EE: Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Lecturer: Dr. Mohammed Morsy Farag
Overview
This course introduces fundamentals
and applications of
electronic engineering for non-EE students.Course objectives include:
- Present the principles of electronic engineering to an audience composed of non–electrical engineering majors.
- Present these principles by focusing on the important results and applications and presenting the students with the most appropriate analytical and computational tools to solve a variety of practical problems.
- Illustrate, by way of concrete, fully worked examples, a number of relevant applications of electronic engineering principles.
- Experimental assembly and testing of basic electronic circuits to apply and assimilate the theoritical concepts taught in the course.
- Practice modeling and simulation using SPICE CAD tools to increase understanding of the materials taught in the course.
- Lectures (2 hours), Tutorials (2 hours), Lab (2 hours)
- Office Hours: Saturday 1:30AM to 3:00PM.
- Teaching Assistant: Eng. Nour Nabil, Eng. AbdelKader Matrawy
