Covers DC and AC circuit analysis, including nodal/mesh methods, Thevenin/Norton equivalents, op-amp circuits, transient response, phasors, and power characterization.
Steven Fredette taught ECE 376 as a flipped classroom using pre-recorded lectures and daily in-class exercises. Students found the course challenging with weekly homework and auto-graded assessments; some praised his approachability, while others criticized the reliance on outdated videos and lack of feedback.
Independent work on master's research overseen by a qualified instructor. Students demonstrate the ability to formulate, analyze, and independently solve advanced engineering problems and communicate research results orally and in writing.
