ECE30: Engineering Principles of Electronics

Suitable for sophomores pursuing computer science and engineering careers. Aims at deriving basic engineering principles directly from examples relevant to computing and electronics: 1) Newton's Laws and related fundamental mechanics; 2) basic thermodynamics and heat/energy transfer; 3) key electromagnetic principles, including Coulomb's Law, Gauss's Law, and basic circuit analysis using Kirchoff's Laws/Rules; and 4) Ray optics for fiber optic communications and camera electronics.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 19B or MATH 20B. Enrollment is restricted to computer engineering, computer science: computer game design, computer science, network and digital technology, and technology and information management majors and proposed majors; and to computer engineering, computer science, and technology and information management minors.
