ECE 280 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

Spring

This course makes use of DC circuit analytical and experimental techniques learned in ECE 100 to explore the steady-state and transient behavior of circuits involving resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Steady state AC circuit analysis is performed using concepts of phasors, impedance, frequency response, filtering, damping, resonance, and power. The transient response of first and second order circuits are explored thoroughly. Operational amplifiers and the related topics of feedback and stability are introduced in the context of common circuit applications. A hands-on laboratory component supplements the theoretical analysis to enhance student learning and to develop practical skills. Prerequisite: 2.0 or higher in

ECE 100

and PHY 260 and either FCO 105.
