OUTLINE ECE 286 : Computer Tools in Electrical & Computer Engineering

This is a ONE credit course.  The class will be conducted once a week for 150 minutes (ie 3 lecture duration) and  will meet  for the first five weeks only.  For the reminder of the period we will make the classroom available for working on the project assignment.

Software Tools Discussed in the Course:

bulletOrCAD Pspice for Windows

 Outcomes and Objectives - ECE 286 -
