Description: ES 332 (Electrical Engineering) presents fundamental topics of electrical engineering to non-majors. Topics include circuit elements (sources, resistors, inductors, capacitors and operational amplifiers), laws (KVL and KCL), analysis (mesh, nodal, DC, AC and transient), power and digital systems (binary numbers, combinational logic and information processing). The course will cover material taken from chapters 2-8, 11-14 of the text.

Grading:

• Homework: 20%
  • Typically assigned every other class.
  • Collaboration is encouraged, but the work turned in must be your own.
  • Homework should be neatly written with all steps clearly shown, single-sided and stapled when multiple pages.
  • Late homework not accepted.
• Four exams (including final exam): 80%
