Electrical Engineering Course Descriptions
ELEC 104
Engineering Fundamentals I
One Credit Hour
Required of electrical engineering freshmen. Meets the first year seminar
requirement.
An introduction to the engineering profession, branches and functions of
engineering, professional ethics, and the role of engineers in society. Fundamen-
tals of engineering problem solving and the use of calculators and computers as
tools to aid in problem solving. This course also covers first year seminar topics
including academic skills and lifestyle issues related to success in college.
Lecture: one hour. Laboratory: one hour.
ELEC 105
Engineering Fundamentals II
Two Credit Hours
Required of electrical engineering freshmen.
Continuation of Engineering Fundamentals I to include the introduction of
subject areas common to most engineering disciplines, such as mechanics, en-
ergy, engineering economy, electrical theory, and material balance. Introduction
to the design process to include preliminary design team exercises.
Lecture: two hours.
ELEC 201 and ELEC 202
Electric Circuit Analysis
Three Credit Hours
I and II
Prerequisites for ELEC 201: MATH 131 or permission of the department
head to allow it as a corequisite; prerequisite or corequisites: ELEC 104, PHYS
221/271.
Prerequisites for ELEC 202: MATH 132 or permission of the department
head to allow it as a corequisite, a grade of "C" or better in ELEC 201; prereq-
uisite or corequisites: ELEC 105, ELEC 204, ELEC 206.
Required of electrical engineering sophomores.
Basic electrical elements and sources, Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws, tech-
niques of DC circuit analysis, sinusoidal analysis and phasors, power, three-
phase circuits, and transient response of simple circuits, uses SPICE to aid
circuit analysis.
Lecture: three hours, two semesters.
Students must earn at least a "C" in ELEC 202 before enrolling in any
courses for which ELEC 202 is a prerequisite.
ELEC 204
Electrical Laboratory
One Credit Hour
