REQUEST FOR ACTION BY THE ENGINEERING CURRICULUM COMMITTEE
Academic Year 2010-2011
____________________________________________________________________________________________
This form should be sent to the Engineering Curriculum Committee (SOECC) at least two weeks before a regularly
scheduled meeting of the SOECC. Please provide both a signed paper copy of the form and an electronic version of the
document to Alva Couch, SOECC chair (print copy to Computer Science, Halligan Hall, email to
Alva.Couch@Tufts.edu), and an electronic version only to Engineering Librarian Karen Vagts (Karen.Vagts@Tufts.edu)
and Science Bibliographer Miriam Allman (Miriam.Allman@Tufts.edu) at Tisch Library.
If credit is desired in either Natural Science or Mathematical Science distribution area in Liberal Arts, one must obtain
separate approval from the Academic Review Board (ARB). Please forward the course description to the chair of the
ARB, currently Joseph Auner (Music; Joseph.Auner@Tufts.edu).

On this page or on attached pages, please describe changes, rationale, and resources required to
implement the proposed changes.
1.
New course or other requested changes.
There is a change in title and course description and also change in the semester in which it will
be offered. This course will be moved up by one semester due to the earlier consolidation of EE13 and EE-11 that resulted in EE-21, which is a pre-requisite for this course.
Old Version:
EE-012 INTERMEDIATE ELECTRONICS W/LAB
INSTRUCTOR: SONKUSALE, SAMEER FOR SPRING 2010
Techniques used in the analysis of multitransistor circuits; RC oscillators, LC oscillators, and waveform
generators; transistor arrangements common to integrated circuits, including current mirrors, balanced pairs,
and output structures; power amplifiers. Associated laboratory work. Spring.
Prerequisites Electrical Engineering 11.
This course is offered during the following semesters: Spring Semester
New Version:
EE-022 ElECTRONICS II W/LAB
INSTRUCTOR: SONKUSALE, SAMEER FOR FALL 2012
Integrated circuit realizations of MOS transistor circuits, current mirrors, active loads; Bipolar Junction
Transistors, (BJT), device operation, small signal model and analysis, elementary BJT amplifier configuration;
differential amplifiers, multi-stage amplifiers; frequency response of amplifiers; feedback and stability in
analog circuits, nyquist stability criteria, frequency compensation; RC oscillators, LC oscillators, and
waveform generators; output structures; power amplifiers; AM/FM circuits. Associated laboratory work. Fall
Prerequisites Electrical Engineering 21.
This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
2.
Please describe the rationale and impact
Please read the attached rationale document for all the changes associated with the circuits and
systems track.
Please describe the resources required
This is a consolidation of existing courses and resources already exist in the department for the
proposed implementation.
3.
If additional resources are required, please attach a statement from the Dean of
Engineering (or a designee) concerning the resources and how they will be provided.
