Signals, Systems, and Transforms (under construction)
This version of Rice University Elec 301 - Signals, Systems, and Transforms - is under active development in Fall 2003.
Principles of Object-Oriented Programming
An objects-first with design patterns introductory course
Introduction to Physical Electronics
An introduction to solid state device including field effect and bipolar transistors. Properties of transmission lines and propagating E&M waves.
Intro to Digital Signal Processing
The course provides an introduction to the concepts of digital signal processing (DSP). Some of the main topics covered include DSP systems, image restoration, z-transform, FIR filters, adaptive filters, wavelets, and filterbanks.
High-Speed and Embedded Systems Design (Under Construction)
This course involves the specification, design, and implementation of high-speed DSP and microcontroller-based systems, taking into account cost constraints, available technology, and other factors. In this course, the students will learn about the following topics: advanced C and assembly programming for embedded systems, high-speed PCB design theory, hardware/software interfacing, and approaches to designing practical hardware systems. A major software/hardware design project will be completed
Genefinding
Genefinding - the basic structure of the course attempts to answer the following questions: 1) What is genefinding? 2) Why do we care? 3) Why is it difficult? What is the challenge? 4) What's being done currently? What are the current methods? 5) How are we doing? Emphasis is placed heavily on computational methods for genefinding with discussion as to how the compliment experimental gene finding methods.
Finite Impulse Response
A course on FIR filter design.

Connexions course version of the Los Amigos Conservation Area website.
Storing and Retrieving from the course History of Information
This course explores the history of information and associated technologies, uncovering why we think of ours as 'the information age.' We will select moments in the evolution of production, recording, and storage from the earliest writing systems to the world of Short Message Service (SMS) and blogs. In every instance, we'll be concerned with both what and when and how and why, and we will keep returning to the question of technological determinism: how do technological developments affect socie

Bandits or Patriots?: Documents from Charlemagne Pralte
In 1910, an international consortium of banks refinanced Haiti's international debt and took control of the country's treasury. In 1914, the bank refused to issue gold payments to the Haitian government and asked the U.S. military to protect the gold reserves. On December 17, 1914, U.S. marines landed in Haiti and moved the gold to the bank's New York vaults. Eight months later, the marines again landed in Port au Prince, Haiti's capital, this time claiming the need to protect foreign lives and
Kate Richards O'Hare's Life as a Socialist Party Organizer
In her autobiographical essay, "How I Became a Socialist Agitator," which was first published in Socialist Woman in October 1908, Socialist Party organizer Kate Richards O'Hare credited her career as a "Socialist agitator" to her youthful exposure to poverty and "sordid suffering." As she explained in this essay, her disillusionment with the church and a talk by labor organizer "Mother"Jones further pushed her toward socialism.
