program layout questions and issues[edit source]

the layout of the program ee seams a little odd now i learned the technician method rather than engineering method but it seams the order of things is a bit off.
heres some ideas i just put to paper also heres a coarse layout from devry if a couple others could find there coarse layouts and post them see if we can come up with some ideas.
devry coarse layout all degrees

current layout

how i learnd it givin i did the technician style

idea for development

anyhow its starting thougt hope it gets some pepole thinking thers also a eet(ee) plan of study in that pdf at the top and ya ect is 5 terms i didnt post the last one
if someone else has some ideas or contenuations on this thats great but i do think we need to look at it
Eadthem 05:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

looking at it again most of its prob that i took technician track rather than engineering track i still think the first courses need to start off with simpler stuff as well as basic breadboarding and circuitry before doing any logic circuits Eadthem 06:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Level 0[edit source]

added lvl 0 to the corse list and some ideas

i am thinking of remedial stuff here.
intro to electronics, Likely someone could skip allot but it would be there to bring every one up to speed
under basic spice, It was a thought perhaps the basics of a cad program LTspice/switcher cad III beaning 100% free, gEDA as its open source possibly harder to run, and multisim not free by any measure but widely used.
test equipment
was thinking how to use digital and analog handled and bench meters hp has a nice standard bench meter.

couple modals of oscopes ive got a analog tektronix 2246 prob a digital textronics would be nice to
agilent is also rather popular so prob a digital one of them maybe a bk precision and a pc oscope.

also power supples as money will be tight for a lot of people.
how to use battery's for circuits
i know bk precision and i think hp/agilent make some standard looking analog and digital supplys.
personally planning to put my schematic for a simple dual isolated supply up eventually when time comes as its not hard to build

signal generators
i only ever used a agilent digital signal gen i know theres others prob would be nice to have one from a couple other makers.

also for the above test equipment thinking would be nice to have hints and tips for buying ones own equipment off ebay or in store.

the other 2 courses i think are likely needed as to what else should be in them i don't know for sure.

the following at level 0 are here for ideas on the talk page.

  • EE ??? Intro to Electronics
    • Breadboarding, Basic spice, Soldering, test equipment
  • EE ??? Intro to Computers
    • Hardware basics, OS basics, Software basics
  • EE ??? Intro to Engendering Math
    • Algebra, Geometry, Trig

class descriptions[edit source]

i think it would be nice to have these on all ower classes i've put 4 out there already so you can see what it would look like or at least 1 idea for it.

Also there are some classes that are less than clear exactly what thay cover and there pages arnt created yet.

I suggest rather than start on them just to have a this is what this covers, on a page, putting a description below the class link this way if we need to alter the names of pages it wont take a move+redirect. Then we can make the pages when we have actual content to place on them.
Eadthem 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC) for presveration shuld we decide to go back Level 0[reply]
the following at level 0 are here for ideas on the talk page.

class nav template[edit source]

i've suggested a basic layout for page names and made a template for class pages its in use in the EE111 class.
full class name/full lecture name
EE_111_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops
Eadthem 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

class name proposal[edit source]

I talked to jwschmidt and couple others on irc and a lot of people don't like the class number/name system for pages
current system

  • classes
    • EE 111 Digital Electronics
  • lectures
    • EE_111_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops
  • advantages
    • easy for someone who is trying to learn in classes
    • pages show in order by department(in the categorys)
  • problems
    • apparently confusing to a lot of people.
    • others also wouldn't be to hard to follow along in classes if they are done right.

proposed system 1 this is what i have been using lately.

  • classes
    • EE_Digital Electronics
  • lectures
    • EE_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops
  • advantages
    • pages show in order by department(in the categorys)
  • problems
    • maby little confusing at first? likely not a prob to someone interested in the field

proposed system 2

  • classes
    • Digital_Electronics_EE
  • lectures
    • Digital_Electronics_EE/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops
  • advantages
    • pages show in order by class and you can still tell witch department there related to(in the categorys)
  • problems
    • maby little confusing at first? likely not a prob to someone interested in the field

proposed system 3

  • classes
    • Digital_Electronics
  • lectures
    • Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops
  • advantages
    • like wikipedia
  • problems
    • like wikipedia perhaps makes it harder for someone to say learn on here as they would in univeristy (more of difference only to class names)
    • possible name collisions "analog electronics" for engineering "analog electronics" for techichan (electron flow / hole flow hole vr electron see the find out why's)

School Face Lift[edit source]

Hey pips. Please comment on face lift for the department. Colour scheme can be discussed as well. Thanx! Thuvack 10:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking PCB green the black on dark purple isnt working thow hard to read Eadthem 23:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PCB Green sounds good, Anyboy-else with other suggestion. If this is the only suggestion after a week, then I'll change Box-headers to PCB Green. -Thuvack 15:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
checkY Done- What should we change the background colour to, I dont think lavender goes well with PCB green. - Thuvack 12:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
well theres 2 shades of PCB green
copper PCB greenMask PCB green
althow those colors prob arnt best, generally a PCB will use thick white lettering for all labels and text.
If you really wanted to implement PCB green you should have masked copper as the headers and mask green as the body and white font with no flourishes say aerial witch wiki already uses.Eadthem 11:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please have a look at this proposed School Face lift. It incorporates catergorisation and course wish list on sub pages. Also Department news are moved to a sub page. Please see this discussion for clarity on motivations towards this standardisation. I will wait a week for comments before implementing this change.;-)Thuvack 05:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
