Course Content:
EC410 includes a coordinated set of lectures, labs, homework, and exams to provide students
with an introduction to electronics and circuit design. Lab sessions meet weekly in PHO105
where students will perform a variety of introductory circuit experiments using components
and a breadboard (previously purchased in kit form for EK307). Each lab session will be
conducted by GTF assigned to the course. Students will also be assigned weekly discussion
times with a GTF to discuss the course material and ask questions on the homework. The
course will contain two mid-terms and a final exam.
