Summer 2009 Course Descriptions

The courses offered are subject to change. They will be cancelled from UNITE if there are no registrations the week before classes start. Course descriptions are taken from University Web site http://onestop2.umn.edu/courses/tc/designators.jsp . Courses topics may be revised per instructor. Contact instructor for more up-to-date and specific information.

Undergraduate students who wish to enroll in a 5xxx EE course need to review this announcement.

Note: UNITE call numbers will be filled in by the UNITE office once we receive your registration. We DO NOT use on-campus section numbers (i.e. 001) that you would find on the regular on-campus course listing.

Final exams are held on the last day of class
