an actual compiler that translates the language to real machine code will
be explained.

1) Lets define a programming language
(What features are essential for programming languages ?)
2) Lets describe the grammar of the programming language

4) Lets analyze expressions
(Operator precedence parsing)
5) Lets consider syntax analyzer more widely applicable
(Recursive descent parsing)
6) Lets consider how to generate object codes
(Code generation patterns)
7) Lets construct an actual compiler for the tiny C language

Course Description ・Objectives
It is said that most failures and accidents of machines and    
 structures are caused by compoment fatigue. threfore, most basic 
concern in design to avoid structural failure is that the stress in 
component must not exceed the strength of the materials, where the 
strength is simply the stress that causes a deformation or cracking 
failure. Objectives of the class is to study the type of failure of 
materilas, the fatigue fracture of materials and the fatigue carck 
growth and to get the knowledge of the strength design.

Textbook Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems, Third Edition, by B.P. Lathi (Oxford University Press, 1998) 
Pre-requirement Trigonometric identities, Integrals, Fourier series, and some othert basic knowledge of mathematics, and LCR circuits.
Course Description This course must be taken concurrently with the course "Communication Systems Laboratory." First two classes will be review sessions that concentrate efforts on familiarizing tudents with the basic mathematical knowledge including the subjects listed in the prerequisites. Students who do not have confidence in those items are requested to make extra efforts to catch up with other students during the first two classes. This course together with Communication System Laboratory.“ discusses in depth how digital and analog communication systems work. The basic tools used here are waveform analyses. Topics covered in this course are, signal analysis, the Fourier spectrum, the autocorrelation function, power spectrum, line coding, intersymbol interference, roll-off filters, the discrete Fourier transform, the Hilbert transform, and various types of modulation. Some experiments in threshold effects in the presence of noise are included. From the first chapter up to chapter 7 of the textbook will be covered during the course hours. The remaining chapters will be covered in the course given in the spring semester.

Course Description (Objective)

The course is aimed at understanding state-of-the-art in Software Engineering (SE), which may help students in their own software project development and realization. The course lays a foundation for using approaches and techniques to develop a high-quality software in an effective manner, and also guides students in acquiring and maturing SE discipline.

Upon completion the course students should be able:

to understand principles, methods and technology of software engineering,
to analyze systems in terms of use-cases,
to use in practice principles of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD),
to express and document their software designs in UML,
to apply basic principles of software project management.

(Outline of Class and Contents)

Introduction: SoftWare Engineering BOdy of Knowledge (SWEBOK).

1. Software process; software process modeling and UML basics.
2. Requirements engineering and use-cases.
3. Object-oriented analysis and design. 
4. Distributed architectures and web applications: modeling and design with UML.
5. Reuse principles. Objects and software components for e_Learn domain.
6. Basics of software project management.


Assignments:

students should take an individual software project, provide it's vision and perform it consecutively in course.
the available UML tool should be acquired and mastered in order to carry out modeling and code engineering and re-engineering.

Assessment and evaluation

individual project (up to 65%) if incremental versions constantly, time and again presented on course web site, discussed with classmates and finally accomplished successfully.
 
mid term test (about 10%)
 
final exam-test (about 25%)
