It is often interesting to compare what we do in ENGR
210 to that done in similar classes at other schools.
MIT's 6.002 Circuits and Electronics course emphasizes
MOSFETs (electrically controlled resistors) and modeling.
Michigan's
EECS 215 Introduction to Circuits is pretty similar to ours.
Berkeley's EECS40
class emphasizes microelectronics.
Stanford's E40 Introduction to Electronics course emphasizes a lot more digital electronics.
Illinois' ECE205 Introduction to Electric and Electronic Circuits uses a lot of computerized testing.
Carnegie Mellon's 18-220 Fundamentals
of Electrical Engineering course appears to be the most similar to ENGR 210.
However, their course is very different from ours and, as CMU uses Blackboard,
very
little
information is publically available.
Duke's ECE 61L Introduction to Electric
Circuits has a pretty eclectic Web site which includes Ben Franklin's original
electric kite paper.
Ohio State's EE205 Circuit Analysis class uses the same text
we do but they do not appear to have anything publically accessible on-line.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's ECSE
2010 Electric Circuits class also uses the same text
we do. However, they teach it in a "studio" style in which lectures
and labs are integrated in the same classroom. They also cover virtually the
enitre book (see
syllabus) in this course as
they
covered introductory electronics in their Freshman ENGR-1310 Engineering
Electronics
course.
Let me know of any other interesting Circuits Web sites you come across!
