Programme des cours : UNIVERSITE DE STANFORD

1. Introductory Engineering Electromagnetics, EE42

Professor Olav Solgaard and Professor Jelena Vuckovic cover the topics of electrostatics,
magnetostatics, Maxwell's equations, one-dimensional wave equation, electromagnetic waves,
transmission lines, and one-dimensional resonators. Understand electricity and magnetism and
its essential role in modern electrical engineering devices and systems. Link to EE42 in Explore
Courses. –Winter

2. Virtual Reality, EE267

With an emphasis on VR technology, Professor Gordon Wetzstein leads students through
OpenGL, real-time rendering, 3D display systems, display optics & electronics, IMUs and
sensors, tracking, haptics, rendering pipeline, multimodel human perception and depth
perception, stereo rendering, presence. Link to EE267 in Explore Courses. –Spring

3. An Intro to Making: What is EE? ENGR40M

One of the most popular EE classes – this is a hands-on class where you learn to make stuff.
Through the process of building, Professor Mark Horowitz will introduce the basic areas of EE.
Students build a 'useless box' and learn about circuits, feedback, and programming hardware.
A light display for your desk or bicycle will teach you about coding, transforms, and LEDs. A
solar charger and an EKG machine introduce basic concepts about power, noise, and circuit
safety. Best of all, you get to keep the toys you build. Link to ENGR40M in Explore Courses. –

4. Modern Physics for Engineers, EE65

Going beyond classical physics to introduce concepts from quantum mechanics and statistical
physics – EE65 takes your interest and love of physics to the next level. In imaginative and
insightful ways,Professor David Miller will explain how these abstract fields help understand a
wide array of devices, applications and even everyday events. For instance, we cannot fully
comprehend the color and brightness of the sun, much less the workings of a solar cell, without
this knowledge. The class will show how these ideas enable engineers to understand and
improve transistors, lasers, photo-detectors, memory devices and other electronic devices. Link

5. Introduction to Matrix Methods, EE103

Linear Algebra and Dynamic Systems has never been so interesting or powerful. In EE103 we
don't just talk about it, we do it. This course will enable students with a wide variety of
educational backgrounds to understand the basic concepts and exciting applications of linear
algebra. Led by Professor Stephen Boyd, one of the preeminent thinkers in this field, EE103
will empower students to develop and build their own systems using simple open source
software tools that we are developing. We will not just talk about linear algebra. We will do
it. Link to EE103 in Explore Courses. —Autumn

6. Embedded Networked Systems, EE107

This class is a hands-on introduction to how networks of different scales are designed, from
datacenters to embedded low power networks. Networks form interconnects that stitch together
our digital and physical lives. They underpin cloud computing, our mobile connectivity, as well
as the means to connect the large number of sensors that will pervade our physical
surroundings. Professor Sachin Katti will teach these concepts through a project that involves
building a wireless network from the ground up using software radios. Students will also learn
how to use these networks to build embedded applications (e.g. wireless controlled network of
drones, localization systems using WiFi). The goal is to introduce students to larger concepts in
electrical engineering and computer systems: the role of abstraction and layering, building
reliable systems out of unreliable components and dynamic sharing of scarce resources. Link to

7. Power Electronics, EE153

Thinking about the energy and environmental challenges of the future? Understand the
behavior of diodes, transistors, capacitors, and inductors in application. Taught by Professor
Juan Rivas-Davila, this course focuses on the circuits used to efficiently convert AC power to
DC power, step DC power from one voltage level to another, and convert DC power to AC
power. The components used in these circuits (e.g., diodes, transistors, capacitors, inductors)
are also covered in detail to highlight their behavior in a practical implementation. A lab held
with the class will give students hands-on experience with power electronic circuits. The class
also has a final project that requires a math design, simulation, implementation and
experimental verification. Link to EE153 in Explore Courses.—Winter

8. EE/CS Courses:
EE has a significant overlap with CS, not only in hardware and software systems, but also in
developing algorithms for signals, data processing, and machine learning. This overlap is
captured through many courses and the research of the 15 faculty who have joint
appointments between EE and CS. Understanding the relationship between EE and CS through
a combination of both fields is the key to moving beyond current technology, hardware, and
software constraints.
