Note: See beginning of Section F for abbreviations, course numbers and coding.
ECE 1813 Electricity and Magnetism
4 ch (3C 1T 3L)
Introduces the fundamentals of electricity, magnetism and applications. Covers concepts of
charge, voltage, current, power, energy, electric and magnetic fields, and the
electromagnetic spectrum. Includes resistors, resistance, Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s voltage and
current laws, branch current analysis, some electrical properties of materials, electric
sources, simple series, parallel and series-parallel dc circuits. The basic concepts of digital
switching logic are introduced, including gates and truth tables. Energy conversion and
simple electric machines are examined, as are the behaviour and use of common sensors
and transducers. Corequisite: MATH 1003
ECE 2711 Electric Circuits
4 ch (3C 1T 3L*)
Basic DC circuits: network analysis and theorems:. AC circuits: introduction of phasors,
network analysis and theorems applied to AC circuits. Prerequisites: MATH 1013; ECE
1813 or EE 1813 or equivalent
ECE 2722 Circuits and Systems
4 ch (3C 1T 3L*)
Network analysis; transient and steady state responses; transfer functions; complex
frequencies; poles and zeros; Laplace Transforms; frequency response and Bode Plots;
filters (passive and active). Prerequisites: ECE 2711 or EE 2711 or equivalent; MATH
1503 or MATH 2213 or equivalent. Co-requisite: MATH 3503 or equivalent.
ECE 2213
Digital Systems
4 ch (3C 1T 3L*)
Introduces the design of digital systems, including basic design concepts and
implementation technology, number representations, synthesis of combinational and
sequential logic, and the use of HDL and computer-based design tools. Prerequisite: CS
1003 or CS 1073 or equivalent. Recommended co-requisite: ECE 1813 or EE1813
