ELEC 1908 --An introduction to Engineering Physics. A overview of the field of engineering physics is given in this course. Lecture material covers classical physics, differential equations, numerical analysis of differential equations, quantum mechanics, and optoelectronics. The students will complete labs and assignments in numerical analysis and the use of a commercial electrostatic simulation tool and do an experimental project involving the development and characterization of an optical link.

Course Requirements:

TSE (from ECOR 1010 pass/fail)

Assignments/projects 100%
