This is an introductory course that presents the basic principles of electrical and computer engineering. The topics include: basic circuit theory, electrical/electronic components, basic circuit laws and circuit analysis techniques; digital logic concepts, microcomputers, programming, and interfacing to digital & analog sensors and actuators. The course has a significant practical component that gives students the opportunity to apply tools for circuit design and simulation, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and PCB soldering/assembly. Students will also work on mobile robots by interfacing sensors and developing programs for intelligent control of robots. At the end of the term students are expected to complete a comprehensive final project and write a report to demonstrate innovative application of the course material.
