EECS 215: Introduction to Electronic Circuits

Recent Instructors: (Varies) Prof. Cindy Finelli, Prof. Ehsan Afshari, Prof. Pei Zhang, Prof. Fred Terry, Prof. David Wentzloff

Coverage
As the entry course into the EE and CE degree programs, EECS 215 not only introduces the student to the world of electronic circuits, it also provides previews of many related specialties, including IC fabrication, micromechanical sensors and actuators, display technologies, nanocapacitors, and hard disk drives.

Lab
The six lab experiments are intended to give the student direct hands-on experience with building circuits, making measurements, and analyzing their results.

Lab 1: DC Circuits
Lab 2: AC Circuits
Lab 3: Op Amps
Lab 4: Transients
Lab 5: Filter Frequency Response
Lab 6: Audio System

Additional Information
Using Multisim, a student will be able to create a circuit of almost any complexity, excite it with pulses, sinusoids, or other waveforms, and then observe its output response. Multisim is an invaluable tool for designing amplifiers, frequency filters, logic circuits, etc.
