    Mallard Information


    Welcome To EE 201 Electric Circuits

    Engineers solve problems using fundamental principles, experience and judgement. In this fundamental electrical engineering course you will learn basic principles that will serve as the technical foundation for your career in electrical and/or computer engineering. You must strive to master these principles and become skilled in their application.

    My expectation is that we will all work hard on this course this semester and by the end of the term, we will all have learned much. You will have learned the principles and how to apply them; I, and the other staff associated with these sections, will have learned much about developing instructional materials for delivery and administration via the Internet (see About Mallard). This course will require many hours of effort by students and staff alike.

    Broadly speaking, I urge you to work at developing the following skills so that by the time you complete your bachelors degree you will be able to:

    1. Locate sharply-focused information from a wide array of sources
            (i.e. hone your information acquisition skills)
    2. Assess the reliability and relevance of the found information
            (i.e. strengthen your critical thinking skills)
    3. Draw the appropriate conclusions
            (i.e. become expert at exercising your judgement and reasoning skills)
    4. Take informed/knowledgeable action
            (i.e. have courage, self-confidence and a bias for action)
