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.

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.
