Course Announcement (for CC students):

E1101: The Digital Information Age

How does an iPod work?

If you have ever wondered how the digital devices you use every day manage to do the extraordinary things they do, then consider taking ELEN E1101: The Digital Information Age. This course is given by the Department of Electrical Engineering for non-engineering majors, and satisfies the Columbia College science requirement. In it, you will learn how common digital information systems work and why they work.

Each student is invited to be an engineer for one semester - to think quantitatively, to appreciate the creativity involved in the design of common digital systems, and experience the satisfaction of understanding the inner workings of our digital environment. The topics for the course were selected by starting with the devices we encounter daily, such as mp3 players, cell phones, webcams, the "Wiimote" and so on, and then including the physical and mathematical principles that explain their operation. A working knowledge of algebra is the only math prerequisite.

Anyone who can think logically will enjoy this course!
