                        7)         Steady state analysis

Computer Usage:  Simulation of First and Second order systems as a programming project

Class/Laboratory Schedule:  Three (3) hours of lecture per week

Professional Component Contribution:  Three (3) hours of Engineering Science

Relationship to Program Outcomes:

• Outcome a:  Solving homework and example problems will require knowledge of and ability to apply mathematical, scientific, and electrical engineering concepts.
• Outcome e:  Students develop their problem solving skills by working on weekly homework assignments.
• Outcome g:  Students are required to prepare their homework assignments and collect them in a notebook.
• Outcome k:  PSPICE assignments (in addition to homework problems) will require them to use techniques and tools that have been made available.
