- Course objectives
-
Provide enginering students other than electrical engineers an introduction to basic circuit and logic concepts of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Provide these students the basic tools of circuit analys and design that they will be expected to encounter in their profession, dealing especially with aspects of instrumentation, signal processing and poower distribution.
- Topics covered
-
Analysis and design of circuits with DC voltage and current sources using:
-
Network reduction techniques
-
Superposition
-
Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits
-
Loop Equations and Node Equations
-
Repeat the above for sinusoidal sources
-
Capacitors and inductors
-
Analyze and design simple passive filters
-
Become familiar with op-amp performance
-
Active Filters
-
Complex power in AC circuits
-
Power factor correction
-
2's complement arithmetic
-
Combinational logic analysis and design
-
Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps
-
Sequential logic circuit analysis and design
-
Special combinational and sequential components
-
Electric power
-
Operational amplifiers, combinational, sequential and special purpose digital logic circuits,
-
With a strong emphasis on application of the above concepts
- Class/laboratory schedule
-
Two fifty minute lectures per week; five three hour (nominal) laboratory sessions per semester.
- Contribution of course to meeting the professional component
- This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, and does provide design experience.
The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.
-
-
This introductory course attempts to familiarize the student with basic aspects of electric circuit performance, considering instrument applications, and aspects of AC power. The economics (cost-benefits) of power factor correction is considered. We are always concerned about the students' safety in the lab, and the concept proper grounding, ground fault interruption. Proper electrical distribution in the home and light industry is considered.
- Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes
- This course serves students in a variety of engineering majors. The information below describes how the course contributes to the college's educational objectives.
-
-
Development of basic skill in design and analysis of basic DC, AC and Logic circuits.
-
Ability to extract a well-posed engineering design problem from more broadly specified system goals.
- Assessment of student progress toward course objectives
-
This course is presented in three parts, DC Circuits, AC circuits, and Logic systems. An exam is presented at the conclusion of each of these sections. The third of these exams, i.e., on the logic systems considers only the portion of the course dedicated to this topic, thus does not comprehensively cover the entire course.
