EECE2560 Fundamentals of Engineering Algorithms
Study a collection of classic algorithmic techniques that are useful for solving
engineering
problems. These algorithms include sorting algorithms (e.g., selection sort, insertion sort, quicksort), recursive backtracking
search, tree algorithms (traversals, binary search algorithms), and graph algorithms (traversals, spanning
trees forests, shortest paths, etc.). The course covers exhaustive approaches, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, backtracking,
branch and bound,
and iterative improvement. The course also covers algorithm analysis, asymptotic notation, and recursion. Data structures covered
include vectors, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, priority queues, hashtables and heaps.

EECE5643 Simulation and Performance Evaluation
Covers topics on computer simulation and performance evaluation in computer systems. The course introduces
basic computational and mathematical techniques for modeling, simulating and analyzing the
performance by using simulation, including models, random number generation, statistics analysis, and
discrete event-driven simulation. The course also covers both classic and timely techniques in the area of
performance evaluation, including workload characterization, capacity planning, and resource management
in enterprise systems, computer networks, data center, and cloud computing.

EECE3326 Optimization Methods
Covers the design and implementation of algorithms to solve
engineering problems using a high-level programming language. Reviews
elementary data structures, such as arrays, stacks, queues, and lists,
and introduces more advanced structures, such as trees and graphs and
the use of recursion. Covers both the algorithms to manipulate these
data structures as well as their use in problem solving. Emphasizes the
importance of software engineering principles. Introduces algorithm
complexity analysis and its application to developing efficient
algorithms. Prereq. CS 1500.

EECE7398 Simulation and Performance Evaluation
Covers topics on computer simulation and performance
evaluation in computer systems. The course mainly covers both classic
and timely techniques in the area of performance evaluation, including
capacity planning to predict system performance, scheduling, and
resource allocation in systems. The course also introduces some basic
computational and mathematical techniques for modeling, simulating and
analyzing the performance by using simulation, including models,
random-number generation, statistics, and discrete event-driven
simulation.
