Announcements (Updated 28 May 2008)
(28 May 2008) This is the website from last year. The topics will remain the same, but we will make some changes. One of the first is the textbook, which is different from last year. Watch for a new website for the current year sometime later in the summer.

The textbook will be Hambley, Electronics , Second Edition.

Resources
Pspice information (Thanks to Prof. McGruer) PSpice (Available on NU computers or download for free). We will extensively use PSpice. The student version of PSpice is available for free. You may use any version of PSpice that you wish, but you may find it helpful to be consistent in your versions. You cannot save in version 9.1 and use in version 8.0. In fact, sometimes there is difficulty in saving in version 8.0 and then using in version 9.1, but less so.

Pspice is avaliable at http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/013/ .

It is reported to be available at http://www.web-ee.com/Downloads/Simulator/simulation.htm , but that did not work for me.

Guidelines for writing a SPICE report are here .

Some of my own pet peeves about students' reports are here

Tutoring is available by Eta Kappa Nu, Electrical Engineering Honor Society, in 243 Forsyth. There is a schedule posted on the door and http://www.hkn.neu.edu.
