EC2220 Electrical Engineering Design

A team-based capstone engineering design course emphasizing the application of electrical engineering principles, devices, and circuits to the design, analysis, implementation, and testing of electronic systems. The intensive laboratory component initially reviews various electronic circuits useful in the design of the final project. Final projects require the design, analysis, implementation, testing and demonstration of an electronic system that also incorporates realistic parameters impacting the design process, such as economics, ergonomics, ethics, environmental impact, safety, etc.

Course Learning Outcomes

·       This course continues the study, initiated in EC2200, of commonly used analog integrated circuits and their applications in communications, control, filtering, power supplies, A-to-D and D-to-A conversion, etc.

·       The course emphasizes a laboratory approach to develop experimentation techniques and to develop confidence in design, testing and trouble shooting.

·       Laboratory assignments give students additional hands-on experience working with analog integrated circuits.

·       Students apply the knowledge they have learned in this course and in other courses to solve an electrical engineering systems problem by designing, building, testing, and demonstrating a circuit to solve the assigned project.
