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 general), power and digital systems (binary numbers, combinational logic and information processing). The course will cover material taken from chapters 1-5, 11-15 of the text.

Grading:

• Homework: 15%
• In general, assigned every other class period.
• Collaboration is encouraged, but the work turned in must be your own.
• Neatly show all work for full credit; write on only one side of paper; staple multiple pages together.
• Due at beginning of class; accepted up to one day late for a 20% reduction in score.
• Three Exams: 60%
• Final Exam: 25%
  • Scheduled for Wednesday, May 11 at 1:30 pm in MSEC 105
