Fundamentals of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Catalog description

Semester course; 2 lecture and 3 laboratory hours. 3 credits. Prerequisite: EGRE 101 . Enrollment is restricted to computer engineering and electrical engineering majors. Students will expand on their understanding of electrical and computer engineering concepts and phenomena through labs where they assemble working models of both analog and digital devices. Through participating more actively in the design process, and measuring response variables at key points of the device, students reinforce their knowledge and understanding of electrical and computer engineering systems. They further their knowledge in this field through learning about active components and the fundamental concepts that drive their behavior. Students expand their understanding of the interactions of voltages and currents as well as magnetic and electric fields and how they are applied in the design of modern technology. At the same time, they learn and practice higher level mathematical skills that are a key component of student success in electrical and computer engineering.
