Announcements

  • 1/20: Welcome to EEE 5! xD
  • 1/26: Please add yourselves and your classmates on our FB group (EEE5 Chito 2s1617)
  • 1/30: Our online class records is now up! Please see link above.
  • 2/3: HW1 is now uploaded. Write your answers on yellow paper. Show your complete solution and box your final answers. Do not forget to include proper units. Deadline is on February 8 (Wednesday), 5:00 pm. Have your papers time-stamped and then put them on the submission box that I will put on EEEI Room 220. There is a time-stamp machine in Rm. 220.
  • 2/9: Problem Set 1 is now uploaded. Deadline is February 14, 10am.
  • 3/11: HW3 is now uploaded. Write your answers on yellow paper. Submit in the drop box at Room 220. Deadline is on Wednesday 5:00 pm. Please write your name, student number, and section on the upper right corner of each page.
  • 3/18: Problem Set 2 is now uploaded. Deadline is March 24, 5pm. Submit in the drop box at Room 220.
  • 3/30: Lecture 05 has been updated (slide 85, 86, 87, 89). Simply redownload the file.
  • 3/30: Problem Set 2 (solution) link now on this site. Correctionfor problem6 e.iii: The charge density plot should be flipped horizontally. The right side is the P-side and the net charge density at the right side is from the ionized acceptor atoms, which are negatively charged. The net charge density at the left is due to the ionized donor atoms which are positively charged.
  • 4/23: HW on digital circuits is on the slides of Lecture 09.
  • 4/26: Slides for Lecture 09 updated to include K-Maps for POS and CMOS Logic Gates.
  • 4/26: Problem Set 3 is now uploaded. I decided to move the deadline to May 02 Tuesday, 11:30am. This is so that we can discuss the solution on Tuesday/Wednesday and limit context switching as the next topic is a bit different.
