The fundamental analysis and design concepts of digital theory needed for more advanced study of digital circuits. Topics covered include: number systems, codes, Boolean algebra, K-mapping, and combinational, sequential digital circuits. Lab exercises explore modern integrated circuit technology and introductory design using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools.

Second course in electronic circuit analysis, introducing time varying circuits and more advanced electronic circuit analysis; including super position, node/mesh methods, phasor representation, frequency response, impedance, and reactance. Lab exercises use oscilloscopes, function generators to build and analyze circuits with reactive elements.

The statics portion of the course analyzes equilibrium force systems applied to rigid bodies and the internal stresses and strains which result. The strength of materials portion of the course investigates the relationship between internal stress and strain to material properties and behavior. Topics include free body diagrams, equilibrium force analysis, tension, compression, shear and moment diagrams, torsion, bending, trusses, and beam deflection analysis. Lab

This course studies the properties and behavior of engineering materials. Materials considered are ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys, as well as plastics, ceramics, and composites. Material property and behavior modification through thermal and mechanical means is studied: such as heat treatment of steel or cold work forming. Selection of materials based upon manufacturing and design requirements is emphasized. Lab experiments will complement lecture material where appropriate.
