CME201 Introduction to Circuits
Credits: 4 (3, 1,2) Prerequisites: PHY205, MATH113
This module provides a comprehensive introduction to both DC and AC circuit principles. Students
will begin by reviewing fundamental concepts, including current, voltage, and power. The course
then explores series and parallel circuits and delves into Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, source
transformations, bridge networks, and delta/star transformations. Key analysis methods and
network theorems are also covered. Additionally, the module revisits inductors and capacitors,
introduces sinusoidal sources and the concept of phasors, and details methods for analyzing AC
circuits. Practical experience is emphasized through hands-on use of electrical measurement tools
such as voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters, function generators, and oscilloscopes.

CME211 Electronic Fundamentals
Credits: 4 (3,1,2) Prerequisites: CME201
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to essential semiconductor devices and
amplifiers. It covers diodes, including special-purpose types, and explores Bipolar Junction
Transistors (BJTs) with a focus on their operation, characteristics, and various biasing methods.
Students will study transistor amplifier configurations such as common emitter, common
collector, and common base, as well as classes of power amplifiers. The course also delves into
operational amplifiers (Op-Amps), addressing their parameters, feedback mechanisms, and
various practical circuit applications.

CME221 Logic Design
Credits: 4 (3,1,2) Prerequisites: EE101
This module enables students to understand concepts in binary numbers, number base
conversion, complements and codes, definition of Boolean Algebra, Boolean functions, digital
logic gates, integrated circuits, Karnaugh map methods, combinational logic circuits, sequential
logic circuits and Memory modules. Design and analysis of sequential logic circuits such as: Shift
Registers, Counters, Synchronous and Asynchronous Sequential Circuits, State Diagrams, State
Tables, Students will be able to develop, measure, and test different types of Sequential Circuits
using D-type, T-type, and JK-type Flip-Flops.

CME231 Signals and Systems
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: MATH225, CME201
This course covers basic concepts and methods related to continuous and discrete-time signals
and systems. The course includes: signals and systems and their properties, linear time-invariant
systems, stability analysis, sampling of continuous-time signals, z-transform, continuous and
discrete-time Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform and fast Fourier Transform.

CME261 Networks I
Credits: 4 (3,1,2) Prerequisites: EE101, STAT101
The course begins by reviewing the behaviors of inductor and capacitor storing elements. It then
covers the characteristics and behavior of first-order RL/RC circuits, as well as second-order RLC
circuits. Additionally, the course explains the conversion of time-domain circuits to the s-domain
using the Laplace transform. Furthermore, it delves into frequency response and resonance,
providing a basic understanding of filter circuits. The course also includes the study of electrical
configurations involving three phases of networks and the analysis of two-port networks.
