vector space, linear operator. Linearity, causality, and time invariance will be discussed. Input output and state space models will be presented. The concepts of controllability, observability, and stability of linear systems will be studied.

    Total: 12 Credits
 
Thesis Track Credits:
EENG 889 MS Thesis I1 3
Please view all course descriptions: http://www.nyit.edu/courses
EENG 891 MS Thesis II1 3
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: EENG 890

This is the second of a two-course sequence for master's thesis. Students will continue the research and experimentation started in the first course in the sequence. The course culminates in an oral defense of the thesis project in front of a thesis committee consisting of the student's thesis faculty advisor and other members. By the end of the semester, students will complete a publication-quality master's thesis to be archived in the NYIT library.
