The University of Texas at Arlington - Course EE 1347

Computer Solution of Electrical Engineering Problems

Lectures Time: Tue Th 7:00 p.m. - 8:20 p.m. Location: 312 RH, 148a NH

This course will develop your ability to see and formulate an engineering problem, write an adequate equation, apply a right solution method. Area of problems will cover mechanical, electrical, optical and, may be, social engineering (rate equations). No specific software will be targeted, after this course you should be able to apply the appropriate solution method to any software environment. Nevertheless, I will target three type of software environment: Mathematica (MatLab), PSpice, LabView (we will have a couple of examples of C, to do program blocks for Labview).

Important Announcements!
