ECE 270 - Waves and Optics

Institution:

York College of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Spring Semester This course introduces fundamental knowledge in the physics of waves and its contrast to the physics of particles. Topics include: free, forced and damped oscillation, transverse and longitudinal waves, standing and traveling waves, superposition and interference, reflection and images and diffraction and refraction. Particular phenomena related to sound waves, electromagnetic waves, photons and matter waves, and quantum mechanical waves are also discussed. Prerequisite: PHY260. 3 credit hours. ECE280 (ME280) Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Spring Semester This course covers topics in AC and DC linear circuit analysis including Kirchhoff's Laws, voltage and current division, nodal and mesh analysis, superposition, equivalent circuits and power, and the role of circuit components such as dependent and independent sources, operational amplifiers, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Steady-state AC circuit topics such as phasors, impedance, frequency response, filtering, damping, resonance, and power are covered. The transient responses of 1st and 2nd order systems are examined. Magnetic circuits are also introduced. Prerequisites: PHY260, MAT272. Corequisite: ECE281. 3 credit hours. ECE281 (ME281) Electronic Instrumentation Spring Semester This laboratory course introduces the student to basic electronic measurement instruments. The laboratory sessions also require the student to build comparators, amplifiers, filters, and other signal processing devices from basic electronic components. The concepts of stability and noise are discussed whenever applicable. Corequisite: ECE280. 1 credit hour.
