University of Notre Dame was established in 1842 and the College of Engineering wasestablished in 1873. Instruction in electrical engineering (“EE”) at Notre Dame began with“Practical and Experimental” courses in electricity added to the civil engineering curriculum in1891. A separate undergraduate program in electrical engineering was established in 1895, andgraduate studies followed several decades later. A Master of Science in Electrical Engineering(MSEE) program was instituted in 1946 and the Ph.D. program in electrical engineering wasestablished at Notre Dame in 1963.Prior to 2015, the Department of Electrical Engineering emphasized two broad sub-disciplines:electronic materials and devices (“EMD”) and electronic circuits and systems (“ECS

The course is designed to teach students howto apply mechanical engineering knowledge in the biomedical field. It covers a wide range oftopics and is built on five prerequisite courses. Students take these courses from sophomorethrough senior years but not necessarily following the same technical sequence. Given thissituation, it is critical to make sure students have mastered the foundational knowledge and skillsbefore transferring them to the biomedical context.Traditionally, in each unit of the course the instructor would need about two to three weeks
