CNE 231 Signals and Systems
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisite: CNE 201

This module is designed to enable students to understand concepts in linear systems and
perform signal operations. It also introduces Laplace transform, convolution, system functions,
frequency response, Fourier series and Fourier transforms.

CNE 312 Electronic Engineering Design
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisite: CNE 202, CNE 211

This course covers transistor circuits analysis, multi-stage amplifier, feedback, differential
amplifiers and operational amplifiers. High frequency transistor models are also included.

CNE 322 Microprocessors and Microcontrollers
Credits: 4 (3,1,2) Prerequisite: CNE 221, CNE 211

This course introduces microprocessor architecture and microcomputer systems, including
memory and input/output interfacing. Topics include structured language programming, bus
architecture, bus cycle types, I/O systems, memory systems, interrupts, and other related
topics. Upon completion, students should be able to interpret, analyze, verify, and
troubleshoot fundamental microprocessor circuits and programs using appropriate techniques
and test equipment.

CNE 341 Electromagnetics Fundamentals
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisite: CNE 201, MATH 225

This module is designed to introduce the electromagnetic fields. Coulomb's law, Gauss's law,
electrical potential, dielectric materials capacitance, boundary value problems, Biot-Savart law,
Ampere's law, Lorentz force equation, magnetic materials, magnetic inductance, time varying
fields and Maxwell's equations.

CNE 342 Electromagnetic and Transmission Lines
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisite: CNE 341
This course covers Maxwell’s equations for time varying fields, Faraday’s law, plane wave

propagation, time-harmonic fields, propagation in lossless media, and wave reflection and
transmission at normal incidence. The bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetic is
done through the study of transmission lines and their lumped-element model, transmission
line input impedance, and power flow on lossless transmission line. This course provides the
students with an understanding of the basic principles of antennas and an overview of the
fundamental characteristics and parameters of antennas.

CNE 351 Communication Systems
Credits: 4 (3,1,2) Prerequisite: Math 223, CNE 211

This course focuses on continuous-wave modulation, which is the basic operation of analog
communication systems. It gives the student an insight and understanding of signals
classifications, noise, Fourier series, Fourier transform, spectrum analysis, and explores their
applications in the context of analog communication systems. We cover thoroughly the
