Course Objectives: (numbers in brackets indicate the relationship to engineering program outcomes)

                                To provide the student with an understanding of basic design and analysis methods in digital and analog circuits (1, 2, 4).  Mathematical and experimental methods will be examined to determine the limitations as well as the power of these design techniques (1, 2, 3).  Computer simulation in circuit design and analysis will be demonstrated extensively (2).

 

Class/laboratory schedule:

Lecture either three times per week at 50 minutes per class, or two times per week at 75 minutes per class.
