ECE 2040: Linear Electric Circuits

Course Overview

This course is based on four tightly-coupled units:

Unit	Topic Summary	Project Due	Exam Date
Unit 1	Basic elements, Resistive Circuits, One-Port, Two-Port Networks, Op-Amps	Sept. 3	Sept. 10
Unit 2	Step Response, Single Time-Constant Circuits, Laplace Transform methods	Oct. 6	Oct. 8
Unit 3	Fourier Transform, Frequency Response, Phasors, Power	Oct. 29	Nov. 3
Unit 4	Advanced Circuit Topics	Nov. 19

The first exam will cover the Unit 1 material, the second exam will cover material through Unit 2, and the third exam will cover material through Unit 3. The fourth project will involve building advanced circuits building on knowledge learned in the first three units.
