ABET Criteria
ABET
(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) is a
national agency accrediting the BSEE and other engineering
programs. The agency sets the criteria for accreditation,
which we must meet. EE 233 seeks to meet the following ABET
outcome criteria.
- Outcome 3 (a) Apply math, science and engineering
knowledge.
- Outcome 3 (b) Conduct experiments, as well as to
analyze and interpret data.
- Outcome 3 (c) Design simple RC and opamp circuits
to meet desired needs.
- Outcome 3 (d) Function and contribute various
individual skills in laboratory teams.
- Outcome 3 (e) Identify, formulate, and solve basic
RC and opamp circuit problems.
- Outcome 3 (g) Communicate effectively via written
laboratory reports.
- Outcome 3 (k) Use the techniques, skills, and
modern engineering tools.
Learning
objectives
At the
end of this course, a student will be able to:
- Analyze a circuit given sinusoidal inputs.
- Compute average power consumed or supplied by a
circuit.
- Design simple circuits for maximum power transfer to
a load.
- Apply Laplace transform techniques to simplify the
analysis of complex circuits.
- Analyze circuits in the frequency domain.
- Use several alternative techniques in time-domain and
frequency-domain to analyze the same circuit.
- Design simple circuits from time-domain and
frequency-domain specifications.
- Use two-port models and parameters to simplify the
analysis of large circuits.
- Use SPICE as a computer tool to verify a design, and
to confirm time-domain and frequency-domain analysis
results.
- Use basic laboratory instruments: oscilloscope, power
supply, function generator, multimeter.
- Measure basic signal parameters: amplitude,
frequency, etc.
- Measure and compute basic circuit parameters from
measurements.
These
objectives are not necessarily listed in the order in which
they will be accomplished during the course.

Prerequisite
topics
Students
should already know how to:
- use Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws.
- apply Ohm's law.
- apply efficient circuit theorems to speed up analysis
of circuits containing: parallel or series combinations
of elements, voltage dividers, current dividers.
- use Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits to
simplify the analysis process.
- work with controlled voltage and current
sources.
- use linearity and superposition.
- write current and voltage equations resulting from
node analysis and mesh (or loop) analysis.
- analyze circuits containing capacitors and inductors,
in addition to resistors.
- analyze circuits containing op-amps,
including limits on linear behavior.
- analyze first-order and second-order circuits in the
time domain.
- integrate and differentiate common functions.
- solve first and second order linear differential
equations.
- manipulate complex numbers (add, subtract, multiply,
divide, complex conjugate, absolute value, phase
(argument), etc.).
- manipulate vectors and matrices up to dimension 3 or
4.
