Details about this class

We are using a free for download textbook "Circuit analysis and design" by Fawwaz Ulaby - https://services.publishing.umich.edu/Books/Electrical-Engineering-Textbooks

You can also purchase hardcovers at various booksellers online.

For the lab, a small parts kit is required. If you want to buy through the bookstore, look for the "electronics starter pack" that's designed for the EET program. That has 99% of what you need. If you want something a little better, there are several on amazon like this:

Any kit with a similar selection of parts will do (breadboard, hookup wire, resistor set, a few potentiometers, and a few capacitors set at a minimum).  The lab can supply some limited components if you forget your parts kit.

Technology

There is no additional technology required for this class.
