EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Clarkson University

EE360: Microprocessors

The class in 2003-2007 was based on Intel80x86 architecture. Assembly language was taught on a series of homeworks in which students had to program a computer game.

The class is being completely redesigned for the Spring 2008. Personal computer hardware has become too complex to cover in one-semester class and the programmer is separated from hardware by several levels of abstraction. To provide a hand–on experience in programming of real computer hardware the class will be moved to the Dragon-12+ single board computer based on Freescale HCS12 processors. Practical experience of working with the HCS12 will reinforce the theoretical concepts taught in class. 

2003-2008

EE363: Generic Programming and Data Structures

The class has been reworked both in 2005 and 2006. Curriculum in 2005 was focused on inner working of abstract data types from the Standard Template Library and their use in MFC-based Windows applications. Students had to program a series of small projects, each one incrementally building on another. In 2006, the coverage of the data types was extended and the class moved to .NET platform. Students had to learn particularities of combining managed and unmanaged code, and program a wider variety of applications. 

2005-2006

EE211: Sophomore EE lab

Two new laboratory experiments (Sequential circuits, DAC-ADC) were designed that are still in use.

2003

EE509: Fuzzy logic and applications (graduate)
A new graduate course for Clarkson University. Covers theoretical aspects of fuzzy logic and fuzzy logic application areas: fuzzy control, fuzzy pattern recognition, fuzzy decision making, evolving fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy systems. Students apply fuzzy logic theory in developing small example applications using SciLab and sciFLT toolbox.

2003-2007

EE562: Knowledge-based systems (graduate)

The class deals with classical logic, inexact and uncertain reasoning and expert systems. Students are expected to build a small expert system as an integral part of the course.

2004

PH634/CM890: Advances in nanobioscience (graduate)

The class is co-taught by multiple faculty members based on the cutting edge research. I present materials on application of intelligent system techniques to analysis of physiological signals.

2008

EE508: Introduction to Machine Learning

In this class students are presented with basic concepts and practical applications of machine learning in classification, regression and reinforced learning. Theoretical concepts are then applied to solution of practical engineering tasks.
