Fundamentals of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Description from DukeHub

Students learn core ECE concepts, providing a foundation on which subsequent courses build. Concepts include techniques for analyzing linear circuits, semiconductor and photonic devices, frequency representation, filtering, combinational and sequential logic. Central to the course is an extensive design challenge that requires students to integrate knowledge across topics while honing practical design and project management skills. Course culminates in an exciting competition in which teams of robots race to overcome challenging obstacles using sensor data acquisition and processing. Prerequisite/corequisite: (Engineering 103L or Engineering 105L or Computer Science 201) and (Mathematics 112L or 22 or equivalent).

AI-resilient: 2 of 5 2/5

• ✓Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "lab"
• ✓Yes: Live work with people · "teams"
• No: Judgment someone is accountable for
• No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
• No: Small, in-person format

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
