As current CMOS based technologies are approaching their anticipated limits, emerging nanotechnologies are replacing their role in electronic circuits.  This course overviews nanoscale electronics circuits in a comparison with those of conventional CMOS-based.  In this course, different emerging  computing models are investigated. Regarding the interdisciplinary nature of emerging technologies, this course is appropriate for graduate students in different majors including electronics engineering, control engineering, computer science, applied physics, and mathematics. No prior course is required; only basic (college-level) knowledge in circuit design and mathematics is assumed.
