---|---|---|---|---|
ECE20001 | Electrical Engr Fundamentals I | This course covers fundamental concepts and applications for electrical and computer engineers as well as for engineers who need to gain a broad understanding of these disciplines. The course starts by the basic concepts of charge, current, and voltage as well as their expressions with regards to resistors and resistive circuits. Essential concepts, devices, theorems, and applications of direct-current (DC), 1st order, and alternating-current (AC) circuits are subsequently discussed. Besides electrical devices and circuits, basic electronic components including diodes and transistors as well as their primary applications are also discussed. | 3 | Learn More |
ECE20007 | Elec Engr Fundamentals I Lab | This is an introduction course in electronic measurement and circuit modeling, simulation and design techniques. These skills are developed through a variety of laboratory experiments ranging from voltage, current, and frequency, to resistors, inductors, capacitors, and operational amplifiers. When possible, the experiments develop practical skills through small design and soldering tasks. Finally, the course culminates in a two week group design project. In many ways this course is the laboratory of the co-requisite lecture course ECE 20001: Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I; however, we remind students that this is a standalone course that expects students will learn and demonstrate material not taught in ECE 20001. | 1 | Learn More |
ECE20002 | Elect Engr Fundamental II | Continuation of Electrical and Computer Engineering Fundamentals I. The course addresses mathematical and computational foundations of circuit analysis (differential equations, Laplace Transform techniques) with a focus on application to linear circuits having variable behavior as a function of frequency, with emphasis on filtering. Variable frequency behavior is further considered for applications of electronic components through single-transistor and operational amplifiers. The course ends with consideration of how circuits behave and may be modeled for analysis at high frequencies. Permission of Department required. | 3 | Learn More |
ECE20008 | Elec Engr Fundamentals II Lab | This is a course in electronic measurement, circuit modeling, simulation and design techniques. These skills are developed through a variety of laboratory experiments including discrete semiconductor measurement, transistor amplifiers, motor control, and operational amplifier internals. The experiments develop practical skills through small design and soldering tasks. Finally, the course culminates in a two week group design project. In many ways this course is the laboratory of the co-requisite lecture course ECE 20002 Electrical Engineering Fundamentals II; however, we remind students that this is a standalone course that expects students will learn and demonstrate material not taught in other courses. | 1 | Learn More |
ECE26400 | Advanced C Programming | Continuation of a first programming course. Topics include files, structures, pointers, and the proper use of dynamic data structures. A basic knowledge of the UNIX operating system and an introductory C programming course; C programming knowledge should include basic syntax, control structures, and file I/O, as well as experience in declaring and using functions. | 3 | Learn More |
ECE27000 | Intro Digitl Sys Desgn | An introduction to digital system design and hardware engineering, with an emphasis on practical design techniques and circuit implementation. | 4 | Learn More |
