tools such as MATLAB for design and analysis of control systems. To provide an overview of concepts of design and control in the time domain and control of nonlinear systems. To provide students with the ability to use modern simulation tools such as SIMULINK and LabView for design and analysis of control systems.Course and Project AssessmentsThe course is assessed using formative and summative assessments in the form of homework,quizzes, tests/finals, term project, project report and presentation. Tests, homework andquizzes will assess ABET outcomes a, b, c, h, j and k. Project/Term Paper, report andoral presentations will assess ABET outcomes d, g, i, and k. The framework based on Criterion3 of ABET [8] is outlined below

Education, 2014 An Undergraduate Course in Military RF Electronic Applications, aka Electronic WarfareAbstractAn applications course can be a fun and interesting way to learn about an engineering discipline.The author created a course with a focus on what the military calls electronic warfare (EW):using the electromagnetic spectrum for advantage, preserving its use for friendly forces, andpreventing the enemy from doing the same. During the course, his students explored severalgenerally-applicable topics, including various types of radio frequency (RF) propagation, high-frequency printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and antenna analysis and design. They alsostudied several more militarily-focused topics, including
