EE537. Introduction to Electrical Engineering

Fall Semester 2002

 

Scores              Grading policy

Catalog Data: Fundamentals of electrical engineering. Topics are: circuit elements; signal waveforms; circuit laws and theorems; transfer functions; free, forced, and steady state responses; power calculations; amplifiers; and magnetic circuits. Non-EE majors only. Prereq: MATH 527; PHYS 408. Lab. 4 cr.

Goals: This course is intended to provide students with a working knowledge of electrical engineering, mainly electrical circuits. It draws upon the students’ abilities in applied mathematics, their knowledge of physical principles and their capacity to absorb, understand and apply these skills to the circuit phenomena.
