The following is the schedule of the Spring Semester, ECE 395, Junior Seminar. The purpose of the seminar is twofold. First, presentations are given by faculty members that discuss the background on areas of study in electrical and computer engineering in the senior year. Second, speakers, generally from outside the department, will give talks on areas of interest that are not normally taught as a full course in the undergraduate ECE curriculum. From semester to semester the topics presented will change. The seminar will be held from 12:20 1:10 PM, Wednesday, in Room 511 of Ferris Hall.
