• ECE 1900: Intro to ECE

  1.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  An introduction to electrical engineering, this course will provide some orientation to the field and student resources within the department. Hands-on lab activities will introduce some key mathematical and engineering concepts in the context of electronic circuit mini projects, that include visual and audible components. Concepts include: measurement units, current, voltage, resistance, power, Kirchhoff's law and solution of circuit equations, RLC circuits, exponential functions, sinusoidal currents and voltages, and representation with complex numbers.

• ECE 2200: ECE Non-Majors

  1.50 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  Fundamentals of electrical engineering topics for non-electrical and non-computer engineering majors. We will cover the fundamentals of DC and AC circuit theory including resistors, capacitors, and inductors. We will also learn about switches and motors and diodes and how to use these electrical components to create functional circuits with inputs and outputs. A wide range of applications will be introduced in the course, including: (1) using resistive sensors to measure light intensity, pressure, or strain; and (2) reducing complex circuits to simpler models. Corequisites: "C-" or better in MATH 2250.

  Fundamentals of electrical engineering topics for non-electrical and non-computer engineering majors. We will cover the fundamentals of DC and AC circuit theory (using resistors, capacitors, and inductors) as well as active semiconductor devices (diodes, transistors, and amplifiers). We will also learn about switches and motors and microcontrollers and how to use these to create functional circuits with inputs and outputs. A wide range of applications will be introduced in the course, including: (1) using resistive sensors to measure light intensity, pressure, or strain; (2) reducing complex circuits to simpler models; (3) using circuit components to reduce unwanted electrical noise / interference; and (3) designing circuit parameters to fulfill specified functions. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (PHYS 2210 OR PHYS 3210) OR AP Physics C Mechanics score of 4 or better. Corerequisites: "C-" or better in MATH 2250.

• ECE 3030: Comms & Wrtg for Engrs

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course is designed to prepare students for writing and communication efforts specific to their careers in engineering. Students will develop written and oral communication skills through shorter in-class and homework assignments and an oral presentation. In addition, students will begin a proposal in preparation for their senior year design project that will be revised during the semester. A combination or writing and oral presentation exercises will emphasize delivering information in a clear, concise fashion. Students will learn to tailor messages to different audiences: colleagues and mentors, the general public, government agencies and the media. teamwork, ethical considerations and organizational issues will also be addressed. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((WRTG2010 OR a WR2) OR an (Assoc OR Bach Degr.)) AND Full Maj in (CE OR EE). Corequisites: 'C-' or better in ((ECE3991 OR CS3991) for CE Majors only) OR ((ECE 3300 OR 3110 OR 3500 OR 3600) for EE Majors only).
