ETEE 1050 - Introduction to
Electromechanical Systems - 3 Credits
The course introduces students to the
nature of electricity and magnetism, and
applications of practical electrical and
electromechanical devices and systems.
Students study electrical laws in basic DC
and AC circuits, and the behavior of passive
and active circuits and components.
Students also are be introduced to basic
electromechanical components such as
relays, switches, motors and generators.
The course emphasizes a systems approach
to utilizing and testing electromagnetic
technology. Both hands-on labs and software
simulation are used to develop an
understanding of combining components
to form complex systems and the tech-
niques to evaluate the performance of
electromechanical systems. (Corequisite:
MATH 1200 or permission of the instructor)
Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
ETEE 1100 - Engineering Applications
of Computers - 3 Credits
Students are introduced to microprocessor
and microcontroller architectures. Machine,
assembly and high-level languages will be
examined. A combination of assembly and
a high-level language are applied to solving
problems using a popular microcontroller
development environment and target
hardware system. Data and graphic information
types and formats are described
and used in programs. Acquiring data from
internal and external sources, communicating
across networks, and directing output
to displays and other external interfaces
are also be explored. Student lab activities
include developing and debugging programs
used to control electromechanical devices,
measuring operating parameters, collecting
data, and displaying information. (Prerequisites:
MATH 1200, ETEE 1800, Lecture: 2
hours, Lab: 2 hours
ETEE 1120 - Electronic Devices and
Circuits - 3 Credits
This course is a study of the basic laws of
electronic circuit theory applied to electronic
devices with emphasis on solid state
devices, including the theory and operation
of semi-conductor diodes and transistors.
Operational amplifiers, oscillators, active
filters and switching circuits are emphasized
and analyzed in laboratory experiments.
Analysis techniques include the use
of Bode plots and computerized experiments
using circuit simulation software in
addition to bench work wiring up circuits
that are analyzed and then tested. (Prerequisite:
ETEE 1500) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours
Prerequisite: Successful completion of course required before registering. Corequisite: Course must be taken prior to or at the same time.
