EECE 211X: Circuits Problem Session

Prerequisites:Concurrent enrollment in EECE 211

Elective

Catalog Description: Designed to supplement EECE 211 with additional applications and extended explanations of concepts encountered in the first circuits course. Provides the student with the opportunity for additional assistance in analyzing and designing circuits. Credit/no credit grading only. Formerly ECE 095X.

Course Objectives:

• help students formulate solutions to DC and AC circuit problems
• help students analyze circuit with DC motors
• help students analyze simple logic circuits

Course Outcomes:

Students shall be able to calculate:

• all steady state voltages, currents, and power for DC and AC circuits
• Thevenin and Norton equivalent of circuits with independent sources
• rise time and fall time, of R-C circuits
• frequency response of high-pass, low-pass and resonant circuits
• voltage and current waveform of simple diode circuitry including rectifiers, clamps and clippers
• DC motor torque, no-load speed, loaded speed, and efficiency

Class/Laboratory schedule:

• One hundred minutes a week activity

Contribution of Course to Meet the Professional Component:

• Engineering Science: 1.0 units

Relationship of Course to Program Outcomes and Objective:

This course makes significant contributions the following program outcomes:

• An ability to apply knowledge of math, science and engineering
• An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems

This course supports the achievement of the following elements of the program objective:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve computer engineering problems
• Use industry standard tools to analyze, design, develop and test computer-based systems containing both hardware and software components.
