Course Description

EE 42/100 (and EE 43) serve as an introduction to the principles of Electrical Engineering, using electronic devices to communicate, solve problems, and manipulate our environment. EE 42/100 will start with basic concepts about charges and currents, develop devices such as circuits to translate design concepts into reality, and study some high level applications including logic circuits, amplifiers, power supplies, and communication links.

Homework

Up to two students may work jointly on homework and turn in a single writeup with both names on top. The lowest homework will be dropped. Discuss between students of homework problems is fine, but each group of 1 or 2 students must independently writeup their own solution. Do not allow others to copy your homework sets.

Honor Code

In the real world, unethical actions by engineers can cost money, careers, and lives. Unethical actions in this class will result in a penalty ranging from a minimum of a "0" grade to an "F" in the class and a letter to the campus Office of Student Conduct.
