ECEGR 312 – Linear Systems Analysis. As mentioned earlier, the modern practice of electrical engineering draws heavily upon both physics and mathematics. Of all the courses in the Electrical Engineering Fundamentals Block, ECEGR 312 is the most purely mathematical. Systems are treated as ‘black boxes’ with inputs and outputs. Little attention is devoted to how the system might be made up of individual components. The emphasis is on the relationship between input and output signals.

ECEGR 317 – Signals and Systems Laboratory. In some ways this laboratory is a continuation of ECEGR 227. However, more emphasis is placed on study of the signals that exist in an electrical circuit and the way in which the system shapes them. This laboratory is closely related to material covered in ECEGR 211 and 312.

ECEGR 320 – Electronics I.
Radios, computers, cell phones, and many other modern devices are based upon electronic components and circuits. Contemporary electronics began with the introduction of the bipolar junction transistor in 1947. This course introduces students to methods used in analyzing simple transistor circuits.

ECEGR 321 – Electronics II. 
A continuation of ECEGR 320. More complicated circuits are introduced.

ECEGR 328 – Electronics Laboratory. Application of laboratory techniques developed in ECEGR 227 and 317 to electronic circuits such as those discussed in ECEGR 320 and 321. In 33 recent years the ultimate goal of this course has been to build an operational amplifier from discrete components. The subsystems of the op amp are individually developed and then assembled into a complete system. These courses, along with the Electrical Engineering Foundations block, prepare to study most advance topics in electrical engineering. The fundamentals block is prerequisite to both advanced elective courses and senior design.

ECEGR 331 Distributed Systems. Analysis of distributed systems; steady-state and transient analysis of loss-less lines, lossy lines; waveguides. Prerequisite: ECEGR 211, PHYS 123, and junior candidacy.

ECEGR 360 Communication Systems. Analysis and design of signal transmission systems that include amplitude, phase, frequency, and pulse modulation. Subsystem synthesis and design with comparative analysis. Communication in the presence of noise. Prerequisites: ECEGR 312 and MATH 244.
