ESE 1110 (only offered in Fall) is an introduction to the principles underlying electrical and systems engineering.  Concepts used in designing circuits, processing signals, analyzing networks, and understanding complex systems will be discussed in lectures and illustrated in the laboratory.  This course will provide some of the necessary foundations for students interested in more advanced courses in ESE. The class time also includes amazing line up of speakers (faculty, alums, entrepreneurs) to introduce you to careers in research and industry with majors in electrical engineering, computer engineering and systems engineering. The amazing student community includes, Penn Electric Racing, Architechs and PennApps. Checkout the following video that highlights the amazing ESE Lab program


The culmination of the labs is a product fair in which students pitch their concepts and demonstrate a working prototype that incorporates a microcontroller, software, sensors, and circuitry.
