Taught by Anant Agarwal, with Gerald Sussman, Piotr Mitros, and Chris Terman, “6.002x Circuits and Electronics” is an experimental on-line adaption of MIT's first undergraduate analog design course 6.002. This course will run, free of charge, for students worldwide from February 21, 2012 through June 10, 2012. 6.002x is designed to serve as a first course in an undergraduate electrical engineering (EE), or electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) curriculum. At MIT, 6.002 is in the core of department subjects required for all undergraduates in EECS. The course introduces engineering in the context of the lumped circuit abstraction. Topics covered include: resistive elements and networks; independent and dependent sources; switches and MOS transistors; digital abstraction; amplifiers; energy storage elements; dynamics of first- and second-order networks; design in the time and frequency domains; and analog and digital circuits and applications. Design and lab exercises are also significant components of the course. Students should expect to spend approximately 10 hours per week on the course. The 6.002 content was created collaboratively by Profs. Anant Agarwal and Jeffrey H. Lang. Students who successfully complete the course will receive an electronic certificate of accomplishment from MIT. Since this is an experimental version of the course, the certificate will be marked as Beta. The course uses the textbook Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits. Agarwal, Anant, and Jeffrey H. Lang. Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Elsevier, July 2005. ISBN: 9781558607354. While recommended, the book is not required -- relevant sections will be provided electronically as part of the on-line course. The book can be purchased on Amazon. Copyright for the book is with Elsevier and the book cannot be printed etc. In order to succeed in this course, students must have taken an AP level physics course in electricity and magnetism. Students must know basic calculus and linear algebra, and have some background in differential equations. Since more advanced mathematics will not show up until the second half of the course, the first half of the course will include an optional remedial differential equations component for students with weaker math backgrounds. The course web site was developed and tested primarily with Google Chrome. We support Mozilla Firefox as well. While we will attempt to make it possible to complete the course with Internet Explorer, portions of the web site functionality will be unavailable. The videos require Flash. The Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. His research focus is in parallel computer architectures, and he is the founder of several successful startups. Most recently, he founded Tilera, which produces scalable multicore embedded processors. He co-author the course textbook "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits." The Co-Director MIT CSAIL, and a highly regarded instructor. He is the author of JSim, an educational package for on-line circuit schematic entry and simulation, and XTutor, and on-line question-and-answer tutoring system. A Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. He is a well know educator in the computer science community, perhaps best know as the author of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which is universally acknowledged as one of the top ten textboooks in computer science, or as the creator of Scheme, a popular teaching language. His research spans a range of topics, from artificial intelligence, to physics and chaotic systems, to supercomputer design. A Research Scientist at MIT. His research focus is in finding ways to apply techniques from control systems to optimizing the learning process. Piotr has worked as an analog designer at Texas Instruments, Talking Lights, and most recently, designed the analog front end for a novel medical imaging modality for Rhythmia Medical.Circuits & Electronics
