Bulletin Description: Practical experience in the use of computer tools for electrical engineering including word processing, spread sheets, schematic capture, circuit and math analysis, computer-aided design and project planning.
The objective of this course is to provide the electrical engineering student with a fundamental competency and understanding of computer tools available for performing their task in an efficient and cost effective way.
Each class will consist of a short discussion and question and answer session at the start of each class period. The students then have to option to leave and work on the project at another time, or continue to the computer lab to work on the project with the instuctor and teaching assistant present to answer further questions. The expectation is that each student is able to find any additonal information needed to complete the assignment with minimal additional information.
Grading Policy: The grades will be based on the work completed. Each student will be asked to perform a series of exercises to gain and prove their proficieny with the software tools provided.
