Pioneer Quotes:

“The electrical engineering technology program helped to reinforce and expand upon skills that I had learned as a technician in the military... It’s not enough to know how a system is supposed to work; you have to be able to fix it when it doesn’t.” -Matthew Porterfield, ’16

Courses You May Take

ELET3103: Electronics Theory II

Credits: 3

This course involves the study and application of operational amplifiers. Inverting, non-inverting and follower amplifiers are presented in detail with consideration of gain, bandwidth, and impedance. Different feedback circuits are studied to realize basic mathematical operations. Op-amps topologies are then used to make filters, oscillators, and regulated power supplies.

ELET5113: Electronic Communications

Credits: 0-3

This course is the study of analog and digital communication concepts and systems. Students begin by learning the terminology and measurements used in the communication industry. The course includes analysis of AM, and FM transmission and reception, Single-Sideband communications, Digital Wired and Wireless Communications, Network Communications, and Multiplexing and De-multiplexing techniques. Emphasis is on the system approach with block diagrams, with the presentation of theoretical fundamentals and study of the concepts within each diagram. The associated laboratory and projects augment the lecture theory. Students investigate further by completing an individual project.

EMET6004: Feedback Control Systems

Credits: 0-4

Feedback control systems with topics in time response, stability, criteria, system representation, root locus diagrams, and compensation. The systems include electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical networks. The laboratory features simulation of electrical and mechanical systems using MATLAB and SIMULINK as well as a variety of physical controllers.
