Free The Digital Age Courses

Today's applications are increasingly mobile. Computers are no longer confined to desks and laps but instead live in our pockets and hands.

This course, taught by Owen Carmichael, assistant professor at UC Davis, deals with the techniques for automated extraction of high-level information from images generated by cameras, three-dimensional surface sensors, and medical devices.

Digital systems are an integral part of many areas of engineering and technology such as personal computers, digital signal processing, telecommunications, speech analysis and recognition, and control systems.

This course introduces the theory and the practice of engineering ethics using a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach.

Introduction to the operation, physics, and application of lasers. The course covers diffraction-limited optics, Gaussian beams, optical resonators, the interaction of radiation with matter, stimulated emission, rate equations, and laser design.

Feedback control is an important technique that is used in many modern electronic and electromechanical systems.

In a quest to understand how video games themselves are implemented, you'll explore the design of such childhood games as: Super Mario Bros., Pong, Flappy Bird, Breakout, Match 3, Legend of Zelda, Angry Birds, Pokémon, 3D Helicopter Game, Dreadhalls, and Portal.

The Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series brings nationally recognized individuals to UC Davis and the College of Engineering to discuss the latest engineering advancements.

Lectures from an Android class that I taught at Rose-Hulman.

Linear active circuit and system design. Topics include frequency response; use of Laplace transforms; design and stability of filters using operational amplifiers.
