In this exciting, new introductory course to Electrical Engineering you will unravel the mysteries of the microwave oven, build AM radios and batteries from potatoes, simulate and control dynamic systems on the computer, put together a motor, and build an infrared remote control. Through demonstration lectures, experiments, and exercises, concepts such as voltage, current, power, circuits, motors, light, stability, etc. will be elucidated.

The course will be run in modules by 5 different EE faculty members. There will also be guest lectures, laboratory/discussion sections with TAs, and homework. Grading will be based upon mini-projects for each module.
