ECE 2031 is a 2 credit ECE laboratory class and is a requirement for both electrical engineering and computer engineering majors.[1] ECE 2031 is effectively the laboratory class for ECE 2020, and it introduces students to design and implementation methods for digital systems.

ECE 2031 is also a requirement for the systems and architecture and devices threads in computer science.[2][3]

Workload[edit | edit source]

Labs are released weekly and must be checked off by undergraduate teaching assistants. Pre-lab quizzes are administered prior to lab check offs.

Emphasis is placed on developing technical communications skills; laboratory reports are graded to strict formatting and content standard. The semester concludes with a team project, requiring cooperation with a group of three to four other students.

Registration[edit | edit source]

ECE 2031 is not a linked course.
