RE: Last Day to Drop is July 28, 2017

Dear EE majors;

The last day to drop and withdrawal for Summer B/C 2017 is 1 week away (July 28, 2017).  If you are planning to drop a course for the summer 2017 semester, please submit your request through Student Initiated Drop/ Add page (https://student.ufl.edu/dropadd.html).  When you submit your request on the page.   Please check your drop page to see if you have drops available to use.  If you do not have any drops then you will be required to petition the college. Please read the general information about dropping a course and Bright Futures and Dropped courses.  I will not drop your courses until I receive your verification email.

If the course is your only Summer B or only Summer C course, you can complete a full semester withdrawal on your own. The process has the same results as a selective drop but does not use a UF-issued lower/upper-division drop. Instructions for a full semester withdrawal can be found at https://registrar.ufl.edu/services/withdrawals.html.

Please follow it with an email to me that says the following information:

Subject line:  Summer B/C 2017 Drop Verification

If the course is your only Summer B or only Summer C course, you can complete a full semester withdrawal on your own. The process has the same results as a selective drop but does not use a UF-issued lower/upper-division drop. To withdraw from the entire semester (ALL COURSES YOU ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED), students are able to withdraw on their own.  To officially withdrawal from the semester, please use this web page (http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/services/withdrawals.html).  Please read the entire page for details for medical withdrawal and general procedures about withdrawing.  If you are withdrawing please let me know, via email. If you need to meet with me to discuss the reason why you are withdrawing, please come in during my walk-in hours or email me if you are unable to come in during that time.

I have used all my drops but I'm not doing well in course XYZ.  What should I do?

1)      Complete college petition (https://www.eng.ufl.edu/students/resources/undergraduate-student-handbook/petitions/)

RE: Fall 2017 EEL4930 Microprocessor Applications 2-Seats are still available

Dear All:

The ECE department will be teaching a new course, EEL 4930- Microprocessor Applications II, during the Fall 2017.  The course description and objectives are listed below (the course syllabus is also attached here for your reference):

CATALOG DESCRIPTION
Implementation of a Real-Time Operating System on an ARM Cortex-M processor to create more robust, secure and complex microprocessor applications. Introduction to IoT applications with special topics covering security and trust.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To understand the benefits of using an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) on a microcontroller. Students will also learn about the architecture of ARM Cortex-M based microprocessors. Students will learn the basic components of an RTOS including both background and event threads, thread scheduling algorithms, inter-process communication, thread priority, and synchronization/mutual exclusion via semaphores. Students will also learn how to design embedded C software driver libraries for peripherals such as I2C RGB LEDs drivers and a resistive, pixel-based touchscreen. Students will conclude the course by interfacing with a CC3100 Wi-Fi chip to create an IoT application, with an emphasis on security.

This course has limited enrollment, so students will need to be approved by me, the course instructor, in order to enroll.  Those interested in enrolling will need to send an email directly to me (yier.jin@ece.ufl.edu) no later than 5pm on August 7th. with the following information:

The Convergence (and Divergence) of IT and Operational Technology (OT) Cyber Security Industrial Cyber Security for Critical Infrastructure- Class

Join DynTek & GE Digital for this informative online event on how to gain insights to help you develop a comprehensive approach to ICS/OT Cyber Security that complements a strong IT security program. We will delve into the convergence of IT and OT security, as well as where the divergence (or the differences) might impact your plans in areas such as:

• ICS vulnerabilities
• Attack vectors
• Risk landscape
• ICS/OT network communications visibility and management

We will review strategies to increase resilience, improve safety, and maintain availability across your data and critical assets.
