ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
EET 1001 Introduction to Electrical Engineering Technology 1 Credit
The student is introduced to electronic instrumentation (with particular emphasis on the oscilloscope)
and soldering techniques. An introduction to printed circuit board layout, schematic
software and laboratory reports on personal computers are also covered. Spring and Fall
EET 1012 Electrical Circuits I W/Lab 3 Credits
An introductory course in DC and AC circuits. Topics include atomic structure, current and
voltage, resistance and power. Ohm’s Law and series and parallel circuits are covered.
Transient response for capacitors and inductors are also discussed. The course includes fundamental
AC concepts and phasor calculations for impedance, voltage, and current in RLC circuits.
There will also be discussion of ladder logic and introduction to motors and transformers.
Spring and Fall Corequisite(s): MATH 1730
EET 1022 Electrical Circuits II W/Lab 5 Credits
A continuation of EET 1012. This course extends DC topics to include Network Theorems
such as Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits. AC topics are covered in more detail and
include series and parallel resonance, filters, and three-phase power. Transformers and motors
are also covered in more depth than in Circuits I. Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): EET 1012
EET 1210 Active Devices I W/Lab 4 Credits
An introductory course in solid-state devices and the basic circuits in which they are used.
Topics include semiconductor physics, diode circuits, bipolar transistor circuit analysis and
FET circuit analysis, and operational amplifiers. Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): EET 1012
