This course introduces students to analysis of linear time-invariant (LTI) continuous and discrete-time systems using both time and frequency domain methods. It also includes coverage of convolution and impulse response, Fourier series and Fourier transform, Laplace transform, sampling, z-transform, state variable analysis, and transfer functions. Both analytical and computer-based solutions are explored and connection is made to engineering applications. Prerequisites: EGR-270 and MAT-265.

An introduction to semiconductors and their use in electronic circuits. The theory and functionality of diodes, MOS and bipolar transistors, and operational amplifiers is discussed. Course emphasizes the analysis and design of basic amplifiers and logic circuits. Lab experiments involve design and construction of circuits with diodes, transistors and op amps. Prerequisite: EGR-270.

Introduction to electrical machinery, including magnetic materials and fields, transformers, basics of AC machines, synchronous and poly-phase induction machines, power factor, and speed control. Simulation models used to illustrate the dynamic behavior of machines. Prerequisites: EGR-270 and PHY-222.

This course introduces students to analysis and design of both continuous and discrete-time linear control systems. Focus is placed on modeling of the plant and closed loop systems, transfer functions and system response, basics of feedback control, and root locus and frequency design methods. The course also includes an introduction to the computer modeling of discrete-time feedback systems and digital icrocontrollers. Prerequisite: EEE-310.

This course introduces the fundamentals and engineering applications of electromagnetic fields and waves. Topics covered include vector analysis, transmission lines, static electric and magnetic fields, dielectrics and magnetic materials, Maxwell's equations for time-varying fields, and wave propagation. Prerequisites: PHY-222, MAT-255, MAT-265, and EGR-270.

A course in topics of current interest in electrical engineering. Specific content varies term by term but will be announced before registration begins for the semester of offering. Prerequisite: Permission of the Division Chair.
