ELE-2110 DC Circuits

This course covers the fundamental concepts of electricity, circuits, and circuit elements, as well as serial, parallel, and more complex configurations, electrical conductors, power, and energy. It also covers the behavior of inductors and capacitors in DC circuits and their analysis in transient and steady states. A professional simulation package is used to conduct simulation experiments throughout the course. This course prepares students for ELE-2120: AC Circuits, a follow-up course on alternating current. Together, the two courses provide the knowledge base for all electrical, electronics, and mechatronics courses. These three branches of engineering, along with their specialization options, open the path to a majority of engineering careers.

Advisory: Proficiency in a course equivalent to at least MAT-1210: College Algebra is needed to succeed in this course.

Note: This course requires that students use NI Circuit Design Suite software, which is a Windows-based product and will not run on Macs. Students can run this software and other Windows software on a Mac using Apple's Boot Camp technology or third-party virtualization tools like Parallels or VMWare Fusion. These tools make it possible to run Mac OSX and a Windows operating system side by side. This solution will require a Windows license.

ELE-2120 AC Circuits

This course covers an introduction to alternating current, inductance, capacitance, inductive and capacitive reactance, fundamental AC circuitry, and single phase transformer.

Advisory: Advisory: Knowledge of basic DC circuits (or a course equivalent to ELE-2110: DC Circuits) and an understanding of trigonometric functions (or proficiency in a course equivalent to at least MAT-1290: Precalculus) is needed to succeed in this course.

Note: This course requires that students use NI Circuit Design Suite software, which is a Windows-based product and will not run on Macs. Students can run this software and other Windows software on a Mac using Apple's Boot Camp technology or third-party virtualization tools like Parallels or VMWare Fusion. These tools make it possible to run Mac OSX and a Windows operating system side by side. This solution will require a Windows license.

ELD-3020 Digital Electronics

This course is a study in applied digital logic using electronic digital circuits. Students will learn about digital electronic fundamentals, including number systems, logic gates, Boolean algebra, logic families circuit design, flip-flops, combinational and synchronous logic circuit design, logic minimization techniques (Karnaugh maps, Quine-McCluskey), finite state machines, counters, shift registers, encoders and decoders, multiplexers and demultiplexers, data storage, data conversion, data processing, and control. Learning is augmented by hands-on work through virtual labs using the NI Multisim software.

Note: This course requires that students use NI Circuit Design Suite software, which is a Windows-based product and will not run on Macs. Students can run this software and other Windows software on a Mac using Apple's Boot Camp technology or third-party virtualization tools like Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
