Diodes, various discrete and IC regulated power supplies, transistor biasing
techniques, and characteristics of small signal amplifiers are studied.
Additional topics such as dependant sources, operational amplifiers, non-ideal
DC op amp characteristics, waveform generation, and IC fabrication overview
are also covered. Circuit fundamentals such as Kirchhoff's laws are utilised
in the analysis and design of circuits. Computer-aided analysis of circuits
is used.
EET-159 Digital Applications
This course continues the study of combinational and sequential digital
applications. The input and output characteristics of the various common logic
families and the appropriate signal conditioning techniques for on/off power
interfacing are discussed. Also stressed are standard logic function blocks,
digital and analog signal interfacing techniques, and memory devices.
EET-196 Exploring EET
This course explores the EET field. Practical Experiences to teach techniques
for proper and safe use of hand tools are introduced. Techniques for connecting
various types of circuits are also covered. The process of fabricating printed
circuit boards and introductory processes for using plastic and metal to
fabricate custom parts are presented. Verbal and written communication skills
are utilized to report project progress and results. Goals are: Introduce
students to the EET Program, Develop minimum competencies in time management,
soldering, and electronic assembly basics.
EET-207 AC Electronics Circuit Analysis
AC circuits including the j operator, phasors, reactance and impedance are
studied. Circuit laws, network theorems, and the fundamental concepts of
Fourier analysis are applied and used in the study of topics such as passive
filters, IC filters, amplifiers, resonant circuits, single phase and three
phase circuits, and elementary magnetic circuits. Goals are: This course
equips the students to analyze AC circuits using a variety of techniques and
tools. Special emphasis is given to filters, amplifiers and AC power
applications.
EET-214 Electricity Fundamentals
This course is an introduction to basic electronic components and their
characteristics. These components will be discussed in the context of basic
electrical circuit theory. Theory will be reinforced through the use of
electronic laboratory equipment to test circuits built in the lab portion of
the course. This course is for non-EET majors only and is a prerequisite for
EET 233. The overall goal is for a student who is studying in an area of
technology other than electrical to understand the basic concepts of
electrical circuit theory and components, and basic electronic laboratory
skills.
EET-231 (Lab only) Electrical Power and Controls
This course introduces magnetic materials and properties followed by analysis
of transformers and power conditioning equipment, induction motors, and
single-phase and three-phase power systems. Motor control devices, programmable
logic controllers, PLC input and output devices and power system communications
and monitoring are introduced.
EET-257 Power and RF Electronics
This course is a study of the application of circuit analysis techniques to
amplifiers used in power and RF electronics, including bipolar junction
transistors, field effect transistors, thyristors, RF amplifiers, phase lock
loops, switching power supplies, and appropriate applications. Computer aided
analysis of circuits is used.
EET-490 Senior Design Project, Phase I
An extensive individual design and/or analytical project performed in
consultation with one or more faculty advisers. Collaboration with
representatives of industry, government agencies, or community institutions is
encouraged. Evidence of extensive and through laboratory performance is
required. Phase I includes, but is not limited to, faculty acceptance of
project proposal, defining and limiting project objectives, initial research
and source contracts, procurement of materials, and periodic progress reports.
Goals are: To introduce the student to the industry concepts of project
management. To guide the student through a project to completion, using time
management concepts. To demand from the student performance as it will be
expected in industry in the areas of written reports, oral reports, and
protocol in meetings.
EET-491 Senior Design Project, Phase II
Phase II includes, but is not limited to, continued research and finalised
design, oral presentation to faculty and other interested parties, and
standard format written technical report. Goals are: To introduce the student
to the industry concepts of project management. To guide the student through a
project to completion, using time management concepts. To demand from the
student performance as it will be expected in industry in the areas of written
reports, oral reports, and protocol in meetings
EET-496 Project Design and Development, Phase I
An extensive individual or small group design project is carried out with
guidance from a faculty advisor. Phase I includes determining customer
requirements, considering design alternatives, and issuing a formal project
proposal. Software scheduling tools are used extensively. The course concludes
with a report and demonstration of functionality of individual hardware and
software design blocks. Goals are: To continue the concepts of project
management begun in EET 396 by following a previously-proposed and planned
individual project through to a functioning-breadboard-stage, using time
management concepts and structured deadlines. To demand from the student
performance as it will be expected in industry in the areas of oral reporting,
design reviews, and protocol in meetings.
EET-497 Project Design and Development, Phase 2
This conclusion of the design project begun in EET 496 emphasizes system
integration and testing. The course concludes with a formal demonstration of
and oral presentation on the finished product and a written report on the
final design. Goals are: To guide the student through an individual project
to completion demanding performance as it will be expected in industry in the
areas of written reports, oral reports, and protocol in meetings.
