ECE 212 - Elements of Electrical Engineering II

3 credits
3 hours lecture
Prerequisites: ECE 211
Second course of two-part sequence for non-ECE majors, covering more advanced concepts/applications of Electrical Engineering. Amplifiers utilizing bipolar or field-effect transistors are analyzed and designed. The concepts of feedback systems are introduced in the application of operational amplifiers as summers, integrators, differentiators, filters, and comparators. Basic Boolean algebra and elements of digital logic (gates, adders, flip-flops, counters, and registers) are applied in the analysis and design of practical digital circuits. Use of available computer software to simulate and evaluate the analog and digital circuit designs and homework problems is required. In addition, three-phase power, magnetic circuits, and the characteristics, control, and application of AC and DC machines are studied.
