ECE 2020 is a 3 credit hour class with no lab requirement. It is a requirement for both electrical engineering and computer engineering majors.[1] It parallels parts of CS 2110. ECE 2020 places emphasis on understanding Boolean algebra and gate design.[2] Several lab projects utilizing the myDAQ, a data acquisition device also used in ECE 2040 and ECE 3084, are featured in the course. Students are required to purchase or borrow a myDAQ for ECE 2020.
