Currently Teaching

CPET-121
3 Credits
This is the first course in a two-course sequence in computational problem solving of engineering and scientific problems. The problems solved will stress the application of sequence, selection, repetitive, invocation operations, and arrays. The development of proper testing procedures to ensure computational accuracy will be stressed. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to analyze introductory engineering and scientific problems, design, code, test, and document procedural software solutions.
EEET-116
1 Credits
This laboratory develops skills and practice in the construction, measurement, and analysis of DC and introductory AC circuits. Standard laboratory equipment is introduced and utilized to measure resistance, voltage, and current in basic and relatively complex circuit configurations. Measurements are employed to demonstrate Ohm's Law, Kirchoff’s Voltage Law, Kirchoff’s Current Law, current division, and voltage division. Circuit simulation software is used to support calculations and establish a baseline for comparison. Students collaborate within teams during the laboratory experience.
TCET-601
3 Credits
This course provides students with the programming, scripting and problem-solving techniques required for other classes in the CNET MS curriculum and to provide the software skills that are required in today’s telecommunication industry. The class will be taught using a programming language that is commonly used in industry today such as Python. The course will cover the following material: Basic programming constructs, Programming best practices, Algorithmic complexity, Data abstraction, Sorting and searching algorithms, Problem solving techniques. Homework assignments will be based upon real-world examples from the telecommunications industry.
TCET-615
3 Credits
The course provides the student with a solid understanding of access, distribution and backbone network, architecture, equipment and technology related to a variety of service-provided networks and services critical to the operation of converged and IP networks. Passive Optical Networking, Hybrid Fiber Coax technology, multiplexing, modulation schemes, coding, signaling, and networking protocols used in convergence technologies for the delivery of information in a variety of packet and next-generation networks are covered in detail. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken CPET-515.
TCET-747
3 Credits
This hybrid course is a cross between an independent study and a seminar course. It provides MSTET students the opportunity to research and report on near term Next Generation Networks (NGN). The course consists of professor provided discussion on NGN followed by each student researching NGN types. Basically, a case study approach is utilized. Immediately after completing the research and written paper regarding one’s selected topic/case, each student will read each others and then present theirs to all other students in the class. As a result, every student will not only benefit from their own research of topics/cases but also be informed of other NGN by other students. Students should already have some understanding of how to perform research and must possess at least adequate writing skills.
TCET-790
3 Credits
This course continues research work started in TCET-788 Thesis Planning after completion of that initial research and documentation. The MSTET graduate thesis is a document that describes and presents the results of scholarly research in the field of telecommunications. The results of a MSTET graduate thesis provide new knowledge, processes, software or other assets that advance the state of the art of telecommunications, even in a modest way. (Department consent required)
TCET-797
3 Credits
The MSTET graduate project describes and presents the results of scholarly research in the field of telecommunications. The results of a MSTET graduate project provide new knowledge, processes, software, or other assets that advance the state of the art of telecommunications or organize or implement existing knowledge in a unique and useful way. Department permission is required.
