We will learn the fundamental concepts from electrical engineering -- circuits and electronics -- that will help you in your chosen field. Furthermore, the topics in ECE3183 are crucial in your preparation for the electrical engineering topics in the morning session of the FE exam. To this end, exams in ECE3183 will be in FE-exam format -- multiple choice questions with four answers from which to choose. Exam points will be awarded for the correct answer only.
