In the second semester of the first year the students learn to use the computer as a tool to solve engineering problems in either ELEC 206 or CSCI 201. The study of electrical and computer engineering topics in the sophomore year has six credit hours of electric circuit analysis, one credit hour of electrical laboratory, three credit hours of digital and logic circuits, and three credit hours digital systems engineering. Theory is combined with application, demonstration, and experimental verification. In addition to these engineering classes, the first two years include 16 credit hours of mathematics, 8 credit hours of approved science, 8 credit hours of physics, and require English, History, and general education classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electrical engineering courses in the junior year are all required. Breadth of coverage is provided by courses in signals and systems, electronics, systems (automatic controls), electromagnetics, electromechanical energy conversion, and two laboratory classes. Engineering design emphasis among these courses has been determined by the experience and best judgment of the department faculty. The student\u2019s fifth mathematics course, MATH 335 &#8211; Applied Engineering Mathematics II, provides coverage of mathematical topics required in upper division electrical engineering courses. There is only one elective in the junior year; it is technical in nature and typically outside the mainstream of electrical engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The computer engineering courses in the junior year are all required.
