Electrical and Computer
Engineering
Computers and Problem Solving
(petition for Honors credit)
Course & Class Num: ECE 1331, 14369
Time & Location:
TTH 11:30 – 1:00, W122 D3
Instructor:
Barr
This first course in electrical and computer engineering is
designed to introduce students to the increasing variety of
computer-based tools available and how they might be applied
to solve engineering problems.
To address these important topics, the course includes
an introduction to graphical and command line interfaces.
In addition, the standards for computer networks including
the Internet, and the use of spreadsheets and symbolic math
introduction to functional and procedural programming will
also be addressed.
Circuit Analysis
(petition for Honors credit)
Course & Class Num: ECE 2300, 14377
Time & Location:
MW 1:00 – 2:30, TBA
Instructor:
Crisan
Basic concepts of electric circuit analysis techniques. Induc-
tors, capacitors, first order circuits. Sinusoidal analysis.
Complex Power. For EE, CpE, and BME majors. This is the
course where the ECE Department officially begins to try to
make you think like an engineer. The lectures are reputed to be
humorous, the homework is typically long and difficult, and
the exams are legendary (or infamous, take your pick).
Numerical Methods for Engineering
(petition for Honors credit)
Course & Class Num: ECE 2331, 14381
Time & Location:
TTH 1:00 – 2:30, W205 D3
Instructor:
Barr
This course provides students with an introduction to lin-
ear algebra and numerical methods. The emphasis is on
engineering applications and computational techniques. Topics
include solution of nonlinear equations, numerical, integration
and differentiation, interpolation, matrix and vector arithme-
tic, systems of linear equations, matrix inverses, determinants,
approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear systems, least
squares, eigen values, diagonalization, and numerical solu-
tion of initial value problems. In addition,
