Location: BAR 211
Facebook Event Link

Ever wonder what Digital Logic is? Afraid to take this notoriously difficult EE/CE course? Want to be ahead of the game? Have no fear, because UF IEEE will be hosting it's semesterly Digital Logic Crash Course! Come learn the basics of digital arithmetic, logic gates, and synchronous elements. This is intended for those planning to take Digital Logic (EEL3701C) in Spring 2017 or later.

Hope to see you there!

Engineering Week 2017


Hello,

My name is Katie Thorp and I am the Assistant Director for the Benton Engineering Council’s Engineers Fair 2017. The fair takes place at the Reitz Union on February 21-22, 2016 and we are seeking students to share their research with a poster for the symposium. Students who have projects with an interactive element or display will be given preference. In order to reach as many students as possible, it would be helpful if you would share the google form link below via your list-serve for students to apply to present.


Sincerely,

Katie Thorp

All classes in NEB will be cancelled for the rest of the day



Dear ECE Students,

I just spoke with the Dean. All classes in NEB will be cancelled for the rest of the day. They will resume as usual tomorrow morning. Our students services office will alert all of our students, grad and undergrad. Faculty can also email the students in their courses to make sure they get the word. 

Faculty, staff and grad students will be able to return to their offices and labs in NEB as soon as the building is reopened. Hopefully NEB will reopen by 3pm.

            Spring 2016

 

Catalog Data:
ECE Adventures. Credits: 2.
Times and locations:
Class meets M 8-9 in MAEA 327 and lab meets M 8-9 in WECE Maker Garage on the 2nd floor of the New Engineering Building (NEB)

Description:  
Students get a closer look into some of the prominent fields of ECE applications such as biomedical, energy, audio, and computers through lectures by experienced students and professors within the department. They will also get hands-on experience through labs that will include an element the students must design themselves. The course meets once a week so the class will either be a lecture or a lab as laid out in the weekly schedule below. Grades are based on attendance and class participation.  No exams.
Textbook:
None
Reference:
None
Supervisor:
Dr. Harris (Chair of ECE department)
Coordinators:
Rachel Johnson – Second year Electrical Engineering graduate student, concentration is Computer Hardware. Completed undergraduate here at UF in Electrical Engineering. Has been a teaching assistant (TA) for several courses in the department (EEL 3744, EEL 3701, EGN 1002). Researched with several professors including Dr. Mishra (CISE dept.) and Dr. Stitt and now working for Dr. Harris on several projects, this course being one.
HKN Curriculum Chair, Seth Kittles – Electrical Engineering Senior, study emphasis on wireless networking and digital signal processing. Member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum committee. Curriculum chair for Eta Kappa Nu. Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Epsilon Sigma Chapter is the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society at the University of Florida. HKN gives back to the department by offering exam reviews, designing new ECE courses, and serving as a point of contact between students and faculty.

Goals:
Students will learn about applications of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the various fields in industry and will gain some experience in designing these applications.  Students will be exposed to ECE applications in the fields of biomedicine, energy, computers, automobiles, and audio.  
Prerequisites:
None
Topics:  
1.       Introduction to Circuits  
2.       Biomedicine
3.       Computers
4.       Automobiles
5.       Energy
6.       Audio


Grading
Grades are based on attendance as well as laboratory and class participation.  No exams, quizzes or homework. Attendance is taken in all classes and labs.
