ENGR/CSEE 4620: Biomedical Imaging
|
Summary:
Starting with Conrad Wilhelm Rötgens discovery of the X-rays, medical diagnosis
was revolutionized by non-invasive imaging techniques. This class will
present modern imaging modalities: X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound imaging. In the first part,
the physical principles and instrumentation will be covered. The second
part will provide examples of images, and cover the four fundamental
steps of image processing: Image enhancement, segmentation, quantification,
and visualization.
Class schedule Fall 2008: Tue/Thu 5:00 - 6:15 pm, 316 Driftmier

ENGR 4220: Feedback Control Systems
|
Summary:
Feedback control systems are fundamental to many engineering projects. Whether you
simply want to keep a room at constant temperature, or whether you want to precisely
position a robot's arm - the ability to understand and design feedback controls is a
key skill. In this class, we will learn how do model processes and systems. We will
describe these systems with differential equations and with the Laplace and Z
transform. We will cover what control means. A major focus of this class lies
on stability criteria. We will use computer simulations and hands-on projects to
implement feedback control systems.
