    Abstract

    The math background of students in introductory ECE classes can vary significantly. We address this by restructuring of the circuits course taken by computer engineering students, as well as other non-EE majors. This course covers DC circuits, information circuits (filters), and AC circuits. We have structured this course so that we cycle through analysis techniques for each type of circuit, which allows students to reinforce their previous knowledge. AC circuits are covered as a special case of information circuits. The restructuring of the course to focus on fundamentals supports student success and early identification of weaknesses in math backgrounds.
