Electrical Engineering Degree Courses You Could Take
Digital Logic Design (3 hrs)
Topics include history and overview; switching theory; combinational logic circuits;
modular design of combinational circuits; memory elements; sequential logic circuits;
digital system design; and fault models and testing.
Engineering Electromagnetics (3 hrs)Students will learn electromagnetic theory as
applied to electrical engineering
vector calculus; electrostatics and magnetostatics; Maxwell鈥檚 equations, including
Poynting鈥檚 theorem and boundary conditions; uniform plane-wave propagation; transmission
lines 鈥� TEM modes, including treatment of general, lossless line and pulse propagation;
introduction to guided waves; introduction to radiation and scattering concepts.
Introduction to Electrical Engineering (3 hrs)
Learning to Learn (L2L) is based on sound cognitive and pedagogical techniques that
improve learning outcomes and make lifelong learning habitual. Students develop an
understanding of how engineering is learned and how they can facilitate and develop
the lifelong learning process, both individually and in teams.
Analog and Digital Circuit Design Project (3 hrs)
Students learn to use basic electrical engineering lab equipment, to build and test
simple circuits in the lab and to design and analyze circuits using CAD software tools.
Includes simulation and design experiments and a final comprehensive design project
to complement the circuit analysis course.
Modern Communication System Design Project (3 hrs)
Students are required to design electronic communication systems with electronic devices
such as MOS transistors, capacitors and resistors. Topics include LC circuits and
oscillators, AM modulation, SSB communications and FM modulation.
Signals and Systems (3 hrs)
Topics include elementary concepts of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and
systems; linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, impulse response, convolution, Fourier
series, Fourier transforms and frequency-domain analysis of LTI systems; and laplace
transforms, z-transforms and rational function descriptions of LTI systems.
