The second course in basic circuit theory and design. Topics include AC circuit steady-state response analysis, review of complex numbers, phasors, coupled inductors and ideal transformers, rms voltage and current, the maximum power transfer theorem, balanced 3-phase systems, and power and energy computations, applications of Laplace transforms to solutions of switched circuits and differential equations with initial conditions, stability, poles/zeros, Fourier transform, frequency response, Bode plots, network analysis, and equivalent circuits. Students are introduced to graphical convolution and Fourier series. Group classroom and project activities require design, implementation and measurement of filters and other circuits to meet design specifications.

Introduces the non-ECE major to some of the basic concepts in Electrical Engineering. The laws of circuit theory and their applications in the analysis of both DC and AC circuits consisting of passive components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) are introduced. The concepts of power, impedance, reactance, complex power, phasors, and frequency response are discussed. Semiconductor devices (diodes and transistors) are introduced, analyzed, and applied in basic circuits. Use of available computer software to simulate and evaluate circuit performance is required.

Introduces and develops basic bread-boarding techniques and circuit construction; acquaints the non-ECE student with measurements using voltmeters, ammeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and signal generators; and demonstrates the practical use of some fundamental electronic devices in simple applications. Students use a computer software package to simulate the behavior of the devices and circuits, which have been constructed and tested in the laboratory exercises.

Fundamentals of solid-state electronic devices and the application of these devices to the design of digital circuits. Among the topics covered are MOS and bipolar junction transistors, logic gates and CMOS logic design. Focus is on the design of logic circuits through solving design-oriented problems and the design, implementation, and testing of logic circuits by means of computer simulation software. The course has an integrated laboratory and, in addition, contains a component designed to increase awareness of the dynamic nature of the field.
