INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

Catalog description

After an introduction to different branches of Engineering, we focus on Electrical Engineering to illustrate concepts, methods, problem solving approach, and tools common to all Engineering, and those unique to Electrical Engineering. Various areas within Electrical Engineering will be introduced, with examples from analog and digital electronic circuits, control and robotics, microwave and optical engineering, telecommunication, energy systems, and biosensors. Students will be introduced to skills they need to succeed in subsequent Engineering courses, and ethical responsibilities. The emphasis is to engage students in active learning through exercises, mini-projects, and team activities. Selected speakers from across the College of Engineering will make presentations and emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of Engineering. Some College of Engineering requirements are satisfied by the content of this course.
