ECE 2040 is a 3 credit hour class with no lab requirement. It is an elective for electrical engineering majors and a requirement for computer engineering majors.[1] ECE 2040 is an introductory course that teaches methods of circuit analysis, an understanding of the physical laws governing circuits, and linear elements used in circuits (i.e. resistors, capacitors, inductors). Several lab projects utilizing the myDAQ, a data acquisition device also used in ECE 2020 and ECE 3084, are featured in the course. Students are required to either purchase a myDAQ or check one out from the library for ECE 2040.

Future Outlook[edit | edit source]
ECE 2040 is a prerequisite for many courses in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These courses are listed below.
- ECE 3025 - Electromagnetics
- ECE 3030 - Physical Foundations of Computer Engineering
- ECE 3040 - Microelectronic Circuits
- ECE 3077 - Introduction to Probability and Statistics for ECE
- ECE 3150 - VLSI and Advanced Digital Design
- ECE 3170 - Cryptographic Hardware for Embedded Systems
- ECE 3550 - Feedback Control System
Many of the above courses are also requirements for EE and CompE degrees--these courses may be prerequisites for other major-required courses or for certain electives.
ECE 2040 is also a pre or co-requisite for some non-ECE classes:
- BMED 4782 - Biosystems Analysis
- CHBE 4782 - Biosystems Analysis
- ME 3017 - System Dynamics
- ME 4013 - Hybrid Vehicle Powertrains
- ME 4782 - Biosystems Analysis
Registration[edit | edit source]
ECE 2040 is not a linked course.
