EE 2175 is an introductory circuit analysis and data acquisition/sensor instrumentation course designed for Civil and Environmental Engineering majors. Taking this course will benefit you by enhancing your understanding of how electrical systems interact with civil infrastructure. In modern engineering, many civil projects incorporate electronic controls, sensors, and monitoring systems. A solid grasp of circuit analysis will equip you with the ability to design, troubleshoot, and optimize these integrated systems effectively. This knowledge allows you to anticipate potential electrical issues, ensure compatibility between civil structures and electrical components, and contribute to more efficient and reliable designs. Moreover, it will broaden your problem-solving skills and make you a versatile engineer who can bridge the gap between civil and electrical disciplines in multidisciplinary teams.
