Grading

Midterm 1 Midterm 2 Final Quiz HW

25% 25% 35% 10% 5%

HOMEWORK 5%

Once every 1-2 week

Will drop 2 worst of homework grades %20 off each late day (starting after class, same day) May grade only some problems in the HW (without telling beforehand) Do not copy from others (but you can discuss)

Want you to: 1-review during the week (open the book at least once) 2-Learn the mechanics of problem solving (you may think you know when you see it in the class; but you dont, until you do it yourself)

Some quiz questions from HW (same or similar)

What is electrical engineering

...areas ranging from wireless communications to biomedical diagnostics... Fuel-efficient power generation, electronic speech recognition, self-assembling molecular electronics ... Advanced Energy Technologies, Speech-Based and Haptic Human-Computer Interfaces, Distributed and "Smart" Sensor Design, Streaming and Broadcast Multimedia, Electromagnetics and Remote Sensing, Systems-on-a-chip Design and Testing, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Signal Processing and Compression, Mechatronics and Genome Automation, Advanced Wireless Networks and Communications, Microelectromechanical Systems, and Nanotechnology Ovelap with CS, bioelectronics... Nowadays, more code and algoriths then devices

Core Areas

Computer Hardware, Computer Software, Controls, Communications and Signal Processing, Electronics, Fields and Waves Signals and systems, electronics, digital systems

Electricity is a means for information

Electricity Carries Energy
Heater, vacuum cleaner, motors, ... TV, LCD displays (info + elect. -> light) Audio amplifiers (info + elect.-> sound)

Information
Analog signals
Sensor readings, analog communicatins, TV signals, control signals, button press (doorbell)

Digital signals
Digital communication, computer networks, microcontrollers, ...

Signals, systems, communication, control, computer software, etc => mostly theory of info processing

Electronics, circuits, digital design, power, electromechanics, sensors, etc. => Physical representation and manipulation of info and energy
Sometimes information dominates completely (e.g. nformation theory started from electrical communications, but now is almost a completely mathematical field)
Signal and image processing (e.g. Mpeg and mp3) mostly all about algorithms.

Our emphasis

Circuits basics Signals and systems Electronics Digital design Want you to learn basics of these subjects

Simple but powerful ideas, concepts, analytical tools

Basic Ideas: Circuits Basics

Circuit elements

Resistor, capacitor, inductor, voltage and current sources, etc.

Element equations. Device modeling. Kirchoff, reduction, equivalent circuits, superposition,...

Solving a circuit

Review of circuits from physics, + some more Start AC circuits (capacitors and inductors) => Transition to dynamic systems

Basic Ideas: Signals and Systems

Linearity. Linear time invarient systems. Time domain and the transform domain
(Fourier: signals, spectrum, bandwidth. Laplace: systems, stability, feedback)

There are different ways to view the same data

The impulse response

These are very fundamental concepts in EE (and in many other engineering fields)

Basic Ideas: Electronics

Semiconductor basics What is all the fuss about the transistor?

Diodes and transistors

What does it do? Where is it used? How is it used?

Meet the Op-Amp

Cool things you can build using an op-amp

Basic Ideas: Digital Design

Know the toolset

Gates (AND,NAND,OR,NOT,...) Flip-flops, counters, registers, memory, ... Microcontrollers,...

State-machines. Digital system design.
