1 ECEG 101 -- Electrical and Computer Engineering Analysis
Introduction to concepts, voltage, current, signals, network elements, and Kirchhoff’s laws. Electrical measurements, energy and information generation, storage and transmission. Introduction to logic circuits and switching theory.2 Syllabus
The official course syllabus is available here. It is very important that you review the course policies described in the syllabus. To make sure you get full credit for your work you should also follow the guidelines in Getting Full Credit.
Students are always expected to abide by the Bucknell Honor Code and should review the information regarding Academic Responsibility. As a general rule anything you hand in (homework assignment, lab report, program code, or exam) must be your own original work. Any text, graphic, data, or other material that you copy from another source must be clearly indicated and properly cited. You are encouraged to discuss the course materials with other students but each student must submit their own work. If students work together as a team to complete laboratory assignments then each team should submit one report. Honor code violations are taken very seriously and may be referred to the Bucknell University Board of Review.
