ECE 1240 MODULE 1 Overview

    Overview

    Module 1 will introduce you to the basics of voltage, current, and resistance as we use them in electrical and computer engineering. We'll start building your toolbox for analyzing circuits with three very important tools --

    • Ohm's Law (which tells us how voltage, current and resistance work together in simple circuits)
    • Kirchoff's Law (which let's us find all of the voltages and currents in a more complicated resistive network
    • Voltage and current dividers (powerful tools for both analysis and design of circuits). Ensure that you complete the following:

    GETTING STARTED

    • Watch the Pre-Class Lecture Videos for each day, take notes to answer the Question of the Day, and bring those notes to class with you. Add to these notes as you find details you might have missed. You can use these notes as you do the exam, so think of them as a mini-textbook written your way.
    • Homework is assigned Daily, and reinforces the concepts for that day. We will get most of it started in class.
