|
Course No.: EECS 598-001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor: Mona Jarrahi
Prerequisites: EECS 320 and EECS (330 or 334)
Meets MW 10:30-12 in EECS 1008
Course Description:
This course will provide graduate students with an overview on the unique specifications of terahertz waves and potential applications as well as the state of the current terahertz systems and the major technological challenges in the field.
