This class gives students a quick tour through the exciting world of Electrical and Computer Engineering. If you are looking for a major or would simply like to learn a little more about emerging technology, you are encouraged to take this class!

 

Class Structure The class will be a fast paced and entertaining look at the major topics within Electrical and Computer Engineering. The class is 0.5 credits and graded pass/fail. There is no textbook to buy or tests to take. The grading criteria will be based on lecture attendance and participation in take home lab projects.

 

Hands-on Lab Projects This will be a unique seminar/introductory class because we have designed 10 lab projects to help familiarize you with the topics we will cover. To see what topics we will cover and to preview the labs, click on schedule. These projects are meant to be fun, last less than an hour, and can be completed almost anywhere – even in your apartment or dorm room. In some of these labs you will work with an assigned group of students. Our hope is that you will make new friends and learn from each other during these exercises.
