Class Overview

Delivery: On-line Tutoring Only
Instructor: Prof Skip Laratonda, Jr., MSEE, PE

I have been teaching Circuit Analysis and Digital Systems at Penn State and working in industry since 1975.
I presently teach both AC/DC Circuit Analysis, Operational Amplifiers, Digital Systems, and Digital Logic.
I have been a Licensed Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 1983.
I am looking forward to passing some of my experience and engineering knowledge on to you.
