Digital Relaying will also be covered.Prerequisite ELEG 350, ELEG 530 or equivalent or instructor’s consentCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)ELEG 538 DIGITAL POWER SYSTEM PROTECTIONNew applications of electronic devices in power systems protection, Electronic transducers, Auxiliary transformers,Anti-aliasing filters, Analog to digital converters, Sample and hold devices and computing devices, Numericaltechniques for converting quantized data to phasors and using the phasors for derived measurements, such as powerflow, apparent impedance, and frequency.Prerequisites ELEG 490 or equivalentCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)ELEG 539 INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC MOTORS FAULT ANALYSISThe course focuses on the theory of industrial three-phase electric motors and their noise and vibration problems.Different design for industrial electric motors and their parameters are studied. Sound, vibration and power efficiencyfor different type of industrial motors are discussed. The effect of oscillation between parallel connected industrialmotors and its effect on the performance of each individual motor are studied. Different analyses of the frequency andvibration measurement for electric motors are discussed.Prerequisites ELEG 430 or equivalentCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)ELEG 589 NON-THESIS RESEARCHAn individual research (outside the student’s Master Thesis or Master of Engineering Project) conducted under theguidance of a faculty member.Prerequisites Instructor’s ConsentCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(1 -3 credits)ELEG 590 COMPUTATION METHODS FOR ENGINEERINGMathematical modeling of systems, numerical methods, linearization and solutions.Prerequisites Math 261, or equivalentCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)ELEG 591 EMBEDDED CONTROLLERSDSP and FPGA, architecture, and design of DSP and FPGA based embedded controllers.Prerequisites ELEG 460, and ELEG 535 or equivalentsCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)Page 79
