APC Document 30: Delete
ECE 206 and ECE 302
Effective Date: Fall 2009
1. Delete: On page 135, the entry for ECE 206:
206 Introduction to Computer
Organization (3)
Introduction
to key concepts in computer organization. Number representations, switching
circuits, logic design, microprocessor design, assembly language programming,
input/output, interrupts and traps, direct memory access, structured program
development. Corequisite: ECE 200. Fall.
2. Delete: On page 135, the entry for ECE 302:
302 Microelectronics (4)
Introduction
to the physics of semiconductors, PN Junctions, BJT and MOS field Effects
Transistors: Physics of operation, IV characteristics, circuit models, SPICE
analysis: simple diode circuits; Single Stage Transistor Amplifiers: Common
Emitter and Common Source configurations, biasing, calculations of small signal
voltage gain, current gain, input resistance and output resistance;
Introduction to Differential Amplifiers, Operational Amplifiers. Prerequisite:
ECE 211. Fall.
Impact:
There
will be no impact on resources and staffing of the Engineering program due to
these changes.
Rationale:
Students
no longer take ECE 206 and ECE 302 as part of the JEM curriculum. They have
been replaced by new courses that better meet the learning objectives of the
Mechatronics degree.
