EE100,EE42/43 - Electronic Techniques for EngineeringGeneral Course InformationbyBharathwaj “Bart Simpson” MuthuswamyDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences,University of California at BerkeleySummer 2006EE100 and EE42/43: An Important NoteBefore we begin, some clarifications on course structure. EE 42/43 is the intro-ductory electronics class/lab for CS majors. EE 42 is the class, EE 43 is the lab. TheEECS department decided to combine these classes with EE100 since the course ma-terial(s) overlap. I will refer to this combined offering as EE100, although I will becovering EE 42/43 material as well. If you want to satisfy the EE42/43 requirement asa CS L&S major, please register for EE 42 and EE 43 (check the schedule of classes forenrollment: http://schedule.berkeley.edu). Note that if you are an EECS major, youDO NOT belong in any of these classes. You should take EECS 40 (which is offeredthis summer).iACKNOWLEDGMENTSMany thanks to the Electrical Engineering department at the University of California, Berkeleyfor providing the teaching staff with facilities for the class. The TAs and readers for this class deservea special thank you for all their effort. Prof. Ronald Fearing and Prof. Richard White helped startup this combined course offering. The conversation with Prof. Bob Meyer in late Spring 2006 helpedus reshape the final project for this course. Most of this course document is based off the very clearcourse notes for CS61A by Prof. Brian Harvey. Ferenc, Tho, Pete, Khossrov, Ming, and Win ofthe Electronic Supp ort Group at the University of California, Berkeley provide much needed labsupport for the class. Elisa Lewis scheduled the lectures, lab and discussion sections. Many thanksto Kevin Bowers for providing an excellent LATEXtemplate on his homepage [2].Go Bears!iiContents1 General Course Introduction 12 Course Materials 33 Syllabus and Lab Schedule 44 Resources 65 Enrollment - Class, Laboratory and Discussion Sections 76 Policy on Cheating 87 Exams and Grades 108 FAQs 13Bibliography 16iiiChapter 1General Course IntroductionNOTE: THE CURRENT ONLINE (http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee100/handouts )VERSION OF THESE COURSE NOTES HAS THE FINAL SAY ON ANY COURSEPOLICY. Email corrections in this document to [email protected] to EE100 (or EECS 100 or EECS 42/43) for Summer 2006! I am Bharath (aka BartSimpson) and I am the instructor for this class. I am really excited to teach this class and I am soglad the class has so many students ready to learn some cool stuff.Ever since Summer 05 we are offering both EE100 and EE42/43 as one class. This is because ofan overlap in the conceptual material (refer to the Online Course Catalog [4] for a detailed descriptionof EE100, EE42 and EE43). For more information, please read the IMPORTANT NOTE pageat the beginning of this document. I will refer to the course as “EE100” from now on.The prerequisites for this course are Math 1B and Physics 7B. However, I won’t be enforcing anyprerequisites since I will make this course self-contained. If you didn’t take either of the prerequisites,you will not be at a huge disadvantage. You may have to spend a little more time on certain partsof the course, but you shouldn’t consider dropping the class just because you didn’t take Math 1Band/or Physics 7B.DO NOT TAKE Math 1B or Physics 7B (or any other class) concurrently. This class isabout 30 hours/week of work, including lectures, labs and discussions. Lectures are 6hours/week, labs are 6 hours/week and discussions are 2 hours/week. Therefore, you will spendalmost 15 hours/week in class alone! Since this is summer and we are covering 16 weeks of materialin 8 weeks, expect to spend at least 15 hours/week on the homework. In other words, this class islike a full-time job.Why do you have to take this course? The simple answer: it is a graduation requirement.However, I was in your same situation several years ago - taking graduation requirements. So,1believe me when I say I understand your situation. I will try to make the class fun and entertaining.I will also give you a lot of mathematical tools (for example, dynamic route) that you can use inyour major.From another perspective, I will give you a broad introduction to electrical engineering. Afterunderstanding the concepts in this class, you can take any upper division electrical engineeringcourse. Moreoever, the course will answer practical questions like “what comes out of a wall outlet?”,“whats the difference between DC and AC?”. You will use circuit simulation tools and constructcircuits in the real world.I will also incorporate some aspects of your major into the course. For instance, you learn how touse a software called LabVIEW in this course. This should be relevant to the Mechanical Engineersin this class, since most of the ME classes use this tool. LabVIEW is actually applicable to anymajor, as you will learn from the lab component of this class.In conclusion, please do not view this class as a requirement enforced by your department.Rather, think about it as learning what makes the electrical world “tick”. Also, I WANTED TOTEACH THIS CLASS, BECAUSE I LOVE TEACHING.2Chapter 2Course Materials1. Book: James W. Nilsson and Susan A. Riedel, ”Electric Circuits”, 7th Ed.
