EET 1310 Digital Fundamentals W/Lab 4 Credits
A study of basic numbering systems, basic computer codes, Boolean algebra, basic logic
gates, and logic simplification using Boolean algebra and Karnough maps. Topics include flipflops,
counters, shift registers, different types of memory (RAM, ROM, EPROM) and basic
microprocessor principles. Spring and Fall
EET 2220 Active Devices II W/Lab 4 Credits
A study of integrated circuits and special purpose solid-state devices. Topics include siliconcontrolled
rectifiers, triacs, diacs, unijunction transistors, varistors, thermistors and varactors,
timers, op amps and other linear devices and applications. Fall Prerequisite(s): EET 1210
EET 2310 Microprocessors I W/Lab 4 Credits
Basic microprocessor architecture with particular emphasis on the Motorola 68000. Topics
include machine language programming, interrupts and interfacing techniques with many
commonly used integrated circuits; interface chips, e.g., the Parallel Interface Adapter (PIA),
Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter (ACIA), programmable timers, and modems.
Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): EET 1310
EET 2601 Major Projects 2 Credits
A project course in which the student and instructor identify a project to be pursued by the
student. The student is required to submit the project for acceptance, acquire the parts and build
and test the completed product. Spring Prerequisite(s): EET 2310 Corequisite(s): EET 2220
EET 2715 MicrocomputerArchitecture 4 Credits
This course provides an opportunity for students to obtain knowledge and skills necessary
to service microcomputer hardware and supported peripherals. The course includes identifying
parts of a PC; discussing the functions and interactions of all PC subsystems; identifying and
troubleshooting common PC hardware problems; installing, replacing, and upgrading PC hardware
components; and installing and troubleshooting PC peripherals such as printers and
modems. On Demand Prerequisite(s): EET 1310 or consent of instructor
EET 2900 Special Topics 1-4 Credits
Special projects and applications in emerging technology. Content will vary, as this course
is a means for classes to explore certain topics in depth not covered in the general curriculum.
May be repeated for credit up to 9 hours. On Demand Prerequisite(s): Consent of instructor
EET 2910 Data Acquisition & Control 2 Credits
LabVIEW will be emphasized in solving problems in instrumentation and control. This
course covers basic data acquisition and control techniques. On Demand Prerequisite(s): EET
1210 and 2310
EET 2920 Programmable Controllers 2 Credits
An introductory course in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and basic applications in
which they are used. Topics include an overview of PLCs, PLC hardware components, basics
of PLC programming, development of fundamental PLC wiring diagrams and ladder programs,
programming timers and counters, advanced programming techniques, and PLC control
of motors and processes. Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): EET 1012
ENGINEERING SCIENCE
★ENS 1210 Statics 3 Credits
Vectors, forces and moments; equivalent force systems; and free-body diagrams, equilibrium,
frames, trusses, and friction. Spring and Fall Corequisite(s): MATH 1910
★ENS 1310 Particle Dynamics 3 Credits
Kinematics, simple harmonic motion; kinetics, Newton’s laws, work-energy, impulsemomentum;
impact. Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): ENS 1210 Corequisite(s): MATH 1920
★ENS 2310 Dynamics 3 Credits
A continuation of ENS 1310 (Particle Dynamics), dealing with the kinetics and kinematics
of rigid bodies rather than particles. Also covered are such topics as centers of mass and mass
moments of inertia. Spring and Fall Prerequisite(s): ENS 1310 and MATH 1920
