This class gives students a quick tour through the exciting world of Electrical and Computer Engineering. If you are looking for a major or would simply like to learn a little more about emerging technology, you are encouraged to take this class!

 

Class Structure The class will be a fast paced and entertaining look at the major topics within Electrical and Computer Engineering. The class is 0.5 credits and graded pass/fail. This semester we will be using a brand new, exciting e-textbook designed specifically for this class called Practically Magic - A Guide to Electrical and Computer Engineering.  There will be no tests and the grading criteria will be based on lecture attendance, reading, and completion of 10 animated learning activities found within the e-textbook.  These projects are meant to be fun, last less than an hour, and can be completed anywhere you can read your e-textbook.  To see what topics we will cover and to preview the activities, click on schedule.

 

Time and Location We will meet in room W111 BNSN (Ezra Taft Benson Building). Lectures will be Thursdays at 11 am.
