Welcome to Electrical and Computer Engineering ! Welcome to ECE1250 ! We are glad you are here!
The Flipped Classroom: How we are going to run this class...
WATCH the video lecture before you come to class. (There won't be a lecture in class....).
Take notes, and answer the Question of the Day in one page or less (you can use these notes on the exam).
Then, Come to Class. We will start the homework, work on problem solving, and talk about engineering applications.
Why? This new teaching method really helps you learn. It is also fun for you and fun for us.
